No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Landlocked, as an economic term, often implies a lack of major shipping ports.
This causes higher prices.
For anyone expecting the economic definition (the more useful one) of "land locked", this map doesn't help, because the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River allow massive thriving sea ports for ocean going vessels - in states adjacent to them.
Idaho has the furthest inland port on the west coast at Lewiston, which would make Idaho not landlocked by that definition. The Great Lakes states should also not be considered landlocked then.
Those of us in NZ would like to point out that access to the ocean does not necessarily mean shipping is cheap.
