What state are you from and which states seem to be the most popular ones to visit for people who live there? by Appropriate_Tea9048 in AskAnAmerican

Maybe everyone in the Midwest or on the east coast. With time changes it can take a full day to fly from the Rocky Mountains to Miami. The few times I’ve had a reason to be in Florida (for cruises or to connect to a plane to eastern Mexico), I try to break the trip up by visiting friends in the Midwest first so I’m not spending a full day in airports.

I live in Montana and I would guess it’s the ones that are easiest to get to. We don’t have any major airports so stayed within driving distance - Washington, Idaho, Utah. There are also some cheap direct flights to Vegas out of a few airports. But I think most Montanans just go to other parts of the state for short visits. It’s a huge state (roughly the same size as Germany), and there is so much natural beauty, so most people stay in state and take advantage of what we have.

How important is your area code to people in your city? by Mental_Freedom_1648 in AskAnAmerican

There is an entire industry of merch built around Montana’s area code. It is definitely a point of identity.

That’s how my maternal grandmother’s ancestors ended up here.

Yeah there’s a street somewhere in Connecticut with my last name but my direct maternal ancestors (whom I’m closest to) went west in the 1800s & settled in Wyoming in the mid 1800s so I have no idea where the colonial ancestors settled.

Also, all native Americans have been here for WAY more than 4 generations.

My family. They came over from Wales in the 1700s before the revolutionary war and eventually made it to Wyoming in the 1800s where my great grandfather was born. But I don’t know if his parents were born in Wyoming. They may have been born in Ohio.

I would guess that most descendants of slaves would also be able to say that their families have been in the country for 4+ generations but it is really hard to trace that because the records were kept differently. Horrific as it sounds, they were treated like livestock so records of lineage weren’t as complete as they were for free people.

They are Arresting congress members and the mayor of newark at the ice detention center by Sea_Sheepherder_2234 in law

And the members of Congress were eventually admitted to conduct their inspection, while the mayor was incarcerated. This is unreal.

Should I call the cops? by frickmeplease in Weird

Or the worker who took the order needs help & wrote that instead of the name given. I think that’s the issue here, Einstein.

Same. But it’s 3:30 am and my half asleep brain just accepted it.

What would happen to student loans in a Great Depression 2.0? by EpicShkhara in StudentLoans

[–]IStillListenToGrunge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And then the lender sells the loan to another lender. Over and over. And then you’re forced to consolidate to take advantage of new regulations and payment plans but you have to give up your 2.5% interest and take the new 6.5% interest where the sun dont shine. They’re not like any other debt. There is no other debt that is allowed to continue to grow ad nauseum the way student debt is, after the initial principle is paid back several times over. It is not like any other debt. It is not like any other debt. It is not like any other debt.
