The experts have spoken, and apparently everything will kill you. We consult North Idaho's snow authorities, examine Panhandle Health's latest warning, and marvel at the gubmint's endless search for new things to regulate. Idaho lawmakers discover the economic consequences of immigration enforcement, NPR finds an entire racial constituency willing to speak through a handful of activists, and the bees are having a rough winter. Meanwhile, Post Falls wrestles with Juneteenth and Columbus Day, proposes celebrating America's tax rebellion with taxpayer-funded monuments, and Idaho's education bureaucracy warns that modest budget cuts will bring civilization to its knees. The messaging is clear: Without expert supervision and a bottomless gubmint budget, Idahoans might accidentally start managing their own lives.
