"Nothing can be done", says country that didn't do anything.

    I was in a government building in Idaho a few months ago to pay a parking fine when an email went out to the staff that the mask mandate was lifted for government employees. In the most surreal moment of my life, people around me began tearing off their masks in celebration and spreading the news across the building that the pandemic was over.

    The following week Idaho was reported to have the highest COVID transmission rate in the entire world.

          Do you work as a Chud-chronicler or something? Like why would you go to either of those places?

            I grew up in Texas and have extended family I'm living with now.

            My father lives in Idaho and is disabled, and needs help getting around.

            I was homeless in Idaho for a few months last year, so I drove back to Texas. I can't afford my own place somewhere else.

        Really beautiful nature scene, thanks in no small party due to the chronic inability of state residents to encourage people to move there.

      This would be a fairly funny bit if not for the fact that it really happened. Continuing to avoid Idaho, got it. :cringe:
