Exactly there’s a reason why South Dakota is so great no need to change it

If you want it to be just like home, stay there.

As a NEW South Dakotan...I approve of that message! Politically speaking conservatism is making this place great.

@Big Dick Black damn liberals and their opposition to slavery and jim crow....

Asimilate or migrate

I am a constitutional conservative and an originalist .... pretty much as far right as a person can get .... but I do love to listen to old, funky music and disco, lol .... I would think that would be okay, right?

This is a free country. We can each have our own opinions.

@@juliejensen7370 Really? .... not on social media, we can't .... :/

As long as you are conservative you will be fine lol

We plan on moving there next year. Awesome hospitality.thanks

im in rapid I LOVE going to mount rushmore I really wanna go there again alot. But I don't like going hiking

CCRhorst, What a nice comment. Greetings from Huron. -------------- Blue Collar Lit.

Aye Sioux Falls!!

Not very far from you!!

ME TOO-

What part of South Dakota do you think is best for retirees? I'm a year or so from retirement, and looking for a new adventure.

I lived in Mitchell which is about 1 hour from Sioux Falls. I live in Minnesota now but memories are good 😔

@@davervatx8814 West River/The Black Hills

I currently live in Las Vegas NV and I’ve considered South Dakota ⭐️

I'm also from Sioux falls south Dakota moved to Colorado when I was 18 months hopin to go back but I also love Colorado I wave my south Dakota and Colorado flag high!

Damn hella you people did go ruin everywhere

@@ShieldThane I am looking for that button that allows me to see your comment in English.

If you moved here last year you had only a taste of winter. Last year was really mild.

@@bobothree prime example of why they don’t want people to move in

lol. you said don't come here. but you moved there.

I feel that lol I just wish they could do a story in milbank

Me sitting here at 4:45am planning to move to your state

How is your state. Do you like it any crime or things you don’t like?

I know right

@@herssonmartin3675 basically no crime. At least where I live (decent sized town here).

I left Minnesota due to tax's and landed in Colorado. The people out here are whack jobs and nothing works the way it should. Cloud of anger over the place. My next stop is SF. It's a mini Minneapolis minus all the problems. Not to mention 5 star pheasant hunting and Lewis and Clark rec area is an hour away. Be well!

Stay in California,South Dakota doesnt need you idiot liberals.

Florida winter time problem solved lololo👍

What city did you move?

That right there is the most important reason to want to live there. The shutdown was really stupid.

The same governor is using taxpayer money to fight voter approved recreational Marijuana because her husband sells crop insurance that doesn't cover hemp. Also she gave a majority of our covid relief funds to her brothers business and her personal farm. She is a crook!

Iowa Sucks. Most South Dakotans would agree.

@@gregwegleitner1933 Minnesota is worse

Lol

It's not that pretty..but can I still get a job? Ud rather be cold then HOT..

@@gregwegleitner1933 Iowa is boring but it has both a low cost of living and a great quality of life

I moved to Sioux Falls like 2018

CCL Label is great place to work!

Sadly, the better climate the place has, the more people who want to live there. The more people who want to live there, the harder it is. Except Canada. Canada fucking sucks everywhere and everyone wants to live here because of how easy it is to migrate here. Bursting that bubble, it's easy to migrate here because it fucking sucks here and no one wants to be here. Weeeeeeee

@@masterdrewanthony I know a Canadian that wants to get the holy hell outta there... I'd personally help her emigrate... if she was single lol

@@masterdrewanthony How is it easy? You pretty much have to have a job already waiting for you in Canada to move there legally.

That's where I'm moving too, mostly because my wife works for Amazon and they are opening an Amazon there.

Tea, Lennox, and Harrisburg

Sioux Falls feels huge compared to the rest. Winters can be cold but then you get a few days of like 50 degrees which sucks. Never heard about the Tea and Lennox rivalry.

Thanks

I think it's the way Briggs presents it, if only my history teachers were like him.

Indeed. I’ve spent a number of lost weekends mainlining Briggs.

Literally watch everyday

Awesome channel loved it , looking to move to save money from NYC

I live in Sioux Falls and I’m going to Colorado the 18th of June to visit my cousins and come back the 22nd.

I would agree but the NE Lakes are great if you like the outdoors.

I was going to hike til I heard a prairie rattlesnake.

@@nhmooytis7058 I took a day long hike once at Letchworth State Park in upstate NY long before I found out there was such a thing as timber rattlesnakes there. There are varieties of rattlesnakes for various habitats found in deserts, prairies and even in woods in the northeast where I'm from of all places.

@@nhmooytis7058 Ohh yeah, when I was out there it must have been mating season for those things, I could hear them EVERYWHERE

@@Dtyler171 good time to beat feet.

Was up there a few weeks ago. Absolutely loved the city Had no idea any of that was a problem Is it in certain areas of town

You just contradicted yourself by giving 3 reasons not to live there....lol.

@@robbiewalters4055 That's literally every city though. I could say worse about Chicago, New York, Philly, Atlanta, etc.

@@trevorgazi1197 what was your reasons if you don't mind me asking?

@@APWoodworking we live near Denver and thinking about moving. The liberals have taken this state over

Just don’t bring ur political here have fun as Sean hannity would say

Rapid City/Black hills on the west end, and Sioux Falls on the East end; everything in between is just 🌽

Makes me feel good about living in Sioux Falls

When I first moved to Sioux falls the zoning confuses me. The whole city feels like a run down saint paul. And most of the neighborhoods besides Summit look like slightly nicer trailer parks. That being said I'm looking forward to living there, but for god sakes someone please deal with all the litter on the streets.

Shall we talk about east river vs west river? I have lived in both. I wouldn't live in Sioux Falls again if you paid me a six figure income. It was worse than living in Tucson, AZ as the people are snooty and think they are gods' gift to the state.

@@anjiwiley What do you think is behind this attitude there?

You can always put on more clothes! Unfortunately it's really far from my family..

i was born and always lived in South Dakota, the winter is not bad when u get used to it, its the sheer boredom when we cant hunt that drives us up to the bars, look it up, we have one of the highest drinking rates in the usa because theres not much else to do

@@hopewell001 I don’t doubt it, same goes for Alaska, Nebraska, Iowa, hard drugs, smoking, and lots of drinking, i have lived out in the. Sticks before, the beauty was not enough to keep me, I can’t stand big big cities, but I also go crazy out in the boonies, I need some activity and people..... after living and traveling all over, I’ll stick with east Florida, I am an active outdoors person and I have always been happiest healthiest and most active and social in Florida, particularly the eastern areas : )

And the governor is an idiot

@@wmmseo true, but thats about a 3rd of our country's state and local govt.'s. unfortunately

@@Shannonbarnesdr1 HAHAHAHA! So true it hurts. The state of Wisconsin had a retarded tool for a Gov for way too long and now we have a well intending meat puppet that can't get anything done because the "opposite" party prevents him from doing anything. Got to love the "party of NO" to get nothing done.

Ha ha ha! Talking about getting as far away from the cold winters as possible!

You got some of them phillipino lady boys huh

Yeah I too move to the Philippines. I'm in the mountains in Baguio. The weather is absolutely perfect. It's about 75 everyday and about 60 every night, 365 days of the year!

@@anjiwiley nope they have not

Nah-

Wow!

Well, that almost broke my heart.

Yeah it was buried in the mud and resurfaced. The mud in that creek can be like quicksand and just suck things in.

In the fall of 2013, as the creek in Clay County dried up due to drought, a bystander noticed a tire sticking out of the water and notified police, who located the car the girls had been driving. The women's bodies were found inside the car -- their belongings frozen in time. 😢

@@jenpru3825 correct, near Vermillion SD.

Go Jacks!!

Yes. Spearfish for the win, don't go to belle Fouche though

Some trucking jobs have more home time than others, but as a company driver - not so much better. I admire the owner operator independent drivers, but they have to know the business extremely well. I have considered "retiring" to part time truck driving, share a route with another part time driver - one week out, one week home - they promise. Or maybe 10 days out, but the same shared route with another part time driver.

@@timothykeith1367 They always promise. And the jobs you speak of pay by the hour, not the mile, and are located in areas with large metropolitan centers. There are none of those in South Dakota; metropolitan areas, that is. And Briggs specifically mentioned 'driving jobs' for South Dakota. for south Dakota, forget about all of the "attractions." a driving job based in South Dakota isn't going to leave you any time for that activity. In addition, the activity you refer to is known as "Slip Seating." (If you're going to drive, you should know that term) And slip seating has its own particular problems. You will discover them all. Mwahahahahahahahahaha! LOL Having said that, good luck with it. For young men, it is an outstanding profession. You are literally paid to cruise and listen to music. Everyday, not just on Friday nights. ;-) And you do get to travel the country. To this day, I have no need of any map . . . to go anywhere. I know how to get there. I even remember where all of my favorite truck stops are located. Good luck, Timothy, and enjoy!

@@anthonyhargis6855 I'm in IT now, but I am familiar with the trucking industry. The recruiters make promises - maybe a few of them have actually been a driver, most have the best intentions. The companies speak of the optimal scenarios - some company drivers actually earn what they claim in the "up to" promises. They'll mention "running hard" - which means if everything works out ideally and you have the stamina and the trip planning to get the maximum miles and avoid road construction and other delays. Many of them want team drivers. I heard of one company that is doing a trial of three drivers in a team. Some of the trucks are very well maintained, others break down too much. Turnover is high for young drivers, they want a social life and better pay.

@@timothykeith1367 The hours you can drive are set in Federal law. No getting around that. As for team driving, it depends on whether or not YOU can sleep while the truck is moving over rough roads. (I was literally thrown out of the bunk several times by bumps in the road) The "Hours of Service" law is why companies want teams AND why some are experimenting with triple teams. A friend of mine, and I, tried it. Neither of us could sleep while the truck was moving over "suck ass" roads, of which there are MILLIONS of miles. As for Recruiters and Dispatchers: Remember just last week, when your Supervisor promised you (blank) and the Owner chimed in and said "screw that shit?" Well, TECHNICALLY Recruiters and Dispatchers ARE a "step above" drivers in the hierarchy, but they still don't actually "call the shots." So take their promises with a grain of salt. My friend and I "teamed" for exactly one month, then . . . never again. I was an Owner/Operator for two years, BARELY made more money then I did as a company driver PLUS had a bunch of headaches that company drivers don't have. The only really benefit was that I COULD -- theoretically -- reject any loads I didn't want. BUT, companies DO have ways of getting revenge for that. So . . . Let me know what you decide!

@@anthonyhargis6855 I am convinced that the ideal trucking jobs are largely luck. There are so many scenarios that drivers can't control. I hear about companies that are "family oriented" and care about drivers, where the drivers earn $80K or more, and I hear of other company drivers working for the same huge trucking company that say the opposite. The situations are all different, but lots of drivers just quit rather than keep looking for the better situation. And now that Covid-19 lockdowns are ending, there are plenty of jobs near home. I've heard drivers say that South Dakota is their favorite state to work in, the big cities have the loads but the traffic delays can be horrendous. California enforces pernicious regulations and the northeast has so much traffic congestion. I'd thought maybe I'd want to drive a tanker - I mostly see tankers late at night when the traffic is generally calm - but that's also when many highways get shutdown for maintenance.

Hello handsome How are you doing today

Im single seaching for a man to love and support ❤️

2 of the worst things I experienced in Sioux Falls is a Blizzard and a Tornado

Hello

Can you chat me private on my Gmail I need a man to love me with all my life and im gonna spend on him ✌️

Andrew Manley -- I'm with you. And if it's true that we're moving into a mini-ice age, SD will soon be igloo city.

And if the wind didn't blow all the time.

Just put on a warm jacket, a shirt and wear some long pants and stop walking around wearing only sunglasses 🕶 naked there’s your answer...

As a new South Dakotan the winters can be harsh. This year It got to -26 degrees Farenheit and I personally was walking to my car when it was -22 degrees Farenheit. It is windy here. "Does the wind always blow this way? Nope it sometimes comes from the other way" ...haha. Moreover I live in a town of only 1000 people and its roughing it compared to the big city of Omaha where I came from.

lived in Pierre SD for 5 yrs, I needed a snowblower one time in those 5 yrs, the winters arent bad from Pierre on west, as you move east across the state, it gets colder with more snow, loved living there, awesome people,

Where did you move to?

You are right. A lot of people do not realize you can have snow from October to May in SD and it almost always gets -25 to -30 below zero each winter, sometimes weeks at a time. There is a reason why SD has more cows than people living there.

You are the most beautiful creations of God 😍. How do you cope with any secret

I don’t get cold in winter unless it’s below 10°

I lived in Alaska so im used to it. Tranfering with my job and thinking about moving here

@@fyourfeelings6830 if you coming from Alaska do it my sister boyfriend is from Alaska and he loves it here

By all means believe everything you hear about SD. This is the Unicorn state , we also have the Jackalope.

@@crystalbluewire3339 lol sounds like you don’t like South Dakota or you don’t want people moving there. We full time in our RV and we need a domicile state. Luckily for us SD is one of the friendliest for setting up domicile for full time RVers. Texas and Florida are great for that too.

How bad is it in Cali? I'm curious.

She "vetoed" something that we voted for, and then turned around, "un-vetoed" it, and claims she had been fighting to get us what we wanted that whole time. We don't need more crazy people like her.

@@RealNV2K move to commifornia then

Lol, I’ve lived in South Dakota my whole life and it has a lot of good things about it but our governor is not. She is one of the most crooked politicians out there.

Oregonian here with a question: What, if any, were the most dramatic cultural and financial differences between SD & OR?

Except the ones no sane person would move to.

Hello, aww life is great; Can I have a little of your time, I wanna have a chat with you if you don't mind, The Rock 🗿

Hello Deb how are you doing today.

I always felt they’re not long and cold enough. Like right now it was in the 40s like two weeks ago. Doesn’t get cold until late November and warms up in March.

Who handled COVID the worst.

Yup. She literally might be the best governor in the US. Her or DeSantis.....

Never did and have yet to need it.

Sioux Falls has bus service, can't imagine anyone would wish for Amtrak.

Thanks for pointing that out Loretta Olsen. Most people don't know that fact.

Kelly Smith you obviously don't live in Deadwood.

Hello Loretta how are you doing today.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hello handsome Im single seaching for a man to love and support ❤️

Hope to move there for better blue collar jobs and low cost of housing

Yeah and even McDonald’s is like 15 dollars an hour

Looking into social services work & curious about the resources available to individuals with developmental/intellectual disabilities. Any suggestions?

Sounds like heaven for me

what if i have a emergency. it could take 30 minutes to a hour just for a ambulance and then another 30 minutes to a hour to get to the nearest emergency room. I could be dead by then. but other then that and the cold everything else seems fine

Thanks

Thank you.

Don't move here! I promise you'll regret it after a while.

@@guthannight Here's my suggestion... you move here to Pennsylvania and I'll move there. Since you don't like it there, and I don't like it here, we can both try something new. If it doesn't work out, we still are in the same situation. If it does, then even better.

@@Murph_. I'm in the middle of getting my ducks in a row to get out of here. Moving back to Omaha. If you want to rent out one of my places be my guest. It's just stupid how tight banks are now. 5 years ago when I bought my houses I thought it was hard but nope today is worse 😑.

Thanks Briggs. Loved this one in particular. Visiting the state in a couple of months while shopping for our retirement location.

Sounds like an improvement from Wyoming. Snowed in September, snowed in June.

Hmmm... winter there is almost as long as it is here in central Vermont - both are beautiful states with less people, but Vermont is VERY expensive. : (
