This map made me realize how small Great Britain really is. I drive 550 miles to visit my mom in the US, Great Britain is only 600 miles long from north to south.
A 1000 mile radius does cover a chunk of the US. Centered on Denver it covers basically everything west of Michigan (excl Alaska and Hawaii of course).
I had a german professor once remark to me about how different Americans are, like hundreds of miles is a day trip, hundreds of miles is a week long trip by car. Bet the trains are awesome though. Amtrak long distances seems way too expensive relative to my other options when factoring in time.
Man Europe is hilariously small! Don’t get me wrong, it’d love to abandon the US and live there. It’s just mind blowing the perspective this map gives.

It’s extremely horrifying is what it is and the executives responsible for this decision should be put into prison. This is monstrous. Someone who’s comfortable with this decision does not belong in society. A monetary fine is not adequate, especially since the fines are usually less than the profit they earn through these types of actions. They just consider them business expenses.
