Some great quotes in there.

Only people living in big cities think this isn’t still true.
If you so desire, huge portions of land in the country “flyover” USA are yours to be had for very cheap.
Of course it’s difficult to get internet there, so how will the millennials make it?

#9Life tells you what you should do in two ways: what you like to do and what you are good at. Of course liking something and being good at it often go hand in hand.
When you are good at something, it’s fun to keep doing it so you feel better than other people. When you like to do something, you often get good at it.

#10Our Fake History podcast has an excellent series on PT Barnum. He was something of a genius promoter (and self-promoter). Today he's best remember for his circus act, but that was just one of a long line of productions he put on.
In Barnum's parlance, a "humbug" was a practical joke played on his audience. A less charitable interpretation is that of some of Barnum's humbugs are downright fraudulent. It's a fun story.
