    This is what happens when you put conservatives in office. If you go to a red city most of time law and order is turned on, no graffiti, no trash & needles everywhere, no homeless zombies walking around, affordable housing, great opportunity, low taxes, a well armed society, sense of community, faith/family, great schools, low crimes rates and most importantly kindness. No dark cloud looming over the city.

    • @brekedekdang39
      @brekedekdang39 Год назад +25

      The more rural parts of America are generally more conservative. Even in states that are blue, you can see from the election map, that all the blue states' Democratic votes come from the areas with high population density, and red votes come from the areas with lower population density. I think the mindset of people changes based on their surroundings.
      I am willing to bet that there are some homeless and poor people in that area, it's just that maybe you can't see them.
      Plus, the main reason why it probably won't become a highly urban area is because city folk won't want to live there. People tend to flock to areas where the weather is good, that is why they choose Southern California. So having cold winters can have a "herd thinning" effect. When I look at Cheyenne in this video (I have never been there, mind you), it looks like small town America to me. I have lived in Chicago, San Diego, Los Angeles, Austin and Honolulu. I love being in a big city for the cultural diversity. I am a Democrat, and would not want to live in a small town; not because I don't like Republicans (I don't) but because I don't mind the high population density in order to have more people around. Believe it or not, I feel safer in a big city than I do in a small town. Big cities have higher crime rates than small towns, but we should be looking at the per capita rates. I have lived in big cities for years, and I think someone broke into my car one time, years ago, but never had anyone break into my house, never been robbed at gunpoint, never been attacked by anyone. For the most part, I feel safe in the city.

    I love that in the US you have Wyoming, New York, California, Florida and they are all different. Americans have options. You can choose where you want to live, the state that suits you best. I don't understand why so many Americans hate that America is varied and want it all to be the same. How boring would that be. Each state, or region, is like a different country. Wouldn't it be wiser to celebrate the diversity of culture, travel to each other's regions and enjoy the differences, than argue and fight and try to make everything the same?

At least in the last 10 to 15 years or so. And there is no willingness to compromise anymore.

      The message from nearly all of Nick’s videos is that nearly everyone hates that America is now all the same. The variation has been lost under a ubiquitous lawlessness, drug addiction and homelessness. He’s forever lamenting how ‘clean and tidy’, wholesome and hopeful America used to be. Hence he likes Cheyenne.
      Romanticising the past is self defeating, but maybe we can’t get used to the essential problem and that is over population, felt worse in the big countries - America, China, India.

    My only regret with Wyoming is that I didn't move here sooner. I looked at Cheyenne when we were house hunting, but not seriously since it is so close to Colorado that it inevitably will before long be just like the festering Denver area. So, we found a great home in Gillette and never looked back. We do drive down to Denver once in a while and it is always a relief once we get past Fort Collins heading north on I25 as the insanity of traffic drops off right there, whew. The rest of the drive all the way home in Gillette is trafficless, yee haw. There is plenty to do in Gillette, and Casper and Cheyenne and Sheridan, and no problems or zombies walking the streets drugged up on who knows what these days. Kids can ride their bikes anywhere without a worry of weirdos or nasty people. And like you said Wyoming is kinda like how America was decades ago, peaceful, friendly, lawful, very much drug free, and we do shake hands here, and haven't met a nasty or bad person yet, my kind of place.

    Good video. We moved to Wyoming right before I turned 18 in June of 1991. We moved to Shoshoni. My dad was supposed to be starting a job at some plant in the area. I went to work at a steak house that was opening. Supposed to be a waitress, the cook had a heart attack the first day of opening in the middle of the day. I got moved to the kitchen cuz I was the only one who knew how to cook. 😅 Ended up being the head cook for about 3 months. Met some of the nicest people. We were from TX, and met a neighbor who was also from TX waiting on the same job my dad was waiting on. Met some of the nicest people there. Weather was fabulous. Not hot at all compared to TX. Only got up in the 80's. I asked someone at work what the gates were for at the end of town both directions. They told me in the winter it snows so much the gates get closed cuz it's too dangerous to get on the highway. I got home that day and told my parents I'm moving back to TX, yall can hang out and wait for that job if you want, but I'm not trying to get locked in somewhere in that much snow 😂 we moved back home to TX a few weeks later, the job never started. Still was a neat town, and I would like to go back an visit some day. With a dad who worked a lot of nuclear plants and other big steel mills, I was fortunate enough to get to do a lot of traveling over the years.

    If I was 50 years younger and had a lot more money to get a fresh start somewhere, Wyoming would be the perfect place for me. I'm a conservative, vote Republican, love snow, not real fond of most people, independent as Hell and hate authority telling me what I can and cannot do, love nature and the outdoors, like open spaces, and love being left alone to mind my own business. Peace and quiet is paradise to me. I would most likely enjoy Cody more than Cheyenne though because of the nearness to the mountains. I have been to Wyoming once back in the mid-1980's, went to Jackson for a few days and fell in love with the area, never saw such beauty. I understand Jackson has been almost ruined by the rich Dem millionaires trying to take over and bring their progressive crap "change", such a crying shame. Too late for me now, but anyone moving to Wyoming, especially retirees with a good secure retirement income, would be what I consider very fortunate. Like moving back a bit to the good old days we old folks remember.

    Utah only gets about 3-5 tornados per year, while Wyoming gets about 10-14. Most of those 10-14 tornadoes are in the eastern part of the state. This part of Wyoming is on the front range of the Rocky Mountains where the terrain is much flatter.

    • @GTMarmot
      @GTMarmot Год назад

      @@geodude7116 That's an astute point (with regard to population management). I am a fervent antinatalist, and I'm aware I'm in an extreme minority with this, but I believe that informed population self-control is much more effective than the polarisation of viewpoints caused by the culture war, involving gender and new identities, etc. All that's happened with the "new work" approach (i.e. "education" to reduce fertility rates) is that you have had 2 camps emerging: neo-Christian neoconservatives on one, and their opponents on absolutely everything, on the other. The neocons aren't multiplying like rabbits. Yet if you allocate more resources to their opponents, then their opponents would do all the same things as before (i.e. reproduce, travel, etc.) despite their avowed support for gender self-identities and other sociological experiments. It would become just another generational identity thing, similar to flower-power kids vs Gen X. This achieves absolutely nothing. It's time to get straight with people, right down to the very core philosophy of life. You can't treat people like a mere factor of production and then expect to manage them with these devices. It just isn't working. The wars, disease and famine will go on and nobody will trust people like Bill Gates, etc.

    Planning to move to Wyoming one day, because they are probably the best people and have the best place to survive world ending disasters. Including nuclear winter from World War 3.
    Not only would it be great to make a homestead and greenhouse out there, the place would be perfect for large numbers of preppers and survivalists. Forming a community of people who make it a habit to prepare for hard times would probably make that practice the norm in the entire town. Who knows how much other people can learn by becoming resourceful and thoughtful and much less prone to wasting resources? Wyoming is the perfect community for that, because I can definitely see people in Wyoming becoming very survival prone.
