Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more...

take your downvotes
We're doomed to see this comically bad take again and again unless and until by some miracle the US education system improves
What do you mean? US has the most intellectual capital. Your top 100 universities in the world are mostly in the US.
13% of adults are illiterate (124 other countries in the world with higher literacy rates).
Almost half the population thinks humans aren't contributing to climate change.
40% of people believe the earth was created a few thousand years ago.
42% of people think Russia is communist.
And on average people in the US think 22% of the population is Muslim, where the real number is more like 1%.
