In regards to the Soviet Union, even though Christmas is very much a Christian holiday, they still celebrated the festivities, but never called it Christmas but rather just New Year's festivities. Christmas trees were banned (as they called them a bourgeois German import) until 1935 when they became New Year's trees! Labeling them as New Year's rather than Christmas was meant to unify the children throughout the USSR, including the Central Asian ethnic groups who are not Christians. That's why if you look up online, you can hear the Red Army Choir singing Christmas songs like Jingle Bells.

This means that the main development of the south has almost all occurred in the age of huge car centric suburban development, while northeastern states, the Midwest and the west coast has pre-car development communities as well from its earlier times of expansion. And like the west west in Wyoming, how can cars crash when there’s so few people anyway?

Cities in the southern half of the US (also called the sun belt) are likely much more dangerous for pedestrians because the cities grew the most after the proliferation of cars and the construction of the interstate highway system, so they are designed to be much more car-centric than the older cities in the north. This may also explain why Michigan is in the top 20 due to its history of being the heart of the US automotive industry.

Pedestrian crossings at intersections nearly always give pedestrians the walk sign at the same time as the green light for traffic flowing in the same direction. Pedestrians always have the right of way as well in these cases.

Here's why the Bible Belt has so many pedestrian fatalities: American urban planning became very car-centric in the 20th century. The states in the Bible Belt have seen more growth since then, so their roads are wider, their cars move faster, and their transit networks are less developed. At the same time, car culture and American Conservatism have become intertwined for a variety of reasons. Big SUVs and lifted pickups are considered "tougher," and they're growing ever more popular in the South. Finally, religious people are more rural, and rural areas have much higher pedestrian fatality rates in general compared to urban areas.

If you’ve ever been to a sports game in any large Southern city you’ve almost certainly experienced leaving the stadium, going to your parking garage or lot, and then waiting for 30 minutes - several hours for traffic to Clear. That because the massive amount of pedestrians block the few small streets their allowed to go onto and cars are all jamming into each other until they can move in a constant traffic jam. My personal wait record was around 3 hours after getting out of a Tennessee Titans game in Nashville and the average is around 30 minutes to an hour. If pedestrians could just hop on trains that could take them directly home or at least near it, they wouldn’t have to flood the streets to get their cars which makes the problem worse. This isn’t limited to just sporting events either, because the complete lack of trains, buses, trams, or any non deadly bike lanes locks anyone without a car in their house and this is particularly bad for children; who are under complete house arrest until they can drive because the only way you can get around (most of the time in suburbia and rural areas) is by driving. Unless you have friends in your neighborhood your essentially screwed mentally and socially so it’s no surprise that mental health is a problem for American children. Literally none of the governments down here even care either, because public transportation is often equated to big government which most southerners despise from being fed decades of neoliberal propaganda.

Before the air conditioner our summers were way too hot to handle. So when the Greatest Generation flocked down to the Bible Belt after WW2 the US was in it’s car centric phase. This made all the new areas built in the south car dependent thus killing more pedestrians.

Nah it’s probably based on car centric city planning. All areas that experienced most of their growth in the mid twentieth century became very Centric and hostile to pedestrians. This even explains the outliers in the map like Maryland and the southwest. The Sun Belt embodied the suburban lifestyle and as the data shows, it came at a cost.

It's not really as helpful for society as it may have once been, but it did helped establish morals and stuff but now it may be impeding certain kinds of progress. So it's a pretty mixed bag

10:30 The reason the South has more car deaths than other parts of the country is that our infrastructure was built during the 50’s, the most car dependent building phase of American history. We only grew in population significantly during the 50’s due to the invention of the air conditioner making it bare able and all the soldiers coming home and then moving down to the Bible Belt.

I recently moved to Vermont and this state has some of the best pedestrian signaling I've ever seen. A lot of intersections here actually have electric no-turn signs that light up when a crosswalk is active. As for whether people disobey them, there's only been a couple particularly confusing junctions where I've noted that to be a common occurrence.

Oh the irony when Ibx2cat, a British guy mentions: "In New York they really care if you have a gun it's gonna be like another person living next door to you. If you shoot through a wall.

Oh the poorly timed irony. XD

American flag hanging on a circuit breaker control box is one of the few approved places you can hang it that's not on a flagpole in the Constitution.

The reason that southern states have more pedestrian deaths is because it is warmer on average there for more days than on average across the rest of the US so people are out walking around during more of the year. There is also probably less pedestrian-friendly infrastructure in these states plus more miles of rural roads that are poorly-lit, have insufficient shoulder room for pedestrians, and many poorer people that rely on walking to shop for goods. People in rural areas are also probably more likely to walk along public roads due to less fear of crime in comparison to urban areas.

The map is strange because its using the Google Trends divide by metropolitan areas, the orange area is the LA metropolitan area I believe.

Southern suburbs are generally pretty car-dependent (more than average in the U.S.) and enjoy driving larger vehicles. Maybe that's why more pedestrians die. It would be interesting to confirm this by looking at pedestrian deaths by municipality to see if suburbs house the most fatalities. They notoriously have little to no walking infrastrusture.

Utah and Idaho are looking really good on this map. They have very low amounts of racism. Both Utah and Idaho have low pedestrian death scores. Very low gun homicides, but also friendly towards guns.

The correlation to gun friendliness and homicide isn't telling the entire picture. It's actually the states with the highest poverty rate that have the highest homicide rate, that and having high population density also increases murder rate. Chicago has a lot of poverty, high population density and very, very, very high murder rate. Ditto to Detroit. LA, Houston and so on have high rates of poverty and high rates of murder. If you look at say Austin which has a lower poverty rate than Houston the murder rate is quite low while the gun laws are more relaxed. The south has a high poverty rate in general and thus a high murder rate. Gun control measures, at least, the ones on the books don't seem to have much of an effect on murder rate.

Also the thing with Alaska, guns are kind of a necessity if you like to walk out in nature because the animals are terrifying. Even inside homes. If a bear wants in, it's in. I guess same goes for many states but yeah...

Furthermore I am very offended at the idea that more than one country celebrates Thanksgiving. I think we should introduce a day of anti-Thanksgiving. We could call it Hatesgiving or Condemnations Day. But personally I'd name it Scornsgiving. The first International Holiday. All non-US countries in the world could come together to pour scorn on the US's silly parochial ways and violent foreign policies. And we can cook non-American foods like sushi or a meat pie or a currywurst or a pho or jollof rice. And we can play non-American sports, such as all known sports. We could build non-US forts such as weak ones or ones made of wood. We could deface the US flag in fun and imaginative ways like putting a union jack where the stars normally go and also wipe our bums with it for a bit of a laugh. We could make non-American TV specials where the plot actually develops and there's limited CGI effects and the main actor isn't Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. And finally we could avoid traditional American pastimes like baking a cherry pie, driving a massive car or shooting a man to the ground in cold blood. Just some ideas to get things off the ground.

Sounds like the two minute Hate and Hate Week from 1984. What's wrong with giving thanks for what you have and being grateful for your friends and family. You sir, are quite bigoted. Like that is the most bigoted thing I've ever heard. Also sushi is American in a way, all food can and will be American, meat pies are also American. Americans don't bake cherry pies, where does that stereotype come from.

@@_Shadbolt_ that is not a word, bigoted means to show prejudice towards those who are members of a specific group. Everything you said is prejudice against Americans, ergo, you are bigoted. Any and every food can and will be considered American to some degree; sushi has the California roll, which was made by Japanese Americans to placate American tastes. America took nothing, people came to America and made sushi American. That is the art of America, any and all food can and will be American.

@@_Shadbolt_ I kind of suspected as much, I make a past time out of replying to comments I think are trolls, sometimes trolls say very entertaining things. We could have kept it going a little more, I was exaggerating about the "everything can and will be American". "Smalligot" was a good pun btw, I'll remember that one if I ever feel like messing with someone. Sometimes trolls double down and that is when things get really funny. But seriously, is there a stereotype about Americans baking cherry pies?

Europe exported so much religion that they don't have enough to go around for themselves.

2:56 Suburban sprawl and lack of public transport. While public transport in US is bad in general, it's especially bad in certain places (Honorable mention to a certain Texan city) Basically if more people are driving, there will be more pedestrian fatalities.

My theory for pedestrian fatality rates being higher in the south is rather boring, but it probably means it's got some truth: it's warmer for more of the year. I theorize it's less about worse drivers, and more about there being more pedestrians for 1/3 to 1/4 of the year than in the north, where when it gets cold people stay inside or in their cars.

"Stop reading your bible when you're driving" Too political

Hey I like that “0.99 in Pluto years”. New standard of time measurement.

Ain't no way Maryland is only 18th most dangerous place for pedestrians, like on the news there is always an accident involving a pedestrian 20 separate times a day, and thats only the stuff that hits the news in the DC area of Maryland.

Religion has caused tensions with groups with values that are against or are not allowed in that religion. We need to move toward a more secular society and better ourselvs.

17:45 Thanksgiving: I think listing "the Netherlands" is a bit overdoing it. There is ONE church in ONE town where on the American Thanksgivingday a service is held in commemoration of the Pilgrims who migrated to Plymouth. And there are some Orthodox Protestant Churches who have a "thanksgiving day" which has nothing to do with the American version and it only means an extra Churchday for them. It is not a public holiday, in fact I only found out because this item confused me 18:55 Pluto is a country now?

The first map is by congressional districts, not counties

Wow I'm so engaged by the video that I comment. Such high quality!

You showed an interesting map of the planets and where Uranus was at some point 😮

The sad reason why the homicide rates are higher in the south is because of poverty and depending where you are it’s the poor part of the U.S which leads to more crime.

17:54 I just want to say, we really don't celebrate thanksgiving in the Netherlands, at least not in the north. I just read an article about it from the Dutch national news, it's sparsely celebrated as an excuse for people to eat a lot of food and it is promoted by a turkey meat selling company. lol

Florida's highways are some of the fastest in the US, possibly contributes to pedestrian car accidents

Probably not, unless there are a whole lot of pedestrians walking along the highways. Most collisions with pedestrians occur on town and city streets, because a) that's where most of the people are, b) that's where sight lines tend to be shortest, and c) that's where there are more obstacles (buildings, signs, fire hydrants, other cars, etc.) preventing drivers from taking evasive action.
