      Throw in the Kelvin scale and introduce the concept of absolute zero and he might have to reboot. Hehe. Kidding aside, I like that Luka isn't afraid to admit when he doesn't know something, and doesn't get triggered by us joking. ☺

    In Texas you have to pay federal income tax but not an additional state income tax. California you have to pay federal income tax plus a high state income tax.
    In Texas they get their taxes from property taxes, sales taxes, and corporate and other taxes. And you still have to pay federal income tax.
    Also keep in mind on Texas, everywhere indoors is air conditioned. So the two-three months when it’s really hot, you can still stay cool.

Like I remember as a kid when I visited my grandparents in San Antonio, Texas, they loved hanging out with their friends at a place called Leon's Ice House. While AC had been common at that time, the place was still in use and was still a place for older folk to hang out. I remember playing a few arcade games there and my Nana would give me money to pick out a song on the jukebox. Good memories. I think it did eventually close down though.

It isn't that bad, though, even at its worst. You just dress for the weather and you're fine.

Throw in heavy winds -- I live in northwestern Minnesota, on the prairie, and it gets very windy -- and a temp of -10F, which does occur a lot in wintertime, and then yeah, the de facto temperature becomes -25 or worse.

The people who've lived here for generations are being driven into worse and worse housing because the wages are still for tiny town midwest while houses are being made exclusively for wealthy city folk. There's two areas south of the town's traditional core that is just row upon row of empty lots with multistory homes being made with giant yards (for their place in town). The prices are abscene, and the only people it's for are wealthy folks from the city who can drive into the city via the adjacent highway or work remote.
      And it's no mistake that all the city budget has gone to making their roads perfect while the rest of our infasctructure suffers.
      Only the traditionally wealthy families of the area can compete. The big name local attorney, the car chain owner, etc and their kids who get whatever opportunities they want. Local families are ending up forced into deteriorating circumstances just to live here. Kids can't move out at all.
      It was like a different world when I worked the census in that area this year.
      To start the day I had a household of 5 independent adults from locals. 3 had degrees and one a nurse. They all had to be roommates in a barely together old house because they didn't have space to live at home either their parents.
      The I go to this area. Empty lots everywhere with just a utilities box for whenever it's bought.
      I had hoped maybe it would bring some diversity at least.
      But it was the meanest motherfuckers I ever had to work with. Had multiple respondents insult me over stuff like my accent (on the rare occasion it slipped through) or, especially, my car. Half of them treated me like a thief for just being there and I had two people tell at me to "go back" like I was a meth head looking for something to take. How *dare* I be in *their* place. I'm clearly from the lowly locals.
      And holy fucking shit the attitudes people had. Even the some of the ones that didn't have a problem with me would talk about how the need to "fix" the town, not referring to actual infasctructure problems, but with the culture.
      I need to stop before I rant for infinity. That entire experience pissed me off so fucking much and made me lose hope for our town. No fucking wonder locals keep getting economically pushed out of the town and into poverty traps when the people causing it proclaimed themselves as white fucking knights and missionaries to correct those dumb, dumb people who couldn't go to the biggest University in their state without ever having to worry about paying for it.

California is even so putrefied it's thinking of becoming Independent (it's own country or republic). The people in the government are so pure to the earth and above us looking down like angels guiding and protecting us because this is what we want.

    Another Minnesota resident chiming in here. The average winter temp is NoT -40°f. That is rather misleading. When they say that you have to take into account the area of the state they may be referring to, time of day and windchill.
    The average winter temp near Minneapolis/St. Paul is closer to 10-30°f without factoring in windchill. Single digits is cold for us, but we usually get about 7-10 days (no consecutively) each winter with daytime highs ranging from -10° to 5° fahrenheit. After the sun goes down in peak winter it can get below -0° easily, but not in the extreme.
    If you are in the northern part of the state or in the country where its more wide open (away from the major cities) it definitely gets colder. In those instances, away from the Twin Cities, after dark and with windchill...then yes, -40° can certainly happen.
    When temps get that low windchill is typcally a factor and its typically after the sun goes down. That is not the average however. When the extreme cold hits, we dress for it and go out in it as little as possible...we hibernate with books, movies and tv!
    Minnesota is a beautiful state but we on average have 7-10 days every winter that are bitterly cold, and 7-10 days in the summer that are sweltering with tropical humidity and temps between 85°-100°f. We can be a state of extremes when it comes to weather/temperature. As long as you have heating & air conditioning, its completely manageable. I just wouldn't recommend moving here in January or February from a southern climate. 😉
    Trivia, the coldest city in Mn is Embarrass, Minnesota in the northeast part of the state. Their summers are typically shorter and winters longer. The lowest recorded temp in that area was -60°f.

A house that cost 200K 5 years ago now costs $400K. And Californians are racing in--because they were able to bring equity from their CA home to Idaho. CA homes have a much greater cost so they keep that equity when moving here. A native Idahoan can no longer afford to buy a starter home. There is backlash against people moving here as a result. It is still affordable, other than housing. There are many outdoor things to do in summer, but winters are hard.

    "Why do Californians moving there make it expensive?"
    Supply gets eaten by demand, and Californians able to move almost always have way more money than locals. A bad home in Cali can easily be 5x the price of a great home in other states, so people able to sell/rent their Cali homes get a ton of money to spend inland and the market begins to adjust for them.
    This process can *easily* drive locals out of the housing market. This effect already hit the PNW a while ago and is happening to TX now. As work from home is adopted more it will only get worse, with people from wealthier areas being advantaged in getting a job then having the ability to live in less advantaged areas at reduced cost.
    It's a minor effect but compounds over millions of people.

    Ok, I know this has been said often, but I love his reaction to the confluence of the two temperature scales. Luke, -40 is when your eyes freeze shut and your jacket crinkles because it's so cold.

    There is a UA-camr named Shawn in Scotland that does a lot of US reaction and travel videos and he has visited here several times now. He gets packages full of local snacks and sports merchandise from subscribers. I’m sure your subscribers would be happy to send the same type packages to you to share a bit of us with you!

    The sports snobs and gurus in the comments throwing tantrums about a UA-camr doing what he wants with his own channel is so childish that it’s entertaining.
    1. He still has his sports channel
    2. There are plenty of other sports channels you can watch
    3. If you don’t like these videos then don’t watch them. It’s crazy how that works isn’t it.
    4. Life ain’t just about sports.
    The point of youtube is to post content that YOU as a youtuber enjoy, but also to try out new things that help expand your audience.
    So if you’re complaining about a youtuber working hard and getting his money, you most likely need to get a life and do the same.
