what is going on everyone it is time to talk about the cowboy state Wyoming the
state website describes itself like this wyomia is where the untamed spirit of
the West and majestic natural beauty open your mind and invigorate your
senses to release your own inner freedom and sense of adventure for some
adventure may mean taking the kids camping in Yellowstone National Park or
visiting a rodeo for the first time now that's all well and good but like
Montana in my last video newcomers sometimes don't make it a year Wyoming
is a great state with great people and a lot of history but it's not for
everyone so before you load up the Prius and start driving you should watch my
top ten reasons not to move to Wyoming
number ten it's got the winds the Great Divide flat lands combined with the
latitude of Wyoming relative to the weather coming off the Pacific rates
more wind than most newcomers ever thought possible the wind blows all the
frickin time in Wyoming wear some chapstick
number nine it's kind of vacant why only is the least populous state in the
country even though it's the tenth largest by area according to the census
records only about five hundred and eighty six thousand people actually live
in Wyoming to put that in perspective the smallest state in the u.s. Rhode
Island has a little over a million people
Wyoming is also one of the few states that's projected to lose residents in
the next census
number eight no big cities there are no giant metropolis Azure concrete jungles
in Wyoming no giant malls or skyscrapers el White
Hall on the University of Wyoming's campus is the tallest building in the
state it's only 12 stories it's a dormitory about 200 feet high now if
you're sitting there thinking right now what are you talking about Casper or
Cheyenne those are big cities you're joking right you need to travel more Los
Angeles in New York will blow your mind to be honest I'd rather live in Casper
than the other those two so trust me on that one you don't need to travel to him
number seven divorce rate why Oh me with its 15% has the seventh highest divorce
rate in the nation the state has the fourth highest rate of people that have
been married more than three times more than three times didn't you learn
anything the last three how about you people stop getting hitched and date a
while get to know each other make sure it's going to stick
number six killing it at work Wyoming has the second highest rate of fatal
occupational injuries that's across all occupations in Wyoming that's pretty
scary second-highest but on a positive note
they also lead the country and people killed by cattle or moose so that's cool
I guess
number five real cowboys the cowboy isn't a fashion thing in Wyoming these
are real Cowboys and according to longtime subscriber and Casper resident
Sheila she said that the cowboy thing includes the hard drinking and the
infrequent bathing so it's not as romantic as you'd think
number four killing it on the highways why oh me has the highest rate of
traffic fatalities in the country long stretches of lonely road are probably
putting people to sleep on a regular basis and they're driving off the road
of course older folks like blaming any car accident these days on driving while
texting I doubt that's really a thing in Wyoming it's hard to get a signal
anyplace in this state
number three supervolcano I talked about how Yellowstone is a
ticking time bomb of a supervolcano in my Montana video here's the bad news
90% of Yellowstone is actually in Wyoming if that thing blows it's
probably gonna screw up the planet for a century or two with that in mind this is
probably the best place to be I mean if the world is going to crap you don't
want to limp away from that bad boy
number two a lot of dead space the distance between cities is measured in
hours not miles in Wyoming in between the towns there's a whole lot of nothing
grass and dirt is about all you're gonna see I hate drives like this way too much
time to just sit and think about everything when you're driving alone on
flat nothing ground your mind just starts wandering you think about
everything by the time you get to Casper these are the things you thought about
along the way god I hate driving maybe I need a
different car why are these lines yellow wait now they're white I think there's a
town called White Bluff or is it fluff what the hell is a fluffer anyway how
long have people been turning cucumbers into pickles I wonder if there's any
UFOs out here are those cop lights or a UFO maybe I should pull over what if I'm
abducted yeah I wonder if I'm adopted oh hey look two miles to Casper
and number one the highest suicide rate sadly Wyoming has the highest suicide
rate in the nation they have 28 suicides per every 100,000 residents the state
with the lowest is New Jersey which has a suicide rate of nearly three times
lower than Wyoming and if you ever been to or met someone from New Jersey right
now you're thinking how is that a thing and I'm with you on that one
this isn't a stat you want to lead the country in they have a lot of theories
and they've done a lot of studies on why this is and what the reason for this
status I think it's combination most of the
things on the list let's say you're driving down the road lonely stretch a
road the winds blowing you're with your fourth wife your cowboy and Yemen
showered in four days there's a rumbling in the ground you think the supervolcano
is finally gonna blow and you just can't take it anymore now that is a serious
stat and it's it's sad but you know why all means a great state it's too bad
they have a stat like that well that's the video that's the top ten reasons not
to move to Wyoming Wyoming is a great state it's just not
