Arkansas is the only place in the US where you can dig for diamonds. Least ways, with any chance for success.

There's a small chance at the kimberlite pipes near Kelsey Lake, Colorado, but they generally won't let you onto the old open pit area.  I started as a geology major before switching to biology.  I liked field work but never looked back after switching.

The only safe animal to be in Arkansas is a hedgehog.

Because they know where the diamonds are.

Agreed, Arkansas is a great spot for the refugees from Ukraine.

The Vietnamese picked Westminster, California.

The Persians picked Beverly Hills, California.

The Albanians picked Glendale, California.

The people from Ukraine can pick Mena, Arkansas.

Here is a link for a community college in Mena, Arkansas...

Mayor Dave Bronson says he wants to relocate unhoused people to warmer climates or where they have family. People experiencing homelessness in Anchorage, Alaska, may be sent to Los Angeles and other U.S. cities with warmer climates this winter amid a shortage of shelters. Jul 28, 2023

----------

Alaska can send the homeless people to Arkansas where the climate is better.

Arkansas needs to build schools and housing big time. And existing schools can be expanded, etc.

And for the homeless people then they will need psychiatric services, and mental health services, and N/A and A/A, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

The things listed in the Aust/California climate change-green dreaming deal are harmless enough, and could have many benefits.
Hope they don't have any bright ideas about mandating only electric vehicles can be sold in Australia after 2030, 2035, or in their lifetimes.

It is good for us to be working together as a team on worthwhile projects such as creating a cleaner environment. And California has a lot of good schools and good scientists, and we are training the next generation for STEM careers, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. It is good that we are working together in good ways.

California and Australia can work work together on many things, including Fashion, Music, Television, Film, Medicine, etc, etc, etc, and on Defense, etc.

And it is always good when we work together peacefully for the benefit of all of humanity. Peaceful teamwork is always a good thing if our intentions are good.

By the way, we are working with Japan to develop Hydrogen powered cars and trucks, etc. The Mayor of my hometown, Mayor R. Rex Parris went to Japan to advance teamwork on Hydrogen power. My hometown built the Space Shuttles, so we have a lot of geniuses in my hometown, and they build a lot of secret planes and satellites, etc. We can work with Australia too, Mayor R. Rex Parris needs to show the same good will and brotherly love towards Australia that he is giving to Japan.

And we need to build schools and libraries everywhere, and we need scientists and laboratories everywhere.

Salute,

Tony V.

My hometown built the Space Shuttles, and many secret planes and satellites, and so much history was made in the Antelope Valley, the Sound Barrier was broken by Chuck Yeager in the Antelope Valley, etc. There was so much in my youth to spark my imagination, plus we were close to Hollywood, and Disneyland, etc.

Our youth should be the doctors, and scientists, and teachers, and leaders of the future.

But, instead we had a fucking asshole mayor of Lancaster for a while, Henry Hearns, and he was a preacher at a Black church in Los Angeles, and he brought all of the poor Black people to the Antelope Valley from Compton, and from Watts, and from South Central Los Angeles, etc. So, now the Antelope Valley has gangs, and drugs, and crime, and they call it a ghetto now, it is sad. We built the Space Shuttles before Henry Hearns started bringing all of the scumbags from Los Angeles to the Antelope Valley.

We should have been building schools, and raising scientists and leaders.

There is nothing cool about gangs, drugs, and prison, which is what they tried to turn my hometown into. But, Space Shuttles are great, and secret planes, and satellites, and science is fun. They could build a medical school and they can search for a cure for Cancer, etc, that would be great. Science, technology, etc, is great. We do NOT need the gangs and drugs and crime and prisons.

Enough is enough, we need to stop turning the desert into a ghetto, and we need to build schools and raise scientists and leaders instead.

I am not racist against the Black people, but they need to realize that education is the way to improve their lives and not drugs and gangs and crime.

Inglewood has new stadiums, etc, and lots of new stuff has been built in Inglewood and in Compton, so the Black areas are going to become more affluent. Gentrification is happening, but at the same time people have more honest opportunities.

Drugs, crime, prison, gangs, etc, it is all BULLSHIT. We need to train scientists and doctors, etc, instead.

Salute,

Tony V.

Australia is roughly the size of the contiguous United States (aka the lower 48), but has only 1/12 the population.  A small fraction of the outback would easily provide the affordable solar and wind (with peak use storage systems) everyone needs.  And the jumbucks and swagmen would enjoy the shade provided by solar panels.  The kookaburra is laughing at all you stodgy dinosaurs.
