Damn.
Hard agree.
It really does have some breathtaking landscapes... but it also really is largely populated by ... pretty much direct descendants of either the Klan, or the Mormons that were too insane for the mainline Mormons.
I lived in small town Idaho. It was atrocious, I would not recommend.
I'm there right now. These people cannot fucking drive.
How to fix America in roughly one, simple, extremely unpopular step:
Literally everyone with a drivers liscense has to fully retest, written and driving, every single year.
Make the tests cost nothing, and make it so (if it isn't the case already), every state has a non drivers liscense ID, and no, no you cannot farm out the actual tests to some kind of contracted private entity.
Drivers liscenses always expire one year after issue date. Non drivers liscense IDs? 10 years.
Within 5 years I'm guessing the number of people regulalry driving cars drops by about 50%.
Infrastructure degrades less quickly.
Personal finances improve as less people are routinely cleaned out by hilariously overpriced predatory car loans.
Car insurance rates and traffic accidents drop dramatically.
People begin to demand functional public transit, walk/bike compatible urban layouts and renovations.
Public transit and walkable places force people to have a higher baseline for general social decency, result in people realizing that physically experiencing other people is fundamentally not optional in this thing we call 'society'.
Hell, even oil becomes relatively less expensive, thus somewhat moderating general inflation.
... All of this, something like this would happen, if we were just actually serious about getting and keeping incompetent drivers off the road.
Their body their choice.
It's a bit early, but they might win a Darwin award yet. Still a thing are they?
"I won that tournament! Fuggin' Chuck Darwin."
If not, I'm sure it's because they had to call it quits due to the sheer volume of candidates increasing faster than they could keep up with for the past decade or so..
So much of modern conservatism is based on intentionally un-learning the hard-learned lessons if the past.
Everyone in Idaho should drink raw milk
My initial reaction to this article is, "Good."
There's a fucking reason we pasteurize milk you ignorant fucks!
That's what Big Pasteur wants you to think!
Killing of the farmers will be a new excuse to increase the price of food
You know, its funny.
In many ways, we in the US are just doing the 1910's, 20's, 30's, all over again.
A big thing back then is what we now call scientific racism, eugenics.
Generally speaking, it was a bunch of unfounded psuedo science that purportrd to stem from Darwin's theories, but... didn't really actually have any sensible data or theory backing it up.
... the difference is that this time, eugenics part two electric boogaloo... its largely, not entirely, but to a great extent being used by ignorant bigots to hurt themselves, instead of other kinds of people.
So... would the meta of this be that eugenics and psuedo science and anti-intellectualism actually are a functional, definable evolutionary or maybe social mechanism, it just... basically works in the opposite way that morons think it does?
Time is a flat circle, we all know it.
Ah, the ironies of self aware mortality...
Not enough. More!
Idiots meet consequences
I drove through Idaho.
Are there 60 people there, outside of Boise? I remember driving for miles and miles without seeing another car or even having the horizon change. Nebraska and South Dakota were populous and varied by comparison!
RFK Jr., the DAD (Double Agent Democrat) lol
It’s hilarious that he was supposed to spoil democrats and ended up spoiling Trump- so they offered him the current job.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
And what an asshole for all of those things.
Stop. Drinking. Raw. Milk. Pasturise the milk! Lol.
Uh, wow, okay buddy, do your research! You can drink raw milk just fine! You just gotta heat it up to kill all the bad bacteria! I just wish there was some sort of way to do it faster than boiling, but obviously science hasn't evolved that far, and I need my milk to prove I'm not a DUMBOCRAT (A lot of people don't know dumb has a b in it. Why don't my kids talk to me anymore?)
I've had enough. I don't care. If stupid people want to drink raw milk, take dewormer, don't vaccinate, etc. let them do it.
That’s the rule. That’s the goal now.
Does their health insurance cover "stupid"?
they're American. if they have it, it covers nothing.
Mine covers everything. I'm sorry
Well…it claims to cover everything. Until something happens. Then suddenly the cup of water you got was out of network and the fart you did was denied because it required prior authorization.
That seems far fetched. I've not had that experience.
Ah yes, the millions of people who have shared their stories about their experiences are invalid and ignored because you haven’t personally experienced it. Standard Republican logic.
I didn't say anything to invalidate anything. You're completely wrong about everything. Take care now. B'bye.
I must have misunderstood what you meant by “far-fetched” then, because to me that reads like you saying the endless stories aren’t true.
