My name is Glenn Woods - I host a morning radio talk show heard on stations across Wyoming. This was a good video. The only thing lacking is WHY we don't take federal government money for many things and why we enjoy living in small towns that don't have many amenities. YES, we produce coal, gas, and oil. These are affordable and reliable fuels that pollute a lot less and have a lower impact on the land than wind and solar. In other words, what we do might seem out of step to some, but we have our reasons.

@Scroll_Lock 5 ай бұрын

Plenty of small spread out communities and opportunities for you to set up your own practice. I'm sure many would like to have more local options without having to make a drive. To put it into perspective, people on the west side of the state drive to Idaho or Utah just to go clothes shopping or make a costco run.

@UsualMike 4 ай бұрын

I would guess that in a low population state like Wyoming there is probably a significant demand for doctors, especially in more rural and small town locations where they are in short supply. Probably easier to make a living in some of the state's larger cities, like Cheyenne, Casper, Laramie (a college town), and Gillette, which would offer a larger patient base with still relatively affordable costs of living. There is also Jackson, which is a more touristy area near Yellowstone and Grand Teton. It is a ski resort town popular with wealthy out-of-state visitors, many of whom own vacation homes in the area, and is quite beautiful. The area has grown quite a bit over the last few decades, but remains constrained by the extraordinarily high housing prices relative to local income levels, especially for people in working in the service industry. Perhaps someone on a doctor's salary could make it work, though.

I get it 100% Alberta (where I am) is the most conservative place in Canada much the same way Wyoming is and for the same reasons... Most people born here have a frontier, trust no one mentality. "Everyone is trying to take your _____ land/gold/cattle/truck/weed, etc" which is actually pretty true. It's a land of opportunity and sadly opportunists so we don't tend to trust people who breeze into town and declare a holiday... Or try to sell you a monorail, like Simpson's Lyle Langley... or in Alberta's current 2024 case a Hyperloop type project... Plus the population in the rural parts are very old median wise with most youth leaving for somewhere else and never returning, myself included. Did the same thing in 2005 and never looked back. In Alberta's case? Most youth settle down in Edmonton or Calgary or move out of province almost entirely to Vancouver which is like jumping from Austin or Dallas to LA culturally speaking... Having said all that if progressives really wanted to flip Wyoming back to a Democratic state it wouldn't take that many digital nomads settling in places like Cody, Cheyenne or Casper to flip it... I did the math... 100K or so would flip the state from solid R Red to at least purple... Another Colorado, Arizona or Nevada! ;-)
