[@davidellis1374]

👍🙂❤️ I’m American. I’m not sure why, but I get a little offended when you make Canadian jokes. Those are MY neighbors. Only Americans can make Canada jokes. I’ve always thought of Canada as America’s better behaved, little brother. Most Americans LOVE Canadians. America always has and always will be, by their side in any global situation that may occur. Thanks for sharing your videos. 👍🙂❤️

I'm in Louisiana and love it here. We love to eat, and we love to eat good food. The guard he is talking about is the National Guard. Each state has it's own national guard, which is controlled by the governor of that state. So, each states guard can be activated by that governor in case of emergencies. I have many guns. I don't just walk around with em though. They stay locked in the safe unless I'm going hunting or something similar. I do carry a handgun in my truck, all the time. Never know when it may be needed...

[@TheWatchmen001]

On the A/C (air conditioning) , I live in southeast Louisiana. In the summer time, the temp here gets over 100 deg F. With 100% humidity, so the heat index gets to 110 or above on a daily basis. In the winter, the humidity works the opposite way as the summer. The humidity amplifies the feels like temp. It's a deep, bone chilling cold, or a deep bone cooking heat. That's some of the reason we like spicy food, it helps the outside temp to not be so hot or so cold.

The National Guard does belong to each State but the President can nationalize the National Guard in case of an emergency. The Guard is trained to regular military standards, but they also respond to natural disasters and other things.

[@orclev]

It's also important to point out that there's _also_ a federal military that doesn't belong to any specific state, and _crucially_ the federal military is _generally_ barred from operating within the borders of the US, at least in a military capacity (look up the Posse Comitatus Act). They can provide humanitarian aid and in extreme cases be mobilized, but most of the time it's down to each states national guard to respond to anything that's happening within the borders of the US. So the power structure within the US is approximately: police < sheriffs < (various specialty agencies like DHS, FBI, Border Patrol) < national guard < military (with major restrictions) While outside of the US it's: national guard (drafted into military service, national guard are considered a reservist unit for the military) < military

Public transportation will *heavily* depend on the city you're in. Some cities/areas have good public transportation, some have basically none.

[@rtyria]

30 years ago in my city a standard question on job applications was regarding transportation. I was advised by my school to always put down that my parents would be providing, and never put down "metro". Applications with "metro" automatically ended up in the trash. That's how bad public transportation was back then. That doesn't happen now, though I would never call it very convenient. Most lines only run every half hour and many areas don't have evening service at all. The colleges however have fantastic service, even 30 years ago. This is very much a college town.

[@1776SOL]

All 50 states + the District of Columbia, the US Territories of Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, & Guam have semi-independent militias known as the National Guard. National Guards are tasked with many duties specifically for their state, territory, or district. Among the duties are to provide civil defense during times of local unrest or localized threats, disaster preparation, aid, & relief. Each National Guard is technically independent & commanded by a state, territory, or district senior military officer known as an Adjutant General who is with a few exceptions appointed by the Governor. Should a National Guard require additional assistance, a Governor can request support from a neighboring National Guard through their Governor. In cases of a national threats such as war, the National Guards can be nationalized, being removed from the control of a Governor to being controlled by the DOD, Department of Defense aka the Pentagon aka the regular full-time military.

I think one important thing about being multi-lingual that he didn't mention is travel distance. Driving from LA to New york you would never need to read a single sign that wasn't in english, or speak to a person in any other language. That distance is only about 3% shorter than the distance from Lisbon to Moscow. That drive would put you through regions that speak at least 6 languages depending on your route. in most EU countries you're only a couple hours at most from a country that speaks a different language so it's more important to be able to communicate with them. But in the US it is unlikely for most to ever travel farther than a neighboring state.

[@BTinSF]

However, if you detour through Tucson, AZ towards the Mexican border on I-19 (Interstate Highway 19), you will encounter metric signage giving distances in KM and so on.

[@kenyonmoon3272]

The National Guard do not do law enforcement or military action at home, they do emergency response and large crowd events that either involve many jurisdictions or are beyond the scope of local agencies. Say there is a major earthquake, the Gaurd is called up to organize the response, and that emergency declaration allows them to supersede city or county boundaries and assign or re-assign local emergency agencies into other areas than their normal responsibilities. Basically, they can turn all the local agencies into one super-agency with one coordinator and one communication and resource center rather than having a hundred or more agencies all trying to eat each other. The Gaurd are also called in for riots and other major events where crowds are beyond what the local police can handle. That said, a president can commandeer the Gaurd for full military duty in a war, and that does occasionally happen.

If you are looking at putting in air conditioning I suggest instead looking into central air. Central air is a combined system of heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. You set your thermostat low and high and the system does the rest. Just remember tight thermal windows and good insulation are required to keep your power and heating bills low. Up close to the Canadian border we try to have insulation in the walls with an R value of at least 25. 40 in the attic.

3,000 Army and Air National Guard members in Wyoming

[@cp368productions2]

The Army National Guard is the state militia. They have bases in every single state and the Governor has to approve the deployment of any National Guard operations. Their main function is protecting the homeland, including disaster response. The National Guard is mobilized for hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes to rescue victims and recover bodies. They are basically the land version of the US Coast Guard. Many National Guard members are retired Army, Navy, Marine, etc and work a couple days a week in trainings. The most recent deployment in NY was the deployment of the New York National Guard to Buffalo to deal with the snowstorm over the weekend. The New York National Guard has 57 armories, 21 field/support facilities and 3 Army Aviation Support Facilities. Closest facilities to me are Buffalo, Rochester, Jamestown, Lockport, Niagara Falls, Geneseo, and Hornell these vary in size from a building holding vehicles to a decent amount of space for training. These bases which vary from 25 miles away (Geneseo) to 75 miles away (Niagara Falls) have many different divisions. And fall under the 42nd Infantry Division of the US Army National Guard. Headquartered in Latham, NY it makes up the 42nd Infantry Division of the Army National Guard and has equipment stored around the state. There is also the 53rd Troop Command. There is a facility 30 minutes from my house where they have trucks and Humvees parked. Under the 42nd Infantry Division is the Headquarters & Support Companies in Troy, Signal Company on Staten Island, 42nd Army Band in Cortlandt Manor, Intelligence & Sustainment Company in Troy, and Operation Company in Buffalo. This is further divided into the 27th Infantry Brigade Combat Team and Combat Aviation Brigade 42nd Infantry Division. The 27th Infantry is further divided into the 2nd Squadron 101st Cavalry Regiment based in Niagara Falls, Geneva, Jamestown and Buffalo. 1st Battalion 69th Infantry Regiment based in Manhattan, Farmingdale and Cortlandt Manor. 2nd Battalion 108th Infantry Regiment in Utica, Geneseo, Morrisonville, Ogdensburg, Saranac Lake, Gloversville, Leeds, and Ithaca. 1st Battalion 258th Field Artillery Regiment in Queens, New Windsor, and The Bronx. 152nd Brigade Engineer Division in Buffalo, Manhattan, Lockport, Syracuse and Rochester. The Combat Aviation Brigade 42nd Infantry Division maintains a fleet of Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters, they are headquartered in Latham and are divided into the. 3rd Battalion 142nd Aviation Regiment in Ronkonkoma, Latham, and Farmingdale. 1st Battalion General Support 171st Aviation Regiment in Rochester. 642nd Aviation Support Battalion in Rochester, Dunkirk, Olean, Ronkonkoma, and Brooklyn. The 53rd Troop Command is based in Cortlandt Manor and Manhattan but is also divided into the following. 101st Signal Battalion in Yonkers, Peekskill and Orangeburg. 204th Engineer Battalion in Binghamton, Horseheads, Walton, Cortlandt Manor, Kingston, and Buffalo. 501st Ordnance Battalion (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) in Glenville, Queensbury and Fort Drum. 369th Sustainment Brigade in Whitestone, Manhattan, Farmingdale, Staten Island, New Windsor, and Brooklyn. 153rd Troop Command in Buffalo. 102nd Military Police Battalion in Auburn, Buffalo, Latham, Utica, Rochester, and Hornell. 104th Military Police Battalion in Kingston, Brooklyn, Jamaica (Queens), Cortlandt Manor, and Brooklyn.

Every state and some territories have an armed force that is part of the National Guard which is controlled by the chief executive of that jurisdiction (think like the state governor), but can also be federalized when activated by the Federal government. Once federalized, that force is controlled by the Federal government and not the state government. Some states also have their own military apart from the National Guard that cannot be federalized and under the sole control of the state governor. There's also the Armed Forces of the United States which are what you commonly think of when you hear about the United States military: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Space Force.

Each state has what is called (state name) National Guard. They are usually regular working folks who commit to being guardsman for some extra $$$ every year. They go off a few times a year to train together. What they are usually used for is keeping the peace & extra policing after natural disasters, especially after hurricanes when an area has been completely devasted. At that time the governor of the state may have to impose a curfew for public safety reasons. Als I if there are civil disturbances that endanger the public and private property & public buildings. There is also that guardsmen are our backup military, and can be deployed overseas to supplement the US Military when needed. Many Guardsmen were used in Afghanistan & Iraq to relieve regular soldiers to have some leave time back home to be with their families for a death in the family and just to have a break in their deployment.

I don't think you can buy a house in america without an air conditioner lol. Or even an RV

[@trogdortheburninator3621]

When I lived in Vegas theres loads of public transportation but in Mississippi they had one bus that came once a never. It depends on where you are

[@TylerTheBoss]

Yes we would love to see videos of your country🙂 PS your English is amazing, temperature is definitely the word👍🏼 Keep up the great content brother!

That geography one at the beginning is why we want not only to help you learn about us, but also why we want to see a "walk down the road" from you in Portugal. Old crumbly buildings? Bring them on! Mostly what I know about Portugal are Knights Templar and guanciale (y'all can turn a pig into heaven). One of my best friends in college went on to work in Public Health. She's trying to educate people on the dangers of smoking, vaping, even unprotected whoopi (if you get my understanding). There are a lot of people working on the "obesity problem" in the US. I only recently heard of "Ozempic face." That medicine is for diabetes, but helps people lose weight FAST. And that's becoming a problem with people - anyone - who wants to lose weight. Do doctors prescribe it - it will help lose the pounds? And then losing weight that fast makes your skin loose and saggy, leading to "Ozempic Face." So people ARE working on it. Maybe not fast enough?

Yes, of course you should react to videos about Portugal--would be interesting to learn about your country, amd vommented by you, who lives there. Go ahead with this, I'll watch it if you do--And from the same guy who did this video, the 25 differences between USA & Canada--he made it a little bit fun, because we are neighbours & like each other, but we like to poke at each other to laugh a bit. Have a nice day, & see you in another reaction. And don't worry for your jokes about Canada, we can take them--all the time from our USA neighbours, so we're used to it.

[@donaldstewart8342]

I hope you meant Commented and not Vomited

[@melrest3453]

This guy has a very interesting way of explaining things.

[@Steve-318]

The hunters in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and West Virginia alone would comprise the largest army in the world. Wisconsin deploys an army larger than Iran to repel the deer in the state. Pales in comparison to Michigan and PA. though, lol.

[@emc4069]

Yes, videos about your country. I love Portugal!

[@ImYourFather21]

I think reacting to some videos about Portugal would be pretty cool

[@thatbroad5848]

Love the Portugal video idea! Interested! And in the cities people use public transport. It’s a huge country with wide spaces. It doesn’t make sense MOST places. And no state tax in some states. No sales tax in Oregon. It’s different everywhere.

[@GeographRick]

My dad was in the US Navy. After they did some exercises with other NATO countries they went to Portugal for liberty (fun time off) He loved Portugal and spoke fondly about it.

[@merrittburt4569]

I’d love to hear you react to some videos about Portugal! It would be fun to learn about your country more!

[@KonglomeratYT]

As an American who has been underweight his entire life (my ribs show through my shirt) no matter how much I eat; I always tilt my head like I am looking at zoo animal when a European tries to tell me that I am fat because I live in America, while simultaneously telling me that I don't know where their country is (Which I always do know) AND, apparently, I can't generalize Europe cause it's "So diverse" XD. It's insane how much you hear this nonsense as an American. Yes, Europeans do get angry/standoffish regarding AC/Heating usage in America. "Making fun of" is not exactly the right wording. I've had this conversation a lot, but never felt "made fun of". The person only ever tried to insult me for it. Never make fun of. For the accents, 100%, you sound Russian to me (an American). You sound like the perfect russian accent stereotype here. Also, I liked your Wyoming joke XD I never understood America being considered Imperialistic. America freed the "free world" from Imperialism. Most of America's territory was bought from its owners. Whenever a territory wants independence, America gives it independence with no questions asked. This stereotype can only exist without reading history.

[@suem6004]

I drove 750km round trip today for $18. I could not get any public transport for that. Oh, the Mississippi recently froze over up north but now is thawing with a dense fog over it so you can barely see across to the other side. Has been crazy weather lately.

[@413TomaccoRoad]

The National Guard from each state are U.S. Military but they are reserve soldiers, not full time. They usually get called to help after emegencies like earthquakes, floos, tornadoes and big snow events. They can also be called up to full time military in situations like after the W.T.C . attacks.

[@Berts-pets]

I would enjoy seeing videos about Portugal.

[@TheGoreforce]

in cincinnati, I used it a ton, there is some towns that don't have that good of transport.

[@kathleensheehan5582]

I watch videos about Portugal already, mostly real estate, and would love for you to share your culture.

[@vincentlavallee2779]

On another point, you mentioned taxes n the various states. But there are four different types of taxes: (1) Federal income tax, (2) state income tax, (3) property tax, (4) Sales tax.The latter three are all administered within each state. Item #2 and #4 are administered by the state government. #3 is usually administered by the county, which has its own offices/policies/etc that is separate from the state. So, I think this video is talking about State income tax, such as Texas where I believe there is none.

[@doggoneme3863]

Bigger cities have a lot public transportation, but most cities don't have any. My city doesn't and neither have most of the places I have lived. Sometimes, going from state to state, sometimes you'll think you're in another country. We are very diverse.

[@CrispyOkra]

I'd love to see you react to Portugal topics. I know very little about Portugal, unfortunately.

[@Out-Of-Service]

Just a heads up for when you come, every major city has at least one "bad" area that you should avoid. Ask anyone when you get to the city and they will tell you where not to go.

[@gregf3021]

We have the handful of military branches, the Nation Guard is in every station to help that state. They don't go overseas as far as I know.

[@easein]

Would love to see your country and daily life!

[@jacquelinejohnson9447]

New Orleans, Louisiana hasn't fully recovered from Hurricane Katrina yet and has an overabundance of poor people. The crime rate, as a result, is high but not to the point you can't safely visit the city.

[@melissabill1640]

You are right about public transportation. It's good in large cities but not the rest of the country.

[@au84532]

I've seen several Europeans react to this video and my answer every time someone asks "who is making fun of that?" THE FRENCH! IT'S ALWAYS THE FRENCH

[@JulsMWK1995]

I am American and love geography. My kids learned a lot of geography at a young age too.

[@jourdansarpy4935]

The US south is one of our poorest regions. As the video said, the problem here is economic inequality.

[@kleindropper]

But the cost of living is also much lower. For example, I read an article about how DOCTORS can't afford to live in San Fran anymore.

[@jourdansarpy4935]

@@kleindropperthat's fine for the people with money. It doesn't matter how low cost of living is when you're poor.
