NO ID Episode 19 - Jansport Inferno
The Idaho Statesman discovers the horrors of government making medical decisions for people, apparently having misplaced its coverage of the previous five years. We revisit the COVID-era coercion apparatus, question the sudden enthusiasm for medical freedom, and conclude that Republicans and Democrats are remarkably consistent in their commitment to telling everyone else what to do. Meanwhile, Idaho eliminates license plate stickers without eliminating surveillance, Senator Melissa Wintrow warns that budget cuts are literally killing people, and legislators consider making their own ethics complaints less public. Plus, a capybara café, the Coeur d'Alene Tribe's water rights settlement, and another reminder that government spending is apparently the only thing keeping civilization from collapsing. What more data do you need, peasant?
