Maine vs. New Hampshire Taxes: How is this possible with same population, demographics & politics? Geography King 2025-09-15 | Analysis of the different tax structures and economic situations of Maine and New Hampshire. These two states have the same population, same demographics, and same politics, yet differ greatly in their economies. Usually, people resort to politics and race if discussing why two places have different taxes and economies. But with places with the same politics and demographics, what is going on to lead to these two states having very different financial realities?

I've been able to road trip cross-country more than 30 times and have seen so much of the US., but even after so many road trips, so many backroads, so many big cities and small towns, there are places in which I haven't visited.

Gerrymandering: How to Manipulate Maps for Political Gain (With Tutorial!) Geography King 2025-08-27 | Analysis of gerrymandering, the act of manipulating geographic and political data on maps to make districts more favorable to partisans. I go through details on how the process works, the methods used to change the maps, and the challenges associated with the manipulation of votes. It's much more complicated than simply drawing silly shapes to add or subtract voters from districts. This video is most definitely unbiased from a partisan perspective, and there is absolutely no discussion whatsoever of policies or political issues, other than the issue of gerrymandering itself. This is a serious issue that I feel needs to be discussed from an intellectual point of view and not from the political media perspective which usually drives the narrative.

Why Is So Much Farm Labor Done by Undocumented Migrants?

I examine the types of jobs, and why it's difficult for farmers and agricultural companies to find typical labor to fill so many of the jobs. It's not as simple as saying that Americans are unwilling to do the jobs, and it's also not the fault of politicians regardless of ideology.
