Why 80% of Americans Live East of This Line

When I took a cruise to Juneau Alaska, they told me there are is no land access to the state's capital.

There are three ways into Juneau: by water, by air and by birth canal.

yup was told the same thing when I visited there in 2019

Call me a linguistic pedant.

"Any" meridian could be - since I get to choose it - 179W. I'll bet you do not live West of that Meridian.

Unless your argument is that anything, including, say, Grand Manan Island (44.7N,66.8W) is still "west" of the 179W meridian.

I think that is the argument. If you find yourself on the 179W meridian, travel due north to lat. 45; then head west (roughly towards Sakhalin Island). Keep going west and you will hit Grand Manan.

Silly? Maybe. Ask @Haborix

To stop being obtuse (and/or silly), that is what I meant. I really only expected to elicit boos, not analysis.
