You are the best!
Hello from across The Pond. Wasn't expecting this, however, I do have a keen knowledge of our riverways. Rivers large enough for ships and tugs have always interested me. Really enjoyed this video. God bless.
The barrier islands don't protect from invasions, but rather help protect the land from rough waves and weather. They absorb a lot of the energy of large waves and storms and the water behind it, between the islands and the true mainland coast, is a lot more calm and safe to travel.
My mom was from Beaufort SC across the street from the ocean, if it weren't for the outer banks waves, hurricanes and such would have destroyed Beaufort long ago.
"The Heartland" is what we call the states along the Mississippi River and its major tributaries. They definitely help in keeping our nation united.
Perhaps you know more about this
You aren't the only ones learning from these videos. Most of us living in the United States have never even considered how much our navigable rivers have allowed us to prosper. So thank you for sharing this video and similar ones as well.
Most of us? You can speak for yourself... I've always known as far back as the 5th grade. Our ne educational system truly is a mess if you never learned this.
Speak for yourself.
@@Meriale46I learned this as well as a young child how important our rivers are.
@Anne B. "Most of us have never considered HOW MUCH our navigable rivers have allowed us to prosper." "HOW MUCH". I'm sure most of us have a general idea about the importance of our rivers. That's a given. However, I challenge you to go out and ask 100 random people how extensive our internal riverine system is. How many total miles? Ask them where you think we stand in comparison to the rest of the world. Ask them to tell you about the barrier islands and how much they add to the total. Ask them to tell you specifically how much they contribute to lowering the cost of consumer goods. I doubt you will find one person who can tell you the numbers mentioned in the video. Therefore I'm not simply speaking for myself. The facts and figures presented in this video are not known by most Americans. There is no need to feel defensive. Who'd expect the average person to know this kind of stuff?
@@sector986 if he's from either coast it's understandable, they call it flyover country but all those corn fields produce mountains of cash.
I am 75. I live 80 miles from the mouth of the Mississippi River in Louisiana. My grandfather used to haul his cotton crop 12 miles to a bayou to be shipped to New Orleans, not by truck but by wagon with mules. Louisiana at one time had a vast system of bayous that were used for transportation.
I grew up on the Mississippi and wouldn't trade it for anything. They used to call us Mississippi River Rats and we wore that label as a badge of pride. 😅
the intracoastal canal allows barge traffic rather than ocean-going ship which can carry substantially more cargo than ocean-going.
I do enjoy the vocabulary in this video. Thanks for reacting
Here is something else about the rivers in the US. They are all fresh water! Also there are several other rivers that drain in to the Mississippi River. So that can be able to bring merchandise closer to its final destination. The rail system here is on a different level. I know in the UK a freight train may have as much as 12 cars on it. The freight train in the US can be very long. Up to 2-3 miles long going at 60 miles per hour. And another train could be less than 5 miles behind it. Some of the railroad’s have two tracks one for each direction. And yes they have cross over track if the volume changes at any time. It is possible to load a rail car in Los Angeles and get it to any where on the East coast in a weeks time. It is easily possible to get a rail car from Los Angeles to Chiago in three days!! The trains run 24/7 here!! Most of the freight trains run east/west or west/east except for both coasts where north/south or south/north. There are some exceptions but not many. Yes most of the heavy freight is trains and boats on the rivers. Plus the extreme large boats in the Great Lakes. From 500ft to up to 1000ft long. The Great Lakes sees a lot of stuff moving between the US and Canada. The problem with the Great Lakes is they will freeze in the winter. So all that stops on the Great Lakes. Steven Sipes
Duluth's port usually only shuts down for a couple months each winter - when the locks close. They close later in Jan, Feb, reopen later in March. I don't remember the dates exactly, but I am on the Iron Range in Northeastern Minnesota & the Duluth news stations report on it every year. Interlake travel starts here before the Salties get through the waterways to the Duluth/Superior port. There's even Viking Cruise ships on the Great Lakes that visit US & Canadian ports.
Trains run 24/7/365 here because of the active Iron Ore/Taconite Mines. The mines transport from the mine pits to the processing plants via trains about once an hour. I can hear trains on about 4 different sets of tracks when there's no leaves on the trees. I have counted freight trains with over a hundred cars - sometimes double deckers - on multiple tracks around my hometown. The freight tracks here run to Canada too, so there's north/south tracks here. No passenger trains anymore - other than the North Shore Scenic Railroad along the shore of Lake Superior in summer.
31 states drain into the Mississippi River. That's crazy to think about considering how much area those 31 states cover. Facts are stranger than fiction.
We Americans take so much for granted. In Illinois we would get our fresh fish from the fine fish in Louisiana. Shipped up the Mississippi and then the Illinois River and dropped at our port. Marketed from a local fish store. Never thought about it being remarkable until now.
Hello from a mountaintop in Buford, Wyoming!!
Hello from Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Peter Zeihan is fun to listen to. He simplifies things into models that are easy to understand and work relatively well. I subscribe to his channel. I don't always agree with everything he says but his perspective is nice to hear.
I mean his future projections in his books aren't exactly accurate but I don't really blame him he's selling books. What he talks about in this video regarding waterways being important to capital generation and political unity is all 100% true. It's not just him that has this analysis either and the analysis predates any modern commentators on it. People who want to counter will want to focus on the Democrat and Republican political divide which seems extreme if you don't know anything about US history but actually isn't that bad and it does not hinder commerce anyway since we're all in agreement that interstate commerce is a good thing and nobody seriously opposes it. As far as his books go he is fundamentally correct about his assessments of other countries capabilities, weaknesses, and motivations for their national security.
Yep. The seaway between the coast and the barrier islands is like a long peaceful river for ships to use compared to the rougher ocean beyond the islands.
Okay…that wasn’t a Michigan car lol. It was a Ferrari
@Jeffrey Dick indeed. I was just saying it isn’t a Michigan car.
@Jeffrey Dick no problem at all. It’s a minor thing
Beesleys, the barrier islands include several islands you know about--the Wright Bros.' Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hill, Merritt Island and Cocoa Beach of Cape Canaveral fame, and Padre Island Nat'l. Seashore in TX. Not only are they good for what was mentioned, but also for mitigating the damage from hurricanes.
In basic terms the rivers are the absolute link in America. Farmers if they sell stuff can easily do that by sending it up or down the river. The specialized sectors handle only one exact thing in that chain like you handle the straw byproduct or you handle the grain itself but don’t handle anything else. This forces specific people to have to do that exact thing in a chain of various steps which creates a relationship between people. There’s also competition for the same job meaning you have to do it so much better than anyone else. This drives cost down but the government can’t interfere due to having a competitive nature. Meaning prices have to stay relatively the same as it might go up a little or down a little but roughly it’s a fixed point. Meaning less cost for everyone.
Happy Mother's Day Millie and everyone 💐 I'm sending ❤ from Georgia 😊
Hello from Texas!
Here in Charleston there are 6 Barrier Islands.
Only The Isle of Palms and Sullivans Island have a bridge connecting 2 Islands..
Every other Island, you must first go back to the mainland to get to the Next Island.
From end to end those Islands cover about 40 miles.
BUT.....
If you want to visit ALL of them, you're going to drive about 250-300 miles..

Great geography plus we take in all the best ideas and the best people. 50% British/Irish myself, been here since Jamestown and Plymouth.
Same here. My ancestor came from Ireland and fought the British in the Revolution.
Basically, one reason why America has lesser passenger rail transport like other countries is because the shipping of freight is so cheap by waterway that the only thing that would pay for the building of advanced rail systems is passenger transport, which is why America chooses roadways and airport travel instead.
I'm not saying that America can't have a better rail transport system, but just that waterway shipping is so much less that it's harder to justify spending what is really needed for the railways to become a major source of shipping of GOODS and TRAVELERS.
Other countries have no choice but to invest at higher cost into railway shipping. As a consequence, they have better public transportation.
I love Peter Zeihan, but I hadn't heard this exact presentation. I learned something new. Very good video, guys!
The U.S. has 140,000 miles of freight track and around 600 freight lines. Freight lines move 1.6 billion tons of freight by rail every year. There is little demand for passenger trains in the U.S. because Americans prefer to drive.
Weird that the video didn't mention the Great Lakes - sure, it took a while to get it all completely connected to the ocean, but Duluth/Superior is the biggest inland port & lots of cargo moves through it.
The World Needs for Young Couples Like Yourselves! Watching your Videos makes me Proud of My Country! Cheers from Pittsburgh ,Pennsylvania. Land of the Liberty Bell
Check out more Peter Ziehan. He’s a geopolitical savant.
I live in America, and I learn more about America than I did in school.
I liked the video ! I learned a lot ! I live a half an hour from one of the Great Lakes , but I didn’t know to what extent the rivers in the country contribute to the economy ! It was very interesting !
shout out from one of the barrier islands!
I love Peter Zeihan!! Massively respect his work and analysis.
River transportation is cheaper and more efficient than any other mode, by a huge margin. The extensive network of tributaries also allows for widespread irrigation, so most of the area between the east coast and the Rockies is available for farming with easy ways to move product to markets all over the world.
Do you work in a related field?
@@Erin-dw9vx Not really, but I do have a bachelors degree in logistics.
@@plots4 Do you have a relevant degree in logistics? It's an incredible thing, it makes me feel amazing, if you don't mind, we can communicate and discuss it
I’ve learnt more on your channel about my own country more than I did In Highschool 😂😂
Every day of your life affords opportunity to learn, not just high school. I have learned practically all I know AFTER school. Don't waste your life. Read and learn every day.
This is a good thing, you need to watch more LOL
It truly is a learning opportunity. I live in the USA and learn new stuff from y'all too. There's always stuff to learn because it's so huge!!
I am a Tennessean I can can say he is right when he says we are known for our Whiskey but our music too. Both are great
yall need to get youtube red so you have no ads. its cheap and youll never look back. its nice watching your history reaction videos because im a huge history buff and its great to actually understand what a normal person understands about history. keep up the great videos. i watch nearly every one. im from Washington state, cheers.
They don't offer the Premium in Jersey CI so we cant even sign up :(
Hi from Washington, I'm in New York, is there anything else you'd like to know about history?
I live where the Missouri meets the Mississippi and the weathers is absolutely insane tornados pop on one side and the rivers somehow part storms and the other side is always sunny
This guys name is Peter Zeihan. He and what he says are super interesting and I’d recommend his books to anyone
If you ever watched the yankee dood it cartoon once, it kinda explains business in layman’s terms. It’s a good introduction to the world of business and investment as well as how American big businesses are supposed to run.
What big words? Forrest Gump could understand this video.
Great video to react to. Thanks.
Contrast this with Thomas Sewall's explanation for why Africa is relatively poor. That geography is like the opposite of the US. Interesting how the shape of coasts and the kinds of rivers make such a big difference.
The waterway system is in action in my backyard. We have a river that exits into the Gulf of Mexico. From a small port just outside my town, crude oil goes out while gasoline comes in. And for agriculture, we export from that port crops like corn, grain, onions, sugar, and most importantly, cotton. These goods then are transported up and down the bay area between the mainland and the barrier islands, South Padre being the island in my area. With the exception of mostly oil, nothing really goes out to sea.
Is your home by the sea LOL, or somewhere near
Subjects you might want to pursue: How water influenced the development of earth. The Eisenhower Road System in America.
I always love your video content. I learn so much!
Hello from northeast Alabama. 😊✌️
Sister, Cousin... How's your day going hahaha 😓.
Excellent video to react to!
😊
good reactin yall, love these types of videos
In studying my genealogy, I have learned that our ancestors used the river systems to travel inland much more than we realized.
That was good. I think Americans would do good to watch these and try to match the rosy outlook posed in these videos. Peace
Peter is a Geopolitical Expert that even instructs the CIA and Pentagon on issues around the world. He is very interesting to listen to and though not always correct he is way more then not.
Louisville Ky is where it is because of the "Falls of the Ohio", because of hard Devonian fossil coral deposits produced a shallow slow rapids that boats couldn't navigate, cargo had to be hauled around. They now have locks installed to get around the coral beds (during low water the coral beds is a cool place to visit). The inter-coastal waterway is amazing, it's like a river just inland from the Sea for pretty much the entire South-east.
You guys are doing a great job keep it up and enjoy your videos
Your usual great job I don’t know how this is possible, but he sad one how complete ignored the other even more unique and vital waterway transport system of the Great Lakes, which even provided deep water transport between the US and Canada.
He does talk about it later. This was an audiobook excerpt from Peter Zeihan. There's a LOT more he talks about.
Good stuff. FYI that's Peter Zeihan a well known geopolitical strategist. He's had several predictions come true years before they happened. Including the Ukraine war for example.
@Atheos B. Sapien (Ubi dubium ibi liberatas)
Out of curiosity, can you provide an example?
@Atheos B. Sapien (Ubi dubium ibi liberatas)
I literally asked for an example from you (just one!), assuming you were competent enough to provide one. Instead you complain that someone won't just, "take your word for it". Very disingenuous.
As for a prediction by Zeihan that was accurate, he predicted that Russia would invade Ukraine by 2022 all the way back in 2014, eight years prior to it happening. He also predicted that the US would become less and less involved in the protection of the Sea Routes as it has done since the end of WWII. Increasingly we are hearing reports of disrupted shipping, including recently the seizure of an Oil Tanker by Iran, and not for the first time in recent history. The US has elected to do nothing about it, as Zeihan predicted.
And the Fall in your lifetime.
😮
America is amazing and so blessed! ❤
Not with the current administration 👎
This is what the other America Geography is OP videos is based on.
It’s not just having extra bits of land. Those barrier islands also shallow the water around to a potential point of enemy naval ships not really being able to navigate around them and avoid our military defenses.
There’s also kind of reasons why us on the West Coast are a bit different from the rest. First off, the Rockies really are a major travel barrier, or at least they were before the advent of flight. Second, and more importantly, the Pacific territories were emigrated into by large hordes of societal rejects, like the Mormons who settled into Utah, strange adventurous individuals with gold fever who wound up stuffing California like a Christmas goose, and a mass exodus out of Missouri to the Willamette Valley. Those who survived the Oregon Trail had gone through and seen trauma and pain people today only imagine in the US. Attacks from hostile native tribes, terrain dangers like cliff sides and rivers, dangerous disease, wild beast attacks, even each other. Unlike a lot of the country, up here in the Pacific Northwest we’re not exactly the friendliest or most trusting of strangers. We definitely don’t have, in general, that whole welcome in hospitality you might find in Bible Belt states like Alabama or Tennessee. But we don’t really have the reputational rudeness and confrontation that New England can be known for, either. We are generally just a private, reserved sort here, I would say cold more than mean or rude.
Guess it reflects our weather. We have a very similar climate to you guys in Jersey and the UK.
That was really good! I am surprised since you are an architect, you do not do more reactions to skyscrapers and such
The U.S doesn't want Global Domination as much as we don't want to deal with what other countries have had to over recent history. You just need look at what Ukraine, Syria, and Georgia have gone through and are still dealing with in 2 of those countries. Especially after what Japan did to us during wwii and the situation that unfolded in Vietnam. we've been under attack from countries like Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and China in recent years. hat you don't see or hear are the close calls, small skirmishes and attacks on Military personal that goes on monthly. My father, brothers, uncles and Nephews as well as my son were all military men. And believe me if any one of our enemies had the chance to overthrow us they would in a heartbeat. This is why we must stay ahead of the crowd and on top of our game.
We have a European style store in Fairbanks, Alaska. Going on it’s third expansion due to the popularity. Eurostyle, still waiting for the boudoir butter.
Y'all need to binge watch the History Channel's "Sons of Liberty"... Massively impressive in the story is the USA's history.
Surprised me!😮😊
Like the Denver Broncos jumper, Sir Lewis Hamilton is a partial owner of the team now
Their is a great video I don’t think you guys have done a reaction on yet. It’s called how geography made America OP. It’s something like that. But it’s very good.
I believe that they did already. Incidentally that video is largely based on the work of this very same author, Peter Zeihan, of which this video is basically just an audiobook excerpt of his.
Great Suggestion :D We have done this video though and it was very good :D
This was put together by Peter Zeihan. He is very good on the oil markets also. Google him.
Love you guys.
Mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, cooked buttered carrots all go with meatloaf. There are so many meatloaf recipes. It isn't meatloaf to me with bell pepper.
I think you’re reacting to the wrong video.
Unfortunately, it seems like our politicians are trying really hard to make us second rate.
Yes they are! Let's go Brandon FJB!💯
Rivers are super important. Africa does not have big navigable rivers for transportation (or drinking water or industry or to produce electricity). This is the reason why people have to literally carry goods by foot. With a lack of appropriate harbors on the sea and practically non existent roads. Not to mention large amounts of landlocked countries. Very difficult to progress. No water for crops or dams to regulate water availabity.
👍👏
I think I need to watch this video again. Very educational but too much to take in the first time around. I'm sure I will learn more the second viewing.
hows ur new family going ..god bless you
Our government is kind of small but it keeps getting bigger. Let's add a new agency.
Iowa
It's looking like the fall is at hand. I hate to see it.
We realized s that just as our culture is interconnected, so is the world. We all rely on each other for resources. Wars now primarily occur whe one idiot wants to control a bigger piece of the resources, but
In doing that it throws the world off balance. They may cover it up as religious or hate. But it bouls down to one thing. Greed. That greed may be for money or power, but since one gets you the other
Passenger rail will never be practical and they are not coming in.
Please listen to Peter Zeihan videos more often. If you want a good book of his, read "The End of the World is just the Beginning"

Which “big words” are you referring to? They were all normal and understandable.
hi, love the channel I liked when U 2 sat next to each other she seems to be farther away and your to close to the camera.
From Oregon. We're not out of step with the United States.. They're out of step with us.. And Vancouver is indeed awesome.
There was a Cascadia clash which you've reacted to before between Portland and Vancouver yesterday. My friends from up north came down for the game. we just watched this together
It doesn't work that way. Oregon represents a small fraction of the overall US population. Portland is freaking insane and deserves everything it's getting, such as retail stores and restaurants pulling out because they can no longer be profitable due to the crime. I have been there from time to time and seen the homeless tents behind peoples' houses and even under an overpass on the freaking Interstate! The Leftoid dominated policies on the West Coast have led to this. It's why LA and San Francisco have much the same problems, with literal tent cities downtown and poop patrols in San Fran. Disgusting.
Yea? and doesn't half your counties want to become Idaho for some reason.

Peter Zeihan has some great videos . His understanding of international economics and politics makes for some good list
This was an audiobook excerpt from one of Peter Zeihan's books, either The Accidental Superpower or The End of the World is just the Beginning. As to where Zeihan hails from, that is actually Iowa, although he lived in Texas for many years and currently resides in Denver, Colorado somewhere in the mountains. He is a Geopolitical Analyst and founder of Zeihan on Geopolitics. He used to work for Stratfor, the company started by another Geopolitical Analyst, George Friedman.
Have you seen Saving Private Ryan?
🙏🙏🤗🤗❤❤ big like so sweet 🤗🤗
The video is misleading with regard to government size and taxes. Our combined federal, state and city income taxes (where there are state and city income taxes) are onerous and confiscatory. Add to that, sales tax, inheritance tax, gas tax, property tax, etc., etc. the total tax burden rivals anything in Europe. The size of government growth is out of control. It was relatively small before WWII, but no longer. Add to that the growing bureaucracies at the state and local level. And then there are eroding freedoms because of said growth and ever increasing taxes, but that's a discussion for another time.
This low cost shipments of goods...what happens when we force eliminate all fossil fuels and force adopt renewable (wind/solar/batteries) technologies that are not yet up to the task of fueling this vast transportation network?
Woot Woot You Guys Rock
No you rock :D
I don't know if it's still is but for many years United States is the land of milk and honey and land of opportunity.
I didn't hear any big words. 🤔
I would point at a different factor entirely, and that's capitalism. America was the most capitalistic country in the world for all of the 19th and half of the 20th century. Everything else helped, but without capitalism, we'd be no more advanced than Brazil.
I wish you would turn up your audio. Please!
Please everyone.....please...I have great respect for these two. What they do is wonderful. I love watching all their videos. It wasn't my intent to cut them down....nooo..i was only trying to help. I did not say his accent is bad or wrong. I said when he turns away and talks to Millie, then I can't understand what he is saying because of his accent and moving away from the microphone. I apologize to them and everyone if you thought I was being negative. Peace
The idea of the smaller government and lower taxes are what we are battling over in the states right now. Drowned out in falsehoods claiming other reasons that this platform is unfriendly to allow the discussion of, these arguments are what you will hear the most about us in other countries. As he stated, the foundation of our system is small, SMALL government. Get the government out of our way and let us, the US, excel. The most important thing however, is the right to keep what you earn from one's own creation. Invention, modernization and ingenuity all stem from the idea that if one creates a better mouse trap, one owns the right to that creation. This is affected by level of taxes and patents/copyright laws. And none of this is possible without the protections of our first ten amendments (The bill of rights. God given freedoms.) of our constitution that dictate what our government may not do to our people.
You need to watch lord spoda his videos are good , shows the towns that have been in decline and left to rot .
Is in reality America producers more than we'll ever need this is why we sell to the rest of the world but there isn't much that we need from the rest of the world.
Politics likes to mix & match though!
How about The Rise of India?

Sadly we are in just as quick decline.
Fr I loved this video but it just made me insanely depressed to think about how untrue some of the stuff he described has become in the last 15 years. The Midwest has so much potential but the big cities have stripped the soul and value grime theses metro areas. Less value, morals. And most of all corrupt government that seems their main goal is to burn places like Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Detroit to the ground
