Native Hawaiians are a totally different ethnic group than mainland native Americans, native Hawaiians are 20% of Hawaii
Native Hawaii was its own country before the US invaded it illegally and disposed the rightful Hawaiian Queen and forced it to become the 50th state for greedy imperialist reasons. And as far as "mainland native americans".. Natives, or indigenous, we are not Native "americans" Because our lands have been ours for thousands of years. There was no 'america' until the Europeans came and said so.
Polynesians
And Native Americans are also very complicated and diverse. Especially in languages.
The name Springfield is so common that The Simpsons made it the home town name as a joke.
35 states have a Springfield represented
the Springfield deal Is a Simpsons reference - the joke being that they're from Springfield - a city that occurs in at least half of the states, and they have regularly made a game of guessing which one it might be
I mean, except the actual springfield is Oregon. Given that Groening is from Oregon. Many of the character names are based on people or places of Oregon, too (like Rev. Lovejoy is based on Lovejoy street). Anyone who has any questions about it being in Oregon just needs to look at the nuclear plant that Homer works at, which is clearly based on the Trojan nuclear power plant.
@@Murderbits cool, yet the actual reality is although that may be the real inspiration, he has gone out of his way over the decades to continuously make it an actual question in the show. Not speculation as you're doing, but many actual scenes in the show over the many many seasons. ALL of which question which Springfield is theirs... ergo it IS NOT Oregon officially in the show.
The producer of Simpson Matt Scully, is from Springfield, Massachusetts. They both are on record saying the name represent Any town, USA @@Murderbits
Millie's right: the English literacy rates are directly correlated with immigration from non-English speaking countries.
To a point. There are many schools in urban areas where native born citizens cannot read, write or do math.
You can very easily live your entire day in a Spanish bubble in the states with the lowest scores. And if you don't leave some counties, cities, and neighborhoods, we can add several other language bubbles, Chinese, Vietnamese, Hmung, Talalog, Hindi, Pennsylvanian Dutch, Navajo, etc..
Matt Groening grew up in Portland. When he was a kid he used to watch the TV show Father knows best. The show was set in a town called Springfield. Matt believed (in his mind) that was the same one that was in Oregon. To his dismay it was not, the Simpsons would be. Knowing there are multiple Springfields around the country he just answers yes to each location. That way everyone can feel special.
1) You have probably heard the simplistic "conventional wisdom" that more crime comes from American cities than the countryside. (It would be more accurate to say that only from some of the poor urban neighborhoods.) But the map at 3:42 indicates that the safest states can be predominantly urban (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey), predominantly rural (Vermont, Maine, Idaho, Wyoming), and a mixture of both (New Hampshire, Virginia). Meanwhile, all the least safe states are predominantly rural. Not surprisingly, it's more complicated. One factor is the taboo subject of firearms. I live in New England, where the ownership rate is relatively low, and so is the passion for owning them. Except for a few relatives, I have no idea whether the people in my life own any, because we just don't talk about it. Fittingly, the admonition against discussing politics and religion includes this subject.
2) It's confusing to hear that Hawaii has very few Native Americans. The federal government currently does not legally recognize Native Hawaiians as "Native Americans," although there are political efforts to change this. If we do consider the indigenous people of Hawaii, who came from Polynesia, to be Native Americans, then Hawaii would have the highest or second-highest population by percentage. According to Wikipedia, about 10% of Hawaiians claim full Native Hawaiian ancestry and another 25% partial.
3) For the original 13 states, their ranking was determined by the date they ratified the U.S. Constitution, not when they were established as colonies.
4) At 17:18, there is a definite correlation between high homicide rates and rates of severe poverty.
5) At 18:52, the narrator asks, "what is happening with Mississippi?" I've never been there, but I know that it ranks last or nearly last in poverty, healthcare, education, and other metrics.
6) At 20:26, there is more spending, not less, in these snowy states with the best credit ratings. The explanations are political, so I'll skip them.
There are only 1.7 homicides per 100k people per year in Maine... and they all take place in Cabot Cove.
That was a joke most people will miss 😂
I laughed too hard at this.
Love me some Murder She Wrote.
I used to watch it with my grandparents when I was growing up.
But it wasn't just murders in Maine because it didn't matter where Jessica Fletcher went, someone was going to be killed.
I get it. 🤣 I'm an 80s kid and used to watch Murder She Wrote with my grandmother. I always loved mystery TV shows since then. ☺️ But, by far, MacGyver was my favorite TV series as a kid. I loved how he use unconventional techniques to get things done. ☺️
😂😂😂😂
I've only been to San Antonio once back in the late 1980s, but the river walk there was absolutely stunning and our hotels were located along side of the river as well. I would certainly recommend based upon my experience.
yeah, in the 80s, not so much now days lol
I've learned Minnesota is a great place to live if you can handle the weather.
So far has been great winter, no snow and it has been in the 50s in January. Climate change is for real.
@@shawnanderson6313It's not the first time winter has been mild like this. It was very similar to this in 1899 and in 2004.
So twice in the last 120 years! @@redshed2020
A lot of people work in higher income states, save for retirement and then take their saving to a cheaper state when they retire.
Yeah, we "cheaper states" don't often particularly like it when they come here. They often come here complaining about how it's different than where they came from. "Let's go live where life is better and less expensive and try to change it into where we left "
Springfield is a Simpsons reference. The big question in the show is where is Springfield? The show producers chose it because it was a common city name. As you can see on the map, this country has a lot of towns named Springfield.
New Mexico is so dangerous because of the high number of chupacabra that roam the state.
My first comment. I’m from Minnesota and you are very welcome here. We have a lot to offer. It can get cold and snowy, this year it has been really warm . Come in the late spring or early fall.
I would say Life expectancy is lower in a lot of the states shown due to hard manual labor but also environmental conditions like heat and if they're is coal mines of unhealthy chemicals in the air/soil/water supply and also due to diet.
@17:05 "Crimes and murders..." What? The last I knew -murder is a crime!
Some states have no state income tax, ALL states pay federal income tax.
For Texas English literacy, it's almost all people that can read Spanish, Chinese, or Vietnamese.. My parents volunteer at their church helping people fill out English language government forms, the people aren't stupid they just lived in Mexico through school age. Imagine if I told you that now you need to fill out forms in French. I could sort of understand some words, but I don't know French legal terms.
You wouldn’t find Native Americans in Hawaii, because the native peoples of Hawaii are of Polynesian ancestry.
Polynesians settled Hawaii. Probably why they aren't classified as "native".
@@reese8097 They are not indigenous to Hawaii. The Pacific Islanders or kanaka Māoli were the original inhabitants. Hawaii wasn’t annexed by the U.S. until 1898.
German was the second most common language until World War I, when there was a notable backlash.
Hawai'i's housing market is overinflated because ownership is highly concentrated.
The states with high English illiteracy rates have higher percentages of non-English speakers.
There is racial and economic disparity in incarceration rates, which affects southern states more.
Santa Fe, New Mexico was founded by Spanish colonists coming from Mexico.
Springfield is a common place name. Matt Groening, the creator of the Simpsons, comes from Oregon and is generally believed to have borrowed the name from Springfield, Oregon, a city of about 50,000 people which is the primary suburb of Eugene, Oregon's third largest city and the location of the University of Oregon.
Springfield meant the city name, which my state has the largest Springfield by population in the US, which is in Missouri by the way
Southern Minnesota, even around the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, will get some cold weather in winter (sometimes it may be below 0 F. for perhaps a week at a time, especially at night, but then may get above freezing again the next week), but summer can then get quite warm. The farther north you go, the colder temperatures will likely get during winter.
This winter is weird though. I live in Austin and here on February 12, there is literally no snow on the ground! lol
Minnesota is a pretty big state, so things can vary depending on where you are. I'm on the Iron Range & St Louis County is actually bigger than 3 northeastern states. Lots of Scandinavian descendants up here. I'm 50% Finnish on my dad's side (3rd Gen born in US) & my mom always saud she was "a Duke's Mixture" - I'm 25% German (also 3rd Gen in US) & the other 25% is a mix of English, Scotch, Welsh Danish, Irish, etc (some of my grandma's family has been in the US since the Mayflower -10 generations)).
There's more areas with Native Americans as Northeastern Minnesota has multiple Tribal Reservations. There's several Reservations in my region & the map doesn't show any of them. There's many different Tribes/Nations (& subdivisions) within the borders of the US & Canada, along with Central America - the Island Natives are different peoples than mainland native populations. Hawaii had it's own native people before the Europeans took over - they had their own Royalty & society. There's a lot of Asian descendants in the Hawaiian Islands as well. There's multiple island chains included in the US that all had their own people, culture & traditions before they encountered their first European descendants.
The places with higher minimum wage generally have a higher cost of living too. The cost of living varies within a state too. It's much less expensive to live where I do in Northeastern Minnesota than it is in the Twin Cities Metro Area.
18:15 100 million miles
Actually, it’s 100 thousand miles. M is the Roman numeral for 1000.
@@johnscheunemann5630 and they'd be using M for Roman numeral M...why 😂 anyway good talk
Re: German ancestry: I think it's partly because descendants of German immigrants tend to have so many kids, so that they gradually take over. This was certainly the case in Minnesota, in which Scandinavians used to be the largest ethnic group but now Germans have a slight edge (35% to 32%) because the German-Catholic families have so many more kids than Norwegian-Lutherans.
While $7.25 may be the min wage in some states, there's not many people making min. wage. In my area for example, fast food restaurants are starting crew $15.00/hr.
The creator of the Simpson's, Matt Groening, is from Springfield, Oregon.
Also for the incarcerated populations, inmates can be moved to any other prison. It doesn't mean their crime happened in that state.
States with higher snowfall also has the lower car accident rate. Interesting.
I Google it 42 million Americans report Germany ancestry
with a lot of the stats involving rates of whatever, keep in mind the population of the places in question. for instance, California has a "low" homicide rate... however, California has a total population of nearly 40 million... compared to Alabama's paltry 5 million.
Or New Mexico's 2.1 Million..
That is why they do the homicide rate per 100,000 people and not total amounts. You should take a stats class
@@shawnanderson6313 you should probably take an English class, because you didn't understand my point. in actuality, the notion of a whatever rate of x per capita is the most misleading way to describe a situation ever. having 4 crimes per 100k people doesn't mean anything actually, if you don't account for how many people are there. Alabama vs California for instance, Alabama has a est. population of about 5 million. California has an est. population of about 40 million. how many more times does 100k go into 40 million than it does into 5 million? they refuse to use total crime stats because it looks bad. and that is because it is. 1600 violent crimes a year is a horrible number compared to 875, total crimes committed according to the ratios.
Read your comment. You never took stat class. In fact you never graduate college I know this, or your in high school. Thanks for confirming. @@ryan1e
@@shawnanderson6313 your assumption is not my burden to bear. projecting your insecurity and incompetence does me no harm... neither is it my burden to bear. but, it does amuse me. if you cant understand basic math, then statistics is probably beyond your comprehension anyway. good day
Fun Fact: Arizona became not only 48th state & the last state on the mainland on Valentines Day 1912
Working in one state and living in another doesn't work out the way you think. You end up paying taxes in both states.
The thing I was most surprised about was Hawaii not having a big “Native” population. As of 2010 only about 156,000 Hawaiians claimed to be “fully indigenous” while 371,000 Hawaiians claimed to be mixed with both indigenous and either European or Asian. However, of the more than 680,000 Native Hawaiians that live in the United States 55% percent of them live outside of Hawaii in the Continental United States. Outside of Hawaii the biggest populations are in Nevada, California, and Washington.
As for ancestry of Black Americans about most Black Americans have their predominant roots in West Africa (where the majority of the African slavers sold other Africans to Europeans) with about 73.2-82.1% of their DNA being West African. Most Black Americans also have between 16.7-24% European ancestry. Another interesting fact is that they did a study (I believe in 2014 but not sure) and about 4% of all White Americans (mostly White Americans in the South) have some sort of African ancestry meaning that pretty much all Americans have some level of mixed ancestry. As for Hispanics or Latinos (to count in Brazil) it’s an interesting way to look at a “minority group” as they are not a race and therefore can have different ancestry’s, plus “Latinos” are from 20 Latin American countries, meaning people have just grouped predominantly Spanish or Portuguese people together. However of the Latinos in Latin America about 35% of the population are “Mestizo” or “mixed race” people predominantly of Amerindian (indigenous) and European (mostly Spanish and Portuguese) ancestry. 25% are predominantly Europea (again Spanish and Portuguese), mostly in the Cone of South America. This demographic has changed over the past few centuries however due to immigration from Europe (mostly Germans and Italians).
In short we’re all mixed in someway and I wish all my fellow Americans would see our people as unified due to our common heritage (no matter how big or small) instead of the “groupings” many Americans both put themselves and politicians put us in to hate each other for their own game.
Also sorry about how long this got lmao 😂
14:49 if you grew up in Minnesota, the cold temperatures & snow are just a part of the winter - life goes on even if it's -40°F outside. It's pretty rare to have school cancellations for winter weather. If it's snowing hard or in the middle of a blizzard or an ice event at the time the school buses have to leave in the morning, there might be a delayed start or cancellation - but for the most part, the plows are out & the roads are cleared before the school buses head out. I live about 25 miles from the state's coldest air temperature record holder & I remember the day it was -60°F! It was a bit chilly out there, but I am sure someone had shorts on 😂 I know several people who wear shorts year-round regardless of the temperature or weather.
Northeastern Minnesota is actually growing - we have been mentioned in several reports as being a good place to live for the long-term with climate change. We have ample resources, the largest inland fresh water lake is next to us & we have a lot of other lakes & rivers too. We are also on the Laurentian Divide & have the largest midwestern "mountains". It's getting hotter here & this past winter has been weird in terms of weather - we literally have no snow in places when we should have a few feet on the ground & it's been well above our usual temperatures mostly. Still, it's less expensive to live up here than in the Twin Cities Metro Area.
It’s funny that you think California is all movie stars and wealth !
Enough to influence the life expectancy stats, at that! I mean, what percentage of California's enormous population do they think movie stars and millionaires could possibly represent?
There is something charmingly naive, though, about the idea that a handful of drug-abusing celebrities might cause a wealthy state like California to have lower life expectancy rates than our more impoverished states. There's a decoupling of the concepts of wealth and longevity there that I suspect is much easier to maintain if you live someplace where basic health care is treated more as a right than a luxury.
California having one of the lowest rates for people in jail. It makes it look safe, but that’s just because they are letting the criminals free. I never trust charts like this
The upper Midwest in general is a good compromise between cost of living and quality of life, along with fairly moderate politics. Now the weather, not so much, although this winter has been comparatively mild (so far).
Many of these “Maps” are highly misleading. The problem is where the underlying statistical information come from and that it is disassociated from the gathering methods of the data presented.
I live in San Antonio now! And grew up 30 years near Chicago.
The problem with the map at 3:40 is that the crime is measured per capita. Alaska has a smaller population than that of Rhoda Island. So even though they have very little it’s the fact that the population is small which makes it look more dangerous.
18:02 - 100m miles is 100 million miles.
Genetics might play a lot. Hawaii has the highest life expectancy, and it also has the highest percentage of japanese ancestry. Japan has a life expectancy of 84 years.
Also, the homicide rates among young males 18-25 is highest in the large cities. These relatively early deaths lower the overall life expectancy of those states. That has nothing to do with obesity.
14:08 I live 60 miles north of the Twin Ports of Duluth Minnesota & Superior Wisconsin on the tip of Lake Superior. Many people cross the bridges to work or go to school in the neighboring towns/states. They are in the planning phase of replacing one of the two bridges & theres 30,000+ people who travel over the one bridge every day! The Canadian Border isn't very far from my hometown either & it was very common for people in International Falls Minnesota USA to cross the bridge at the US/ Canadian Border & go to Fort Frances in Canada for work, shopping, etc before 9/11. I haven't been up there since the passport requirement started, but I assume there's still people working on the other side of the border now too. Taxes are most likely more difficult if you live & work in a different state/country. I've always lived in my hometown, so I haven't lived close enough to want to cross either border to work daily. There's actually quite a bit of categories that are different between bordering states. Technically, it's illegal to transport someone else's kid across the MN/WI border without a parent in the vehicle - but nobody checks. My mom even took one of my friends with us on a trip to Thunder Bay Ontario in the 1980s - no identification was needed back then (mom did have a note from her dad, but nobody asked & really, anyone could've written it). Drinking age has varied between the two states too.
Looking at average home prices by state is crazy. Even going by county can be massively misleading. You go 10miles from the beach in florida and home prices plummet.
I definitely recommend coming to Minnesota! Summer or early fall are probably going to be the best times to visit if you don't want to deal with extremely cold & snowy winters (this year excluded). I've lived here for my entire 52 years of life & wouldn't want to live anywhere else! Actually, I have lived within 2 miles of my parents (my great grandparents before them) & grandparents houses (they are across the road from each other) my whole life. The experience can vary depending on where you are in the state - the more rural areas aren't as busy & hectic as the big metro areas & most things are less expensive outside the Metro Areas. The Twin Cities Metro Area has a lot of attractions for tourists - our professional sports teams are there & there's lots to do. Our State Fair is the best! I used to work there as a teenager in the late 1980s - so much has changed since then ! There's outdoor activities year-round here. We have over 10,000 lakes (some are water filled abandoned mine pits)- not even counting Lake Superior - waterfalls & lots of rivers. We have State & National Parks & Forests, The Boundary Waters Canoe Area, zoos, theaters, museums, a gazillion campgrounds, ski hills, golf courses, many resorts, various regional tourist attractions, festivals & events. There's even iron ore mining tours up here in my region. Beautiful scenery & lots to do all over the state. Winters are very cold in the northern parts & a little less harsh in the southern parts. Summers are cooler in the north, warmer in the south. Lake Superior affects the surrounding region's weather year-round. In summer, it's usually cooler down by the Lakeshore than it is farther inland because the lake water temperature is very cold since it's a very deep lake - it can be warmer by the lake in winter. The amount of ice on Lake Superior affects the amount of snow Lakeshore communities get in winter (it's only got about 1% ice this year & it rarely freezes completely), just depends on what direction the wind is blowing. The Northeastern region is even more beautiful during the fall when the leaves turn - but it doesn't last long if we have a cold, wet & windy period.
Personally, I think Northeastern Minnesota is the best place to be - it's not crazy hot in summer & because of our cold winters, we don't have insects or snakes that can hurt you & our wildlife generally leaves humans alone if humans leave them alone. In general, it's a pretty safe place to live with much less stress than metro areas have. There are risks everywhere out there in the world - to me, northern Minnesota is not somewhere that I worry about as I go about my day.
We have had more tornados in recent years, but nothing like what destruction the other parts of the US in recent years. Northeastern Minnesota doesn't get earthquakes - but we do have mine blasts that rumble through the ground & you can hear them coming & some will shake things in cabinets, on shelves, etc. I think they can reach 3 on the Richter Scale. I have seen worried posts online about newcomers experiencing their first mine blasts. We are far enough away from the oceans to not have hurricanes. Water spouts & dust devils are more frequent than tornadoes.
You know you’re welcome here! Just come in the right way. We love everyone. But don’t do it the wrong way. You’re going to have a great time and see everything you want or have time to see. You’re British, so it is a little different. English speaking countries have more freedoms, because English Common Law & history. We can hardly tell Canadians from Minnesota folks and Brits & Aussies, but y’all get it. 1.61 km is a Mile in MPH. Police automatically assume you aren’t carrying if you’re a Brit etc. You’re safe.
I’m a bit , no quite astonished, by this guy’s remorseless manipulation . English literacy doesn’t mean illiterate and doesn’t mean you can’t earn a living. Florida has Spanish speakers who live, work and thrive entirely in Spanish!
Why would you move to a country and not learn the native language?
@@redshed2020 some are new immigrants and can be accommodated by our South Florida bilingual society. Typically, the second generation is fully bilingual. That does not mean their parents were English fluent. But, regardless of that; literacy in any particular language anywhere is not an indicator of native intelligence
Hi guys! The states like Mississippi, that came out worse in virtually every metric, have levels of poverty and large minority populations. Because of the crime and lack of a well educated and skilled labor force, businesses don't want to locate there, adding to the lack of opportunity. It's a vicious circle, and a shame. I'm from Louisiana and have spent time in Mississippi and both of these states have a lot to offer. The problem with Louisiana is corruption in the government. It could be one of the richest states, being that it has the largest port in the US, a huge oil and gas industry and extensive petrochemical plants.
I’m surprised that New Jersey ranked among some of the safest states considering New Jersey has a few large gangs spread across the eastern part of the state.
I believe that 100m miles is 100 million miles.
new hampshire has one of the lowest amount of people in jail by that map and is also the safest in the country
2:35=People with a lot of money can turn to drugs...but so can those with very little. California is a large state and more than just Los Angeles (with the stereotypical "rich and famous"). I think a contributor to the longer lifespan may be the nice weather, which promotes fitness and healthier diets.
California has many Spanish speaking people.
5:52 here's the thing, the most recent immigrant trends will dictate what the majority of non-English speaking residents the particular state has at the time. Lots of countries teach children their native language & English - when I was in school, foreign language wasn't mandatory to graduate high school ~ my Finnish penpal had already learned Finnish, English & a few others by the time we started writing to each other at about 10 years old.
Conflicts around the world determines what countries refugees & other immigrants travel here from. Minnesota has a lot of Somalia refugees down in the southern part of the state - Hmong immigrants were coming before them. Scandinavian immigrants made up a lot of the state's population originally, along with Germans. It pretty much depends on where you are in the state. Minnesota is a fairly large state - my county (St Louis County) in the Northeastern part of the state is bigger than 3 Northeastern states! There's a lot of differences between the northern & southern parts of Minnesota - climate/weather, topography, immigration density, etc.
All 4 of my Finnish great grandparents immigrated to Northeastern Minnesota in the early 1900s, so they all spoke Finnish (along with a few of my grandparents' siblings) when they arrived. They also came to already established communities who spoke the same or similar dialects - immigrants needed a sponsor here & many family members & homeland neighbors came to the same place. My grandparents were both born in Minnesota, as were my dad & his sisters - they all spoke Finnish at home. Heck, I still know people who speak Finnish more at home than English. My dad was born in the mid1930s & he had to learn English to start kindergarten at 5 years old. He spent most of his first 5 years at his grandpa's logging camp & in a neighborhood where everyone spoke Finnish. I don't know any Finnish - as a 3rd generation Finnish (1/2 Finn) American, I wasn't taught any growing up.
My German great grandparents & great great grandparents were all dead by the time I was born & I haven't been to their hometown in southeastern Minnesota since my mom's aunt died in the late 1970s (I was born in 72) - my grandpa drove his tractor from Minnesota to central Wisconsin as a young man, so I have been to my mom's Wisconsin hometown many times (lots of Germans in both of those areas).
Prisons are just state run businesses. The per capita numbers are just fluff as headcount can be moved anywhere. Plus, it's cheaper to build a prison where there isn't snow.
What ? Incarceration are based in states. Just because a prison is from Louisiana and the get moved to Oklahoma. That does not mean the incarceration rate belongs to Oklahoma now. There is a correlation between violent care and incarceration rates. Cook count jail is one the largest jails in the US and is built in Chicago where they have lots of snow in the winter.
Minnesota often tops a lot of these kinds of lists, and historically Mississippi is at the bottom. There's even a popular phrase in the South "Thank God for Mississippi" because it makes all the other Southern states look good.
So many of these Maps can be explained with immigration. Of course the most non-native speakers are going to be the ones close to the border
Who on the Earth has never heard of San Antonio??
There are headhunters in Papua New Guinea who know where the Alamo is!!
Many of these maps are misleading because dividing things up by state often ignores the profound differences within each state, especially between cities and smaller towns. For example, the reason Michigan is ranked as one of the most dangerous "states" is mainly because of Detroit's high crime rate, but the Upper Peninsula (almost half the state) has hardly any crime because it's mostly wilderness and small mining towns. Likewise for factors such as literacy: New York State ends up with a very low rate because of New York City's bad schools; but towns in upstate NY have similar literacy rates as other smaller towns in other states.
Just as an example of how these maps are a joke. 3:20 every state uses different metrics of what is considered "safe" or what a violent crime is. Some include self deletion as a violent crime. 3:52 is an another example of those different metrics.
Same with the obesity maps. Yes there are a lot of fat/obese people in the US. But I am considered "over weight" when compared to my height so they would count me as "obese" but ignore the fact that I only have 13% body fat. I struggle to add body fat. Anything below 20% you are doing fairly good. 3-4% is body builder/Mr Olympia skinny, seeing ligaments and all that, 5-9 is Avengers/superhero move shape, you get the idea.
I also made sure to post about crime statistics because usually the whole State is not high in crime, even if it shows #1 State on the map, but rather some of the major cities within that State will be high in crime, while the rural areas will be very peaceful. Statistics can be very deceptive in the hands of the elite to spread propaganda, indeed, especially for political purposes. 🤔 I use to live in rural Virginia, where basically everyone has guns and you'd hear them all go off especially at midnight New Years, but crime is really low there, so the lies of higher gun ownership = higher crime is a lie. It is definitely culture and usually big cities (Richmond, Petersburg) that have the higher crime with gangs killing each other, robbing, etc. So the video should've specified that crime in major cities, not so much going by State alone. Imagine if aliens looked at crime statistics for the world and based every nation on that, then they said all places around the world must be very violent?🤦♂️ That is my point how silly it is to simplistically go by State instead of bringing up big cities.
Also, for obesity, I am 45 years old and never went above 10% body fat. I don't even workout at the gym like a freak. I just have a high metabolism I guess, and I never really focused on eating junk food (fast food) much, except a bit in my teens, but not for long. Also, the food in the US is mainly to blame, imo, they out a lot of junk in the food, especially hormones in milk, meat, etc. I think that effects a lot of people's weight gain. My mother lost a lot of weight when she started eating and drinking organic food items some 15+ years ago, especially after she only bought organic milk. She has lost over 90 lbs. now and she does not workout either.
LA country native here, yes it is as crazy as you could imagine😂
18:25 Road fatalities can depend on how far you have to drive daily, the roadway design, what types of critters are in the area as well as how many people are on the road, road conditions, weather, etc. The distance between towns & emergency services access also contributes.
I used to drive 25 miles each way to work every day - there's a town every 5-10 miles & it's a divided 4 lane highway. I know people who drive 60-100 miles or even farther each way every day.
Then throw in white tailed deer who seem to play the Chicken game with cars, wolves, coyotes, black bears, bobcats, cougars, etc & it can get interesting on the roads! We have moose in the region as well - most head-on car vs moose accidents don't end up well for the people in the car because a moose is tall & top heavy & frequently has huge antlers. When a car takes out the moose's legs, the huge body ends up on the vehicle. We had several moose vs vehicle accidents this last year.
I've had many close calls over the years - I had to stop because there was a deer running in circles in the middle of the highway. A different day a deer almost ran into the side of the car in front of me because there was a wolf chasing it. My extended family members have hit many deer over the years - I haven't yet (knock on wood), but I have run over a bear cub one foggy night. I have also had many drivers spinout in front of me & barely miss me so many times I have lost count.
Because of our extreme winters, we have a lot of roadway surface improvement trials that happen up here. We have plows that use a beet juice brine as a deicer/snow removal aide. The state department of transportation says "it creates a barrier layer on the road so the plows can get the snow off easier" - that's a layer of ice since the brine is applied as a liquid. We also have many curved bridges & hills with curves at the bottom, just because it's not hard enough to drive here in winter. You can always tell when a road project is designed by someone who has never driven in winter conditions! Those curved bridges & hills are where the majority of our accidents happen - even in summer. Our plow drivers know what they are doing & most people are familiar with winter driving - but there's always those people who are just terrible drivers on a dry sunmer day too, so winter driving can be scary. The amounts of distractions in vehicles nowadays doesn't help either!
Even tools that are designed to help lower fatalities from high speeds get those who don't follow the rules. I always have someone who pulls out in front of me/traffic at J-turns (all they do is slow down the guy that's going to cut in front of traffic regardless of the intersection type). I had a huge semi truck almost flip over onto me as I waited for an opening to enter a roundabout. He was rounding the corner too fast & the entire trailer was leaning towards me as he passed & a couple tires were off the ground - the front corner if the trailer was rubbing so hard on the tires that huge chunks if rubber were flying towards me too. Sure, he wasn't coming straight at me at a too high speed, but he still could've squashed my car & severely injured me if I wasn't lucky in that moment.
Just because a state hasnt enacted their own minimum wage does not mean that that is what employers pay. No one pays actual minimum wage.
I wanna say that minimum wage is a horrible metric to go by, considering i've never seen a single place that pays it here in texas from fast food to oil production.
The "minimum wage" one is misleading. I live in North Carolina, where the minimum wage is $7.25, but no company pays that low. An entry level position in a grocery store or Walmart would get you a starting wage of $14-15 an hour.
North Dakota and Minnesota (outside inner city Minneapolis) are really nice places if you get past the cold. North Dakotan myself
Yeah I live in a Minneapolis suburb and wish I didn’t.
Minneapolis and Saint Paul are awesome places to live, but stay in North Dakota.
@@TheTghs1000you should move
Obviously the narrator isn't a NBA fan. The San Antonio Spurs have won 5 Chamionships this Century. Lol
Remember that lower incarceration rates do not necessarily translate to lower crime. Some of the states with lower incarceration rates are low because of policies that are soft on crime. The police may make plenty of arrests, but prosecutors will refuse to take cases through the justice system.
Statistics by States can be deceiving if taken simplistically like in this video you saw. For example, crime stats. The State with highest crime doesn't mean THE WHOLE State is taken into account, but rather some CITIES within that State are high in crime, and that's usually the case. It's the major cities which show most of the crime.
Because more people life there. That is common sense. No one wants to live were you BFE hicks live. Keep hatin tho.
Much of the stats in this video are simplified, generalizations or just plain wrong.
lol @4:15 its just tennessee we have a mix of people here too but yep i have to agree i guess because of chat town and memphis
If you work in another state and live in another state, you will be paying twice the tax!
lol we are fluffy here in tennessee @1:28
Sad that a female that weighs 160 is considered morbidly obese.
Nothing wrong with some fluff.
MINNESOTA IS THE BEST!!!! love that Millie is noticing the benefits of living here. as a Minnesotan, I love living here.
Love you guys! Can’t wait for you guys to come here and see our country!
Sorry, but I need to bail four minutes in. The narrator can't pronounce state names, which may not bode well for the very grim statistics.
I'm looking forward to your next video!
the narrator (not James and Millie) actually said without understanding what a complete knob it would make him look like "I've never heard of San Antonio before"... wow, just wow on all levels.
Thank you, I thought it was just me. A heavily accented computer generated voice mispronouncing common words. Had to bail.
@@russellgtyler8288 erm, dude's Slavic of some sort, or from that region anyways. It's not computer generated.
People with accents can’t have a brain, seriously you just didn’t just comment that.
@@chouseification Actually he is Portuguese.
100 million miles but we have I a lot of driver's add up quickly
They have a lot of food😊
This guy was wrong about Hawaii... there are a TON of descendants of Hawaiian natives. He must have been basing it on registration in tribal rolls.
The same can be said about a lot of the maps he uses. Like the violent crime map. Every state has different metrics to what is considered a violent crime. Alaska has self deletion as a violent crime while most other states do not.
Native Hawaiians are considered Pacific Islanders on the census, not Native Americans
That was very interesting! Thanks!
That's per 100 million miles
Towns or cities called Springfield in each state.
So I lived in South Carolina for 7 years and my parents lived in a Mississippi for awhile and I am not surprised by the road fatalities Stat. People in the south just drive different.
The original American population is mostly where they were forced to the reservations 😢
Interesting that crime rates directly correlate to Income isn't it??
Sorry, the 13 original colonies were sovereign states by virtue of winning independence. Delaware was the first state to ratify the new constitution. It had been a state under the articles of confederation too.
I’m not sure what he’s trying to show - but, German heritage is still 23% as of last census and if I heard him rightly- Indians are not the main immigrants today . It’s various Latino groups I suspect he gave a nod to Indians in aggregate and all Hispanics are broken down - sorry but 68 million Americans speak Spanish not Hindi- no matter how you manipulate numbers.
Immigrants from Central and South America come from several countries and it's entirely possible that no single country beats India. Or, they're not counted due to their legal status.
The whole ancestry thing is weird, because most of us are mixed. I'm 41% English, which is the highest % I got. I wonder if I'd be included in that. 34% Scandinavian, the rest a mix of Scottish, Irish, Welsh and Spanish. Wonder how they're figuring those numbers out.
It is a vast subject to condense into one category! I'm 50% Finnish & I am 3rd generation in the US (hence my last name). My mom's dad is 100% German, so I am 25% & I am 3rd generation on that branch too - my grandma's family has branches that have been here since the Mayflower & there's English, Welsh, Scotch, Irish, Danish, etc on those branches. There's a lot of Scandinavian descendants up here in Northeastern Minnesota, but the Twin Cities & other bigger cities in the southern half of the state have lots of newer immigrants who are Somali, Hmong, etc. Recent decades have brought a completely different genealogical mix into Minnesota's population.
* You might want to look this up but I have read there are more Native Americans now than at any point in history. There just were not that many in the US in history. You can see this by looking at the state of Alaska in the graph. Alaska has fewer Native Americans than any other population of Native Americans in the US but the graph shows them dominating the state. The map only shows what land they lived on and controlled until Europeans came over and what lands they have been pushed into now. Also, I am not citing people who are part Native American but full Native American. The country was just that sparsely populated.
* On crime, you also have to figure in the laws of the state. The more lenient on crime a state is the fewer adults in jail. For example, in Mississippi, if you shoplift any amount you can go to jail. In California shoplifting has no penalties at the moment and is defacto legal. The governor signed into law that shoplifters can only be prosecuted if part of an organized crime ring that intends to resell the products that they stole. I am not kidding.
* Yes, that was a reference to the ambiguity of "The Simpsons" hometown.
Bbq, correct answer.
100m miles = 100,000,000 miles "Millions"
Michigan stands out and so does Florida I'm Retired and I totally own My home
As a Texan it is disturbing to see Texas so high on the list, but when I see California so low and i know it is a cesspool, it makes me really feel for the good people of that state that their government just apparently just leaves them hanging out to dry. Their leaders are more afraid of offending someone than protecting the innocent. This list of maps is severely flawed and obviously not presented by an American. As the comedian Ron White has said, "Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty and in my state they are putting in an expressway.
On the deaths it how many deaths occur each year, per one hundred miles of roads in the state. Here we have lots of rural roads that only used by half dozen people most of the time so low traffic volume. More telling is the death rate per 10,000 miles traveled.
It's 100 million miles
don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time
i live in a springfield
Can you react to "Interesting maps that will teach you about the USA" by General Knowledge? You'll find Minnesota does very well in a lot more stats than just the ones shown in this video
I got lost a couple of times during this video not quite sure what was being measured or compared. I'm surprised that Oklahoma didnt have more Native Americans than what these numbers showed....
That's not how you say Washington >o
Minnesota is doing good because of all the people of Scandinavian descent. 😉
Navajo is NOT a foreign language 😮 it's NATIVE!!!
I'm sorry, I question this map when it shows Alaska as more dangerous than Illinois. I call BS. I think Alaskans are in more dangerous situations from Moose and Bear's than other people.
I have to think that the stats are inaccurate. Especially the ancestry. Americans are very mixed nationality. Most Caucasians are a mixture of German, Irish, Scottish and English. But Italians, Spanish and Slovak ancestry are common as well.
