<span>The use of the word "queen" reminds us that women are more likely than men to live in poverty.
The term indicates that the person that more likely to cheat the welfare is a woman rather than a man. The term is also perpetuated by the data which shown that most women that use welfare are living in a household with no men around (single mothers)

Housing, sanitation and storage facilities, and education, communication, and transportation systems are called a country's ____
laila [671]

Housing, sanitation and storage facilities, and education, communication, and transportation systems are called a country's Infrastructure.

Infrastructure is "the generic term for basic physical systems of a business region, or nation," according to Investopedia. They stress the importance of infrastructure systems for a nation's economic growth and prosperity, noting that they "tend to be capital intensive and high cost investments." Public and private physical structures including highways, railroads, bridges, tunnels, water supplies, sewage systems, electrical grids, and telephones are all considered to be part of infrastructure (including Internet connectivity and broadband access). A basic infrastructure in an organization or for a nation comprises things like communication and transportation, sewage, water, a health and education system, safe drinking water, and a monetary system. The extensive network of roadways, linking bridges and tunnels, railways, utilities, and buildings required to maintain everyday life as usual is considered critical infrastructure. These essential systems are necessary for energy, clean water, transportation, and business. Our parks and waste facilities are only a few examples of the infrastructure that makes up our roadways, transit systems, water pipes, and water treatment facilities. The majority of people rarely consider infrastructure unless, of course, it is broken.

How many soldiers fought in the continental army?
inna [77]
There are no reliable figures as to the number of men who served in the Continental Army. The rolls indicate that 231,771 men enlisted, but many were for short duration and reenlistments can be counted twice. Washington had as few as 4000 men at the worst of the winter of Valley Forge and never more than the 26,000 he commanded in November, 1779.
