Why not just say you'd like to have him as a friend or "any women would be lucky to have Hank as a husband"? Not judging you or trying to debate. ​Of course, there's also nothing wrong with a man finding another man attractive. Amorous love is valid between mutually consenting, grown people regardless of sex or gender. @@billblaski9523

Hank being too prideful to admit he quit at something is hilarious 🤣

Power move. I ain repeating myself

I know that mood to damn well.

What a response 🤣

Mr crabs: money!

@@greygaston1263 Is that best answer you have? Please be specific.

I've learned that 90% of the time its 'cause the narcissist signing their check tells them to go against their principles.

@@LittlePwnageMusicFan The answer is money exactly as "greygaston1263" and ego. Not to be political but on theme, Texas's private power grid failed during the winter storm, but its government grid held on. And when the private grid got partially on, it charged people thousands of dollars but the government grid charged regular prices. texas gets hit with a winter storm every decade and it would have cost the private grid 0.5% of profit for a few years to winterize it, but they refuse. on the ego part, I can give you a personal experience. whenever an executive came to visit we know the work would get harder because those morons didn`t understand the job. They had an idea based on their imagination but it was far from reality. and they wouldn`t listen to you. they saw you as beneath them so if you try to tell them something important they would ignore you. you had to find a few supervisors who listen, so those could talk to them.

Because big business always wins

eeyyyyyup

I don’t like that Hank doesn’t appreciate Flex Time. We have Flex Time at my job on top of working with a hybrid model, and Flex Time is soooooo damn awesome.

@@steverogers7601 when you have five employees in a retail environment pretty much all of that corporate newspeak stuff is complete nonsense. its literally just tikkun olam being forced on people

Yeah, after I started working I realized how much companies are like Lloyd and we need more people like Hank

Ngl Fraiser is pretty great. I recommend it

Come on Sopranos is in a world different league in terms of writing

must be a zoomer

Frasier is infinitely based how dare you

dude seriously, the sopranos? the single greatest masterpiece in television history? gtfo

Dam right

The problem with that, is that Hank can at times be too blindfully naive.

​@@theBigA1992but he usually learns a lesson by the end of the episode

You have no idea how wrong that would be.

No, he's too Conservative. That's bad for society

Buck never asked Hank to worship him. The fact a grown man is such a suck up to his boss is weird. Hank obviously has issues and feels the need to use Buck as a father figure not even taking into account that Buck is far from a stable role model. If we look at this objectively "normal" people go to work,do their job and come home. Hank is obsessed with his job.

I can't really think about buck crapping on Hank except in this episode. Buck does appreciate Hank and rewards him accordingly. He is obviously paid well and speaks his praises to him in front of Bobby. And he got the Texas Propane Commission to bestow the highest honor unto Hank that effectively made him Buck's equal. Well there was that time he lost Hank in a bet but Hank just cleaned tanks at Thaterton.😂

@@Kaboomboo how about the time that Buck framed him for murder?

Well it's shown that Buck helped nurture Hank's love of propane and actually showed pride in Hank's hard work. Something Cotton probably didn't do a lot of for him growing up. So I always saw it as Hank seeing Buck as the father he always wanted. It does help that barring some episodes like this, Buck actually is a decent boss. He knows how to show appreciation to the good employees to keep them on board. I remember thinking that while I think he's a terrible person, he's probably one of the better bosses to have if you're a hard worker because he does everything to keep you happy

@@Kaboomboo @nolagospeltracts8264 And the time he had Hank shoot his emu for insurance fraud.

because those things are all bad and of course related to his family, but betraying the single thing Hank believed in as well as everything Strickland portrayed himself as destroyed the foundations for Hank's loyalty

@@sterlingglover7448 So Hank values propane more than his family?

@@misterniceguy429 hard to say, but if he were made to think about it, I'd like to think he'd choose his family

Nice to see you here, sir.

Video coming soon?

I WANNA SEE YOUR HERCULES VIDEO PLOX

Buck framed his best worker for murder, i would say he only knows how to treat customers

Buck is a perfect business man even if he's a scumbag

Yeah he cared more about making as much money possible, but at the time you needed someone who cared about propane to run the business.

If you think Texas is corrupt, I'd suggest you stay as far away from California, Washington, Oregon, Virginia are...

It sucks for Texas but they have their own grid while everyone else has a shared grid for electricity. I hope Texas gets solar power or hydropower by the coast.

As a kid I didnt understand what the fuss was about. Now as an adult I understand why my dad tells me to always fill my car with gas from Walmart (Its always the cheapest price in my town)

i use to go to walmart but i get better mpg from shell

You know things have gotten bad when we are MISSING the days of 10 cent price increases. -_-

This was a 1998 episode. Propane was around $0.9-1 a gallon. A 10 cent increase would be 10%. Today that would be around 30-40¢ increase depending on your location.

Even trash cans.

Well it is a business after all

@@danieldryden6644 Business doesn't succeed by only pursuing the bottom line; it succeeds by providing a product or service that customers want at a price they're willing to pay. Are customers willing to pay 10 cents more per gallon of propane because of the weather? Possibly, if the weather was disrupting supply and that raised the wholesale price for Strickland; that's the sort of cost increase people understand. But the reason for raising the price here does not appear to be because it will increase the wholesale cost to Strickland; it appears to be strictly because people are using more propane. That's not a good justification for raising prices. Much in the same way that anytime a person begins their reasoning for something with "In business school..." is always justification to seek a second opinion.

@@PhycoKrusk what are you talking about? Increase demand is absolutely a justification for increase in price thats a basic economic principle

@@danieldryden6644 Yes, it is a basic economic principle, and that's why I'm disregarding it here, because basic economic principles applied strictly according to the model, as Vickers did, only work as expected within the model. Once you get into the real world, as Hank indirectly points out, changes like that will lead to results which are not easily predictable, because people are not machines following a program. If you charge $5 per gallon of propane, and someone will use 10 gallons of propane for heating, that's $50 of revenue; we can agree on that. If you raise prices by 10 cents per gallon, you will make $51 revenue only if that person continues to use 10 gallons of propane. If they turn the heat down, put on a sweater, and only use 9 gallons of propane, you lose $4.10 of revenue. This is why businesses pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to experts to make predictions about the market conditions based on buckets of gathered and distilled data, and not some yuppie who went to college with no actual experience: Models assume ideal systems, and the real world is rarely, if ever, an ideal system. Applying principles because "that's just the basics" is why businesses fail, as illustrated by this episode.

@@PhycoKruskraising prices incrementally is a good thing because you want people to discourage overconsumption, rationing does not work unless it is done by forcing people to ration their own money.

I'm a straight man and I wish I had a husband like him

He pretty much explains it here, Buck's been feeding Hank a steady diet of pretending to be a good man his entire life. In just 2 minutes, Buck ruined that by admitting he's only in it for the money, doesn't believe in his own product, and knew about the tattlers and used them himself the entire time. The only thing I don't know is why Hank bothered to go back when Buck's little peon ruins his business.

@@darkmask5933Hank was going to quit but then he listened to the messages on his voicemail and realized how many people count on him. He didn’t go back for Buck, he went back because of them.

Cotton Hill makes Buck Strickland look like an angel.

It wasn't always.

Hank finds out that he needs to change the world or else his kids will live in a miserable one.

Hank would have been overjoyed at the opportunity to install gas lines

There is another problem with price gouging: in declared states of emergency, it’s illegal. We don’t know if one was declared during the episode, but if it was, Buck would be on the hook for civil trials and legal fees

@@Emigdiosback any more than one snowflake in Texas is an emergency 😜

The pole knew Hank was having a hard day so gave him a mulligan. Small town hospitality means bending the laws of physics for your neighbors.

The pole knows better than to get between an angry/distressed/annoyed/bothered Hank, and it removed itself from the physical plane for an instant to let him through. Wise move.

What? It did nothing close to that.

Yes big brain, that's the joke

Does it explode? Yes? Then it's a bomb

Obviously not. The toilet paper makes it the bomb. The dynamite is just the mechanics and the baboom of the bomb.

LMAO look how quick this comments section turned on being douches just because you didn’t get the joke.

THAT’S MY PURSE!! I DON’T KNOW YOU!!

It was already well known at the time.

However, you're not allowed to raise prices during an emergency. A deleted scene in the Season 2 box set mentions the Governor telling people to stay indoors and drink plenty of hot boiling water, Indicating a state of emergency was declared.

It happens. It's rare but it happens. It does get cold though ice is usually more of an issue than snow

Conservative ALWAYS meant fascist. It was just more subtle then.

Yep. I think he also has a propane water heater, and (of course) a propane grill.

It is when prices are artificially inflated to unreasonable levels typically during emergency situations to increase profits.

It’s when you gauge the price

When a corporation raises prices for absolutely no good reason at all. They just see if they can get away with it.

Honest business is good business

Depends on what you consider success. Hank wouldn't want the money. Just the satisfaction of selling glorious propane to the people that need it. 🫡

Hank would be a terrible businessman because he's not greedy.

It's true you need to be a viper to be a successful business boy

OK, Greg Abbot
