I hope that this helps to gain time for longer term solutions. Climate change will make droughts more common, this has been a warning that everybody can learn from and work for a better future.

Latin America has always had democratic aspirations. Interference by the USA government made that impossible. I hope that the USA realizes that having advanced democratic countries at its borders is better than to funnel money to insurgents or drug cartels.

A developed South would make the American continent a match for Asia.

>disband the cartels.

The end of the war against drugs will help with that. Make trade legal and cartels will stop having money to pay for its currently well funded criminals.

Franco, the dictator of Spain, did the same thing to progressives. The regime was stealing children to give it to "good fascist families".

Taken Under Fascism, Spain’s ‘Stolen Babies’ Are Learning the Truth

>all disease comes from some form of bacterial imbalance

We know that not all diseases come from bacterial imbalance. There are, for example, viruses that cause diseases.

But it seems an important topic that it has not yet been used in practical terms. I hope that more studies like this bring tests and treatments.

I also hope that monetary incentives help and not hamper this kind of studies.

>When our bosses at work are older than 60 we start to doubt their performance and judgement, right?

That judgement is called age discrimination. I am for more age diversity in USA presidents, thou.

>Moving to a different country, with a different language, political structure, culture, history etc. cannot be compared with migration within a country.

It is way more similar Sweden to Norway than California to Florida.

> also in a completely different language region.

Not really. The laguage is different but very similar as countries share history and until a hundred years ago any village would have been able to talk to all the villages around it indepdendenly of which country they were in. Language changed gradually from village to village.

Any Spanish speaker can read many words and sentences in French, Italian or Romanian as they share much in common. Swedish and English have a lot in common, Spanish and Portuguese the same, Norwegian and Swedish are extremely similar like Danish (even that nobody really understand the Danish when they speak).

Even culture in the South of Spain is more similar to the one in the North of Africa than to the one in the North of Europe, as there is shared history and both are Mediterranean locations.

In my view, Chinese and French are really completely different. Finnish and Swedish are completely different, even that they are phisically very close (but many Finnish people speaks Swedish because again they live close by).

Countries are administrative regions for legal purposes, but culture is more permeable than that.

You are right that migration between countries means something, I just think that it is misleading in many cases at least in Europe (and probably other parts of the world) as there is a strong shared history.

It is a weird comparison, at least for the European Union and probably for others, as a Norwegian moving to Sweden counts as an immigrant, even that the guy may be moving just a few kilometers. But a Californian moving to Florida is not accounted as migration as that guy stays in the same country. The same happens for other big countries like China or Russia were people travelling thru time zones and cultures ends up in the same country.

So, the map is interesting and correct, but it would add even more information to see kilometers travelled or some other metric that takes distance into account.
