Buddy of mine and I were chatting on Discord and we ended up having a conversation about this topic.

Namely imagine you just put two people in a room. One from New Jersey and one from LA and observe

What do y’all think? Is it due to the size of the US (geographically)?

Like most things there is a book that looks into this. Take a gander at the Wikipedia if your interested (the author argued that there are 11 'nations' in the US). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Nations
