Hey Briggs, great video! As someone from California, I have considered moving to Nevada (primarily because it's cheaper, but I also fell in love with the landscape). On my first road trip out there, I was 19, and that first desert highway was like nothing I have ever seen. The road stretched for miles (I would guess 25-30 at least), and there was no traffic, buildings, or anything resembling civilization anywhere in sight -- only shrubs and hills. It was truly magnificent.
Over the course of two more road trips, I have now traveled almost every paved highway criss-crossing that state (that's hardly a boast; there aren't very many to begin with 😅). I can recall visiting the town of Hawthorne for the first time, and just thinking how (again, as someone from California Central Valley) the people living there are so isolated from the rest of society. You would have to travel over 100 miles just to get to the closest mid-size city (Reno). If you don't have your own private vehicle, forget it. And just thinking about the costs of maintenance, gas, time, etc. to travel that far on a regular basis to do things the rest of us take for granted . . . wow. Perhaps the most remarkable, however, was the town of Rachel, which is the ONLY sign of civilization along a 95-mile stretch of road (375, the Extraterrestrial Highway). And the closest major city? Las Vegas, at almost 150 miles. Still, I absolutely love the beauty, and as someone who dislikes urban environments, I'm not exactly repulsed at the idea of living somewhere rather off the beaten path, so-to-speak. But that might be a little much, even for me. Anyways, I love that you covered this in such detail, and keep up the great work!
P.S. I can confirm that 98% of the state looks exactly like what you see at 8:34, only that most roads are two-lane highways rather than Interstates (this looks like I-80 to me, though I couldn't even begin to guess where). And yes, in case you were wondering, I have slightly exceeded the 70 mph speed limit at times, though I won't say by how much. Fortunately, I've never been caught while in Nevada (I have in Oregon and Idaho). Here's an interesting fact: a 2017 Ford Fusion is capable of traveling in excess of 120 mph quite easily.

@karlstrauss2330 Wrong. The separation between church and state is enshrined in our Constitution and the writings of many of our Founding Fathers, including Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, George Washington, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, just to name a few. The Founders could have added a clause to the Constitution instituting Christianity as the state religion, but they did the exact opposite. They FORBID any particular religion from exercising supremacy over another, in no small part because they just won independence from a country whose monarch claimed to have divine authorization to rule for life. Wow, you don't know anything about U.S. history, do you? Is this what the so-called "1776 Commission" is teaching kids nowadays?

Wow, I'm surprised that mass shootings or gun violence aren't on the list, given that they are a distinctly American problem (in the developed world, at least). But I think I would put #1 on a list of things that piss me off, not on a list of what I fear most. After all, the fact that Sinema has taken $900,000 from Big Pharma or that Joe Manchin still earns millions from his family's fossil fuel company doesn't affect my life in any deep or personal sense, but it sure as hell makes it extremely difficult to get any decent legislation passed that would systemically change America for the better (Medicare for All, universal childcare, lower prescription drug costs, paid family leave and sick time/vacations, unionization rights, ending undemocratic processes like gerrymandering, etc.). All this would be absolutely essential if we were to even consider ourselves a "developed" country, because every other wealthy (OECD) nation in the world has them. It's absolutely ridiculous, and it's all because the Supreme Court ruled that money is speech --- an absurdity if I ever heard one. Corruption is treated like murder in other developed countries, why not here? Because the only ones with the power to do anything about it are all BOUGHT OFF!!! 🤬

@El.Matamoros. And what has the Bible given us besides justification for genocide, r-pe, m-rder, abusing women, opposing basic human rights, and over 1,000 years of some of the strictest oppression that included burning witches, persecuting and executing those who didn't fall in line via numerous Inquisitions, untold numbers of deaths and incomprehensible levels of suffering by starting wars (like the Crusades), quashing all opposition, justification for some of the most authoritarian regimes in history, and almost zero technological and scientific progress? That it gave a some people false hope and encouraged a few to help the poor? Wow, what a track record...
