Quite a few homeless people do that. As you know many out of state workers come here. Myself included. I live in Florida. Had a regular job before covid-19. Anyway we have 2 or 3 guys who were homeless or borderline homeless sleeping people couches in Hawaii and they're working here for this season. Even tho you save money a philosophy is just sleep outside in Hawaii.. why spend it??? Pay $3/$400 night for a hotel... Why when it's 75/80 degrees in winter and you can sleep outside and pay $50/ month to take a shower at a health club. If I didn't already have a home in Florida I just might go to Hawaii in the winter and kind of live outside

Born and raised Alaska , Hawaii resident for the past 5 years. Both are unique and diverse culturally . As different as they are I find so many similarities living in both .
Part of that is because 99% of all of Hawaii's resources is IMPORTED. Hawaiians need to be made to work the land again and maybe the economy will return to how it was in the 80s and 90s. A large chunk of Oahu is the Dole pineapple and C&H Sugar fields that are no longer used as shipping became too expensive, so SO many acres of land goes unused today... except for the unkept cane spider population.

@@TheGeoScholar The meek shall inherit the earth. "Alaska, having the most volcanos" "That ring of fire is something fierce" I agree to disagree Mr. Beat.

The ring of fire is actually the line of fire, and they build fake power plants on top of the natural electromagnetic energy and call it nuclear, then they charge us for it.

It rises about five miles above the surrounding seabed. half of that difference is below the surface of the sea however.

When you pointed out that 2,600 mile gab between Alaska and Hawaii you should have probably should have mentioned that this gap is the closest Hawaii comes to any point of the USA. Alaska is the Western, Eastern, and Northernmost state while Hawaii is SOUTHERNMOST state.
Hey man love the video! Got a lot of Hawai’i’s history correct and thank you so much for helping show people who’ve probably never seen it before the culture of my beautiful home. However, I would’ve appreciated some correct pronunciations. It’s not hard, especially with the internet, to find how to say things correctly and it would go a long way towards stopping the mocking of the Hawaiian language and culture in American culture that’s been happing since since Hawai'i was discovered. Also, the Constitution signed in 1887 is known as the Bayonet Constitution because King Kalakaua was forced to sign it under literal threat of death by Bayonet. This video also shows a distinct lack of blame on the part of the US government in the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom whose troops were used to storm ‘Iolani Palace and de-throne Queen Lili’uokalani and while president Grover Cleveland recognized the evil deeds that happened to Hawai’i, president McKinley after him was much more in the American imperialism tradition and pressured congress to try and annex Hawai’i, failed in doing so, and eventually just took over Hawai’i from the white business owners who, backed by the US military, has taken it years earlier.

Hey I live in Alaska and I would like to visit Hawai'i. A lot of people I know up here often visit down there when they get the chance. We actually have a lot in common in terms of our history, plus there's an ocean stream right between Hawai'i and Alaska that makes it pretty easy for ships to get down there or up here.
Let’s be honest here, If Alaska qualifies as desirable to live in, it’s for a completely different set of reasons than Hawaii. Reasons like “i needed a mining job” and “I’m running from the law and Montana wasn’t remote enough”

Hawaiian vowels are practically identical to Spanish A - ah E - eh I - ee O - oh U - oo Also the only consonant that is different from English is the “W” It can sound like a W or a V.

So, um, lack of taxes does not mean more money...did you not hear the part where he said they are some of the most expensive places to live in this country? He's not lying...It can cost $4k a month to rent a place...even is it's an apt.
@@bakende1103 of course its gonna cost more. its not even connected to the continental US. other places with very low cost of living and low taxes include Tennessee, Texes and others with no income tax.
It's nice. Most people I know live in dry cabins, so having some extra cash is nice. It's actually a pretty interesting and beneficial policy, the Permanent Fun Dividend. Basically every Alaskan citizen who signs up for it, gets a share of tax money from oil mining. But, we also don't have very much infrastructure in the state, it would probably be cheaper just to give everyone a grand than to put roads out to every village.

Mr. Beat. First off: I love your stuff man. You’re a big reason why I’m working towards an endorsement to teach middle school history.

When my wife and went on our honeymoon to the big island of Hawaii it was quite interesting that one side of the island was classified as a rain forest and the other side a desert. Oh, yeah, and it snows there too!
One thing I've noticed about the 3 to 4 hours of horizon high sunlight you get in the winter months in AK, is that my friends from the south almost immediately get depressed and want to fly back to FL until summer. The winters aren't for the faint of heart, but the Iditarod and the winter activities are worth it.
Really happy I found your channel, I loved social studies and politics in school, but hated doing homework and assignments. Your videos are easily digestible and very entertaining to watch when I’m just playing a video game or just laying down. Thanks for doing this man. It’s very very appreciated.
I just finished my last two states to visit in Sept '21, flying first to the Big Island and Oahu and then up to Anchorage. 6 days in Hawai'i and then 8 in Alaska. Saw as much as we could. My parents met in Alaska and that was always the draw for me to go there, the nostalgia. However, I fell in love with the Big Island. Love the people, the diversity of climate and the lack of being overrun by tourism. Now I need to go back to each and really soak it in...
Thanks Mr. Beat, this was a very good video. I'm an Alaskan resident that was born and raised here and I could tell you've done some good research on my state. The only feedback I have is that I wish you were able to put more coverage on the Alaskan tribes during Russian colonization, as some pretty interesting stuff happened, such as my tribe, the Tlingit tribe being able to fight the Russians out of southeast Alaska for about two years. It was done by the warrior Katlian. It's a pretty major part of our history.
Alaska and Hawaii are known to offer a good lifestyle but Very expensive to afford. Since they're outside the US Mainland everything is pricey and more fees for the goods etc.
Not American but Libya’s flag use to have the most green out any nation in history, seriously it was originally just a plain green flag with nothing else on it. At least until the civil war and overthrew Gaddafi and they added other colors back on the flag and added the Muslim creasent moon.
As someone who lives in the anchorage area, i can say that livingin this city or eagle rives/chugiach is the best and youll be at least within an hour drive of wasilla, one if the fastest growing cities in alaska, girdwood, a nice neighborhood witha ski resort and within 6 hours of anchorage southwards theirs a deer farm, soldotna amd homer, all great vacation destinations
A valuable life lesson. If the United States comes to your island and asks if they can build a navy base, then it is best to tell them you already gave at the office and slam the door. This is right up there with 'never start a land war in Asia'.
Here's an analogy about Disney Princess: AK : FROZEN : : HI : MOANA. Why AK is to FROZEN? Although FROZEN is a Disney animated cartoon that takes place in a fictitious Norwegian kingdom, AK is to FROZEN due to the state's having too much snow.👑
Since I grew up in Juneau Alaska, I can confirm that it does get very warm in the summer. Also I recognized most of those buildings in the downtown sections of Juneau.
Great video for sure Mr. Beat! Here are some honorable mentions. 1.) The Diomede Islands. One is owned by The United States of America while the other one is owned by Russia. They are a short distance from each other if not doing the distance the mainland of Alaska and Russia, 2.) While Hawaii has the Pacific Ocean. Alaska has the Pacific Ocean as well as the Artic Ocean. 3.) Hawaii has the only airport in Honolulu that takes you to the Commonwealth Territory of American Samoa. The only thing I can see both sates having in common is the price to fly into both of them separately. Not the most expensive for America though. Our Commonwealth Territories of American Samoa, Guam, Northern, and/or Mariana Islands top that,
@@iammrbeat You're welcome. When you get to travel to Hawaii, safe travels to you and enjoy. Make sure to get to as many islands as you can. A side the main one with Honolulu. There is so much to see that will be memories for a lifetime.
Hawaii is by far my favorite state I've visited. My wife and I have been twice (Big Island and Maui) and want to go again. Alaska is on my bucket list too. I would love to drive there (from Texas!) but my wife prefers we just fly.
Suggestions for places to compare: Flanders & Wallonia (Belgium) Greece & Turkey Haiti & Dominican Republic Liverpool & Manchester Madrid & Barcelona North Italy & South Italy Quebec & Louisiana (I don’t know could be fun..) West Germany & East Germany
Are you sure that mailing a coconut thing is exclusive to Hawaii? I worked for the post office in AZ and as long as it had postage, we mailed all sorts of weird stuff.
According to a RUclips channel I've seen in the past, Wonder Why, in his video "Winners and Losers, 50 US States," to give people an idea of how big Alaska is, if the state and islands of the state were overlaid on a map of the contiguous 48 States, the furthest Alutian Island, Atu, would be around San Francisco, California and the end of the panhandle would be around Jacksonville, Florida. He also did a section in that same video where the population and size of States would look if they were the same (in other words, for example if the 15th largest state was the 15th most populous state also). What he found was that if that was the case, Rhode Island, for example would take the spot of Hawaii as an island state, and California would "get the raw deal by taking the place of Alaska," Side note, Hyder, Alaska, is a town in Alaska that goes nowhere in Alaska. The only roads in and out come from Canada
One thing: The median household income in Hawai'i only is higher than in Alaska because the average household is much larger, the second highest in the Nation after Utah. Per Capita, Alaska's GDP and annual income are actually higher than Hawai'i's
Mr. Beats "Native Alaskan" is not an ethnic group, it is a term used to refer to people born physically in Alaska. "Alaska Native" is the term for all indigenous people from Alaska which includes many different ethnic groups.

stop nit picking so damn much, jeesh
@@skurinski How is asking for correct pronunciations and proper historical context nit-picking? Imagine if he were talking about American history and pronounced Washington incorrectly and didn’t mention the reason why the Boston Tea Party happened? It would be wrong, or at least inaccurate, and I would hope people would be willing to point it out.

@Melanie , What about Alaska?
THATS MASTER ROSHIS MOVE
As an Alaskan I was so excited to watch this. You never disappoint, my man! Also I love your dad humor
I love Alaska, I hope to move there someday
@@HunterS.129 we're all looking forward to welcoming you. I'm sure you'll love it here
@@sherrifdan8621 I love everything about the state, so beautiful there and there’s plenty of things to do there that I enjoy
I have a question. Does alaska have a good house market? Because NYC is finally pushing me out and looking for better opportunities elsewhere. Taxes are crazy here and not worth the effort anymore.
@@HunterS.129 Remember to go to the Salmon Bake in Seward AK!
It has the best food in all of the Northern Hemisphere!
And go during the summer because that's the only time it's open!
I see Mr Beat has never watched Dragon Ball...
The pronunciation of Kamehameha makes me sad
I brought that up to him when working on the video. The real insult was when he showed footage of GT talking about anime when he was comparing Tokyo and Seoul.
Oahu has an awesome bus system. I have fond memories of bus lines 71 and 52 which brought me from the military base to malls of Honolulu through Kamehameha highway. There are two lines that even run all day, that's even better than what you can find at 'continental' US.
Line 62 and 60 take you to the North Shore via Kamehameha love that route.
Dat's what us old timers call Ben Cayetano's limo.
You should have mentioned the wacky weather of Kauai. One of the wettest places on earth for rain is in the center of the island at the top of the Waimea Canyon. And down to the bottom 20 miles or less away on Barking Sands you see cacti... Near desert conditions . Hawaii is amazing
Kaua’i is by far my favorite of the Hawai’ian Islands.
Oh man Kauai this island is the best
Me: *from Hawai'i (not ethnically Hawaiian, just born and raised) and really wants to go to Alaska one day*
This video: *exists*
Me: *happiness noises*
Yay!
That still makes you a Kama'aina.
i’m born and raised and ethnically hawaiian, but honestly 😭, i wanna go to the mainland
Hey I live in Alaska and I would like to visit Hawai'i. A lot of people I know up here often visit down there when they get the chance. We actually have a lot in common in terms of our history, plus there's an ocean stream right between Hawai'i and Alaska that makes it pretty easy for ships to get down there or up here.
SAME!! actually im more of a local but i'd love to visit alaska!!
2:12 The international date line bends, specifically to accommodate for this, so no, they are technically still on the same day.
Let’s be honest here, If Alaska qualifies as desirable to live in, it’s for a completely different set of reasons than Hawaii. Reasons like “i needed a mining job” and “I’m running from the law and Montana wasn’t remote enough”
@Hunter Vogel not so much when Mrs grizzly doesn't have any more honey lol 🤣
I live in Alaska and it is amazing here. I'm not from here, but I have never been happier, living here is the best thing ever. To each their own dude.
@@xanderunderwoods3363 I used to live in Alaska for too (no, my family isn't in the military). I wasn't originally from there and the experience was honestly amazing. There's so much to do there
@@radioraheem9820 Hi there, that's awesome :) Yeah I don't know why everyone in the lower 48 seems to think I live in an igloo lol despite the fact that I live in a beautiful city by the ocean. I agree, Alaska is simply amazing. Cheers bro.
@Hunter Vogel Unless you live in Anchorage it’s basically Fake Alaska because it’s just a depressing American city with lots of weed and homeless people
I had a teacher like you in school. He worked for the state governor for a short time so he was passionate but a little jaded. He made me love american politics and history like you make me love it. And the way you bring other educators in is just great.
I hope these videos never stop man. Thanks for getting me into Newsvoice.
Hawaiian vowels are practically identical to Spanish
A - ah
E - eh
I - ee
O - oh
U - oo
Also the only consonant that is different from English is the “W”
It can sound like a W or a V. (It depends on the local norms, but you can pronounce it either way and people will understand

when you said Alaskans pay the lowest taxes in the country i immediately packed my bags
lol I figured you'd dig it. Watch out, though. You know what happened when Harding went up there.
@@iammrbeat i was actually expecting texas to have the lowest taxes.
Look up the crime rate
So, um, lack of taxes does not mean more money...did you not hear the part where he said they are some of the most expensive places to live in this country? He's not lying...It can cost $4k a month to rent a place...even is it's an apt.
@@bakende1103 of course its gonna cost more. its not even connected to the continental US. other places with very low cost of living and low taxes include Tennessee, Texes and others with no income tax.
I want a video about this election, Mr. Beat
PLEASE ^^
Of course
@@iammrbeat yay
Can you make a video about the 2022 senate elections
14:13 "Welcome to Alaska, here's a thousand (and a bit) dollars!"
It's nice. Most people I know live in dry cabins, so having some extra cash is nice. It's actually a pretty interesting and beneficial policy, the Permanent Fun Dividend. Basically every Alaskan citizen who signs up for it, gets a share of tax money from oil mining. But, we also don't have very much infrastructure in the state, it would probably be cheaper just to give everyone a grand than to put roads out to every village.
0:44 I'm sorry what? HonoHULU? Did you not see that first L?
It's funny how Minnesota is so cold, that Alaska is compared to it....🤣
Yeah lol Alaska still colder but still tho Minnesota is probably the coldest in the lower 48!
@@thefisher612 Alaska is also colder for longer too, its been close to a -20f average in my town for most of the month and we are not even at the cold part of winter :(

You again
Hi Mr.Beat, Here are some compared episodes that would be interesting to see
Virginia vs West Virginia
Russia vs Ukraine
Russia vs Belarus
Germany vs Austria
Australia vs New Zealand
Sudan vs South Sudan
Maine vs Massachusetts
Thank you for taking the time to read this (if you actually do), and I hope you would do them some day.
Edit: here are some more that would be nice to see
USA vs Canada
Brazil vs Argentina
Pakistan vs Bangladesh
Pakistan vs India
North Korea vs South Korea
Great list, but I am thinking about comparing Virginia to Maryland and Massachusetts to Connecticut
@@iammrbeat oh ok. That would still be nice to see. I’m excited for whatever you post.
@@iammrbeat Other suggestion:
Bhutan vs Nepal
Amazonas vs Pará (the two bigger states in the North of Brazil, in case you want to make other countries states more, I'd also recommend Santa Cruz vs La Paz, now with the Bolivian elections and all)
Romania vs Hungary
One with any of the Maritimes provinces of Canada would be nice too
Also one with two Central American Countries would be nice aswell
This one was a great video, thanks and keep up the good work.
@@RenegadeShepard69 that is an interesting list
@@ssmmmfeaa8657 yea thanks, yours is pretty cool too.
Mr. Beat. First off: I love your stuff man. You’re a big reason why I’m working towards an endorsement to teach middle school history.
Second off I would love if you did a “explain the cabinet” series. It just came up as I’m having a hard time describing the differences between the Treasury and Commerce and just thought it would be a cool topic.
Fun fact: Did you know the square miles of Anchorage is larger than the entire state of Rhode Island? Pretty Crazy!
@proud american Hell yeah!
The two most beautiful states imo
Mos def
No California is the most beautiful, then Utah, then Oregon, Arizona, and then Hawaii and Alaska.
@@stevenmilliman412 I definitely think those states are top notch and CA is top 3. But for me HI is just very unique and Alaska 100% has the most grand/spectacular scenery in the US hands down.
@proud american I mean Yosemite is pretty nice. But overall the other two are better.
@@stevenmilliman412 What about Michigan and Montana
When my wife and went on our honeymoon to the big island of Hawaii it was quite interesting that one side of the island was classified as a rain forest and the other side a desert. Oh, yeah, and it snows there too!
Your president videos, and your educational videos such this one rock. I hope you, and your loved ones had a decent Thanksgiving.
Thank you. :)
@@iammrbeat 🙂😉👌👍
Alaska and Russia are actually 2.4 miles apart. Big Diomede and Little Diomede.
Yeah I meant mainland. Those islands are fun, too. Tomorrow and Yesterday islands!
One thing I've noticed about the 3 to 4 hours of horizon high sunlight you get in the winter months in AK, is that my friends from the south almost immediately get depressed and want to fly back to FL until summer. The winters aren't for the faint of heart, but the Iditarod and the winter activities are worth it.
My personal most awaited episode yet
Yay
Mr. Beat, this was my favorite of your compared videos! The graphics were brilliant.
Thanks!
I love how most of the Hawaii landscape pics and shots are mostly from the Big Island and Oahu, with some sprinkles of Maui
Resident living on Maui here! This video was really good! (Except for some pronunciations) this video was really well done! Mahalo! 🤙🏽
Really happy I found your channel, I loved social studies and politics in school, but hated doing homework and assignments. Your videos are easily digestible and very entertaining to watch when I’m just playing a video game or just laying down. Thanks for doing this man. It’s very very appreciated.
Wow, I always learn so much with these videos. Thank you very much!
I appreciate the kind words!
I just finished my last two states to visit in Sept '21, flying first to the Big Island and Oahu and then up to Anchorage. 6 days in Hawai'i and then 8 in Alaska. Saw as much as we could. My parents met in Alaska and that was always the draw for me to go there, the nostalgia. However, I fell in love with the Big Island. Love the people, the diversity of climate and the lack of being overrun by tourism. Now I need to go back to each and really soak it in...
Presidential elections in American history 2020 please
He waited until after the electors voted last time
It’ll be out next year, the election is still kinda going on right now.
Thanks Mr. Beat, this was a very good video. I'm an Alaskan resident that was born and raised here and I could tell you've done some good research on my state. The only feedback I have is that I wish you were able to put more coverage on the Alaskan tribes during Russian colonization, as some pretty interesting stuff happened, such as my tribe, the Tlingit tribe being able to fight the Russians out of southeast Alaska for about two years. It was done by the warrior Katlian. It's a pretty major part of our history.
Russia is thousands of miles from Alaska, so the storyline is the same most anywhere, it's got a huge leak.
Alaska and Hawaii are known to offer a good lifestyle but Very expensive to afford. Since they're outside the US Mainland everything is pricey and more fees for the goods etc.
Yay! I love this series!
Awesome! :D
This is what we've been waiting for
Hope it was worth the wait!
Alaska's flag easily has the most blue in it.
How about Nevada
@@cowboyjonathan3676 That would be a close second.
Not American but Libya’s flag use to have the most green out any nation in history, seriously it was originally just a plain green flag with nothing else on it. At least until the civil war and overthrew Gaddafi and they added other colors back on the flag and added the Muslim creasent moon.
@@brandonlyon730 I remember that flag. It's a shame they got rid of it.
Looks like indiana's flag honestly
As someone who lives in the anchorage area, i can say that livingin this city or eagle rives/chugiach is the best and youll be at least within an hour drive of wasilla, one if the fastest growing cities in alaska, girdwood, a nice neighborhood witha ski resort and within 6 hours of anchorage southwards theirs a deer farm, soldotna amd homer, all great vacation destinations
Great video! You should compare USA vs Canada
hello, mr beat! hope you are having a nice day! :)
You too!
A valuable life lesson. If the United States comes to your island and asks if they can build a navy base, then it is best to tell them you already gave at the office and slam the door. This is right up there with 'never start a land war in Asia'.
I love you Mr. Beat!!! Keep doing whatever your doing ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
Here's an analogy about Disney Princess: AK : FROZEN : : HI : MOANA. Why AK is to FROZEN? Although FROZEN is a Disney animated cartoon that takes place in a fictitious Norwegian kingdom, AK is to FROZEN due to the state's having too much snow.👑
Since I grew up in Juneau Alaska, I can confirm that it does get very warm in the summer. Also I recognized most of those buildings in the downtown sections of Juneau.
I am part Hawaiian, born in Hawaii. I lived in Fairbanks in the 80s. I love both states lol.
Great video for sure Mr. Beat! Here are some honorable mentions.
1.) The Diomede Islands. One is owned by The United States of America while the other one is owned by Russia. They are a short distance from each other if not doing the distance the mainland of Alaska and Russia,
2.) While Hawaii has the Pacific Ocean. Alaska has the Pacific Ocean as well as the Artic Ocean.
3.) Hawaii has the only airport in Honolulu that takes you to the Commonwealth Territory of American Samoa.
The only thing I can see both sates having in common is the price to fly into both of them separately. Not the most expensive for America though. Our Commonwealth Territories of American Samoa, Guam, Northern, and/or Mariana Islands top that,
Great suggestions! And thank you. :D
@@iammrbeat You're welcome. When you get to travel to Hawaii, safe travels to you and enjoy. Make sure to get to as many islands as you can. A side the main one with Honolulu. There is so much to see that will be memories for a lifetime.
Hawaii also has Zippy’s.

4:05 pet peeve: Thats Tahitian dance and clothing not Hawaiian
Hawaii is by far my favorite state I've visited. My wife and I have been twice (Big Island and Maui) and want to go again.
Alaska is on my bucket list too. I would love to drive there (from Texas!) but my wife prefers we just fly.
If you ever drive from Texas, give yourself at least a month off if you can get it to do so. :)

Are you sure that mailing a coconut thing is exclusive to Hawaii? I worked for the post office in AZ and as long as it had postage, we mailed all sorts of weird stuff.
Mr. Beat, your videos are great.
According to a RUclips channel I've seen in the past, Wonder Why, in his video "Winners and Losers, 50 US States," to give people an idea of how big Alaska is, if the state and islands of the state were overlaid on a map of the contiguous 48 States, the furthest Alutian Island, Atu, would be around San Francisco, California and the end of the panhandle would be around Jacksonville, Florida. He also did a section in that same video where the population and size of States would look if they were the same (in other words, for example if the 15th largest state was the 15th most populous state also). What he found was that if that was the case, Rhode Island, for example would take the spot of Hawaii as an island state, and California would "get the raw deal by taking the place of Alaska,"
Side note, Hyder, Alaska, is a town in Alaska that goes nowhere in Alaska. The only roads in and out come from Canada
Thanks for sharing all that. Fascinating stuff, especially about the San Francisco to Jacksonville distance of Alaska.
@@iammrbeat ruclips.net/video/YJ6MglxlKo8/видео.html here is the aforementioned video. It's a bit out date in some ways, being from 2014, but still :)
One thing: The median household income in Hawai'i only is higher than in Alaska because the average household is much larger, the second highest in the Nation after Utah.
Per Capita, Alaska's GDP and annual income are actually higher than Hawai'i's
I appreciate your critical thinking.
@@iammrbeat Really nice video. You provide content that cannot be found elesewhere in its form, for example the presidential races. Appreciate that!
Damn I like Alaska better because of Attu got invaded by Empire of Japan during ww2 and Russian and USA during Cold War.
Are you going to make an election of 2020 video in the future because I loved that series you used to do with elections
Yes
@@iammrbeat thx so much
Mr. Beats "Native Alaskan" is not an ethnic group, it is a term used to refer to people born physically in Alaska. "Alaska Native" is the term for all indigenous people from Alaska which includes many different ethnic groups.
