A 50 cal bullet is estimated to reach 15,000 feet if fired straight up.
But this is Colorado: in the most extreme scenario, standing atop Mount Elbert, you’re already at ~15,000 feet.
Combine these two — and account for the dramatically reduced air resistance along the bullet’s path starting from high altitidue — you could conceivably get a bullet that high
Some dope standing at high elevation blasting bullets into the sky in Colorado seems as plausible as a meteor
There actually is some coal in New England, and if there was (for some reason) a desire for New England to be energy independent, coal might be part of the mix as a result. This article discusses some less-successful attempts to get into that coal.. and it’s delightful to see the date of its publication.
While there is validity to this logic, the slightly lower labor cost does not offset the need to house more people, particularly when the cost of land and materials is so astronomical
