There is a bit of scholarly debate about the real population of the PRC since COVID revealed some fissures in their population claims.

Quote

Yi Fuxian, an obstetrician at University of Wisconsin-Madison who conducts demography research, said the censuses China carries out every 10 years are "seriously overestimated" in an effort to match official estimates. The annual data should be corrected with the census data, he said.

I did not realize that many northern Michigan counties are more than 50% Amish!

I think Taylor has a claim for Michigan, at least for the Detroit area.

It’s the place where the amorphous downriver meets the people who can’t otherwise name any downriver towns

Here is a question: which west side of Mich town is the closest to Taylor in terms of being the laughingstock?

Muskegeon?

I remember my dad making duck blood soup when I was a kid.  Thankfully he didn’t expect us to eat it.

I’ll just opine that Trenton, NJ (the state’s capital) has no redeeming factors.

Plus it's the only city in the area you can comfortably append "-tucky" to the end of. 😉

My very [political thing] brother once was a big Star Trek fan and had a flag of the Federation which is basically the same UN blue flag.  He sported this in his front window in Taylor.  Well, the Taylor locals saw this as an affront to [political thing] and shot his window out.   

 

OH wait this is the political forum.  He's a MAGA now so its ironic that the locals saw it as an affront to 'merica.   Guess he learned his lesson or something.
