    I know this video isn't sponsored by Beard Blaze, but I have to say something about it. I ordered a bottle of Beardruff and sadly it arrived broken. Within 10 minutes of emailing Simon's team, I had a response saying they would ship another bottle. 5 minutes later I had a tracking number.
    The new bottle arrived a few days later with a hand written note that said "shouldn't break this time" and a smiley. The bottle was wrapped in bubble wrap, cotton balls, foam, more bubble wrap. It had both my wife and I cracking up.
    Fantastic customer service and a fantastic product! I'll be purchasing more when I use up this bottle. Thanks Simon!

      That's why I avoid the south. I can't believe a place where up to 40% of the entire population was infested with hookworms until the mid 1900s, because of how ignorant and primitive they actively chose to remain, has a say in modern society. People don't realize how terrible it really is down there, because they have an excellent propaganda machine that passed a population of people wasting away from internal parasites off as charmingly laid back. Hookworm can only be caught by walking barefoot on ground contaminated with infected shit, because they burrow in to your bloodstream through the bottom of your feet. Disgusting and horrifying, right? This is all actually 100% true, you can look it up.

      @@bobs6888 I think in that situation there's an implied contract (not 100% sure that's the correct term) so basically because you heard or saw someone from the church saying you will be blessed If you donate or If they just ask for donations, then by sending them a check after they receive it a contract is formed with the implication that you will pay the amount on the check to them. I'm not sure if they can enforce it if say the check bounced, also even if there is I can't imagine anyone ever bothering to do so. It's bad pr for them, it likely will cost more to go to trial than the donation amount and it's likely simply not worth the time.

    Thanks so much for your videos. My country (USA) is going through some terrifying times right now and it's so easy to become too obsessed by watching news videos (it's also too depressing). You can always be counted on to provide diversion and sometimes help to restore psychic balance.

    Simon/Business Blaze,
    Not only am I excited to see a Blaze about my neck of the woods, but it also involves my line of work.
    To answer your remarks about ‘the people who oversee these things’ in regards to Criminal District Courts. There are 477 criminal district courts in Texas, each of which is presided over by a District Judge. There is an oversight board of three or five judges that can review proceedings, but there is no automatic review.
    Additionally the State Bar of Texas acts a the regulator of attorneys/lawyers. The State Bar can sanction an attorney (practicing judge).
    Really though, in Texas voters choose District Judges. In many cases electing judges can be problematic. In most other cases though, electing district judges can reflect the character/values of the community.
    I am lucky enough to have helped elected a handful of district judges just north of Comal County, in Travis County, Texas.
    Comal County, which includes several small cities sporadically mixes Spanish Colonial History, a large military population, and the ‘Texas German’ influences in a quirky way. It makes perfect sense then that a cowboy who talks to god would be elected District Judge.
