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.

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.

[@cpMetis]

@@SlimyShellos Similar effect has happened in my hometown from the city. 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.

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.

"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.

Texas has no 'state' income taxes, however it does have 'federal income tax. So when you get your paycheck the state of Texas won't touch it but the U.S. Government will.

Northern Minnesota gets so cold on occasion that water will legitimately freeze instantly if you throw it up in the air

[@Mary-ul9vy]

I used to do this with boiling water, if you put food coloring into it it makes frozen rainbows. I live in north central MN

Southern Utah is one of the most gorgeous places I have ever lived. the red rock mountains never cease to amaze me, and it only gets cold enough to generate about an inch of snow for maybe a week out of the year. hope to move back some time

[@markeyboi6545]

When you were talking about income taxes in the beginning of the video, keep in mind some *states* have no income tax, but the bulk of income taxes in the USA is federal income taxes, which you have to pay no matter what state you live in. (You also usually have local income taxes). Edit: You also asked how they would get money then, the answer is increased sales and property taxes.

[@ephennell4ever]

Not correct; I can count on my hands the number of places with a local income tax ... all of them being *very* high-population centers; ie., NYC, SanFran, Chicago, L.A., etc.

[@markeyboi6545]

It is correct, and you must have thousands of hands then, almost every town in America has a local income tax. Stop spreading misinformation ya twat. I live in the suburbs of Ohio and all the towns here have local income tax.

Fahrenheit and Celsius are equal at -40. Yes having grown up in Minnesota I can confirm the temperature does sometimes get to 40 below zero. You can call it Fahrenheit or Celsius it is the same number at -40. Add a blizzardy wind chill and you are down to around -80. But.. that is not common and is actually kind of fun to peek out your window looking at the amazingly frighteningly dangerous environment which has descended upon you. Fun as long as you don't have to go anywhere. A usual winter will have a few days dipping down into the -20 -25 below zero range. Most overnight lows in January are around 5-20 above zero Fahrenheit. ..

Happy to see my state MA made number 3! . If you ever visit the US you definitely have to visit Massachusetts, come visit my town Plymouth while your at it. Also yeah the Vermonters are hiding a-lot there, I have family up there and usually go up there every year(covid) and it is beautiful.

[@redknight6915]

Utah probably has some of the best scenery. Because of all the national and state parks, there is a lot of lands to hike and look at the scenery. Also if you hate the cold go to St. George, if you hate the hot go to logan. Utah could probably be called the state of 4 seasons, I personally have witnessed it raining, snowing, and no clouds in a couple of hours.

[@shygalaxyyt2400]

Yeah and it can get hot but it's a dry hot no humidity and when it snows it can stick around for days or disappear in an hour

[@dorthapis5013]

The fact that I'm watching this video in Minnesota with -40 degree weather outside my window makes this hilariously ironic

[@nicholaskramer7783]

As someone who lives in Minnesota. I promise you, it really is as green as it looks in the summers. And yes, it really does get that cold here in the dead of winter. You get used to it after a few winters. During the winter, we also drive on to our lakes, set up little heated houses, and have weekend stays in them to go ice fishing.

[@spiderdude2099]

17:27 Yep, fun fact: -40 degrees Fahrenheit is the exact same as -40 degrees Celsius. It’s the only point where the two temperatures are the same. Watching your confusion was really funny ngl.
