It both saddens me and doesn't surprise me one bit that the US is so far behind that we don't even have a color.

We are fucking idiots, the lot of us. Ugh...

I mean, some of the wealthiest and most populated regions are coloured 2035, so that's that

Could you clarify how that is relevant to my comment? (Note: I'm not saying it isn't; I'm saying I don't see the connection.)

You said the US is so far behind it doesn't even have a colour.

I noted that the wealthiest and most populated regions do have a colour, indicating 2035. Perhaps I should clarify I meant those regions of the US, like California.

So at least not all of the US is so far behind, maybe that could be any consolidation?

Ah, fair enough. Thank you for explaining.

And this is true. Sadly, though, most of the US seems almost akin to a different country compared to the west coast, culturally speaking.
