I got a notice of a radio story on our NPR, about Idaho having the lowest wage of any state in the west something to do with most Idahoans living on minimum wage and not much better.
So I filed it , I thought , but now can’t find it. So I searched NPR’s data base but still couldn’t find it, must have been a quirk or something, but the news isn’t news , since I see it everywhere. Not that there are not extremely good jobs in Idaho, there are and good paying ones way above minimum wage, but most here are happy with fast food wages since many are so scared to advance beyond that, even considering ones that require some measure of mental competency or research, and Heavens sake if its in the arts and movies. Wonder why there aren’t more films, TV shows and the like shot here in Idaho? The results are from an antiquated Governor, and a mediocre legislature. Back when Dirk Kempthorne was Governor, we had a vibrant economy, an active film commission, and a big arts movement. The Ann Morrison Arts Center off of Boise State is an example. Boise State had a vo-tech style media skills course.
But when it comes to data searches, I get to feeling sometimes that when a story like that comes up, what you read once is gone quick, usually done at the demand of some Idaho politician trying to save his or her job as a Legislator. After all don’t want to tarnish Idaho's reputation any further. After all , Idaho, especially Pocatello, its reported has the slowest Internet speeds in the nation, ranked at number 3 slowest. We have a dominant religious order that’s getting weaker, but still intimidates most, that says not in my backyard, or not in my town and many in the circles of control fear to go against.
While I believe in prayer before a government meeting, schools etc. Religion of any kind should not dictate what the greater population wants. Such has been 3/4’s of the problem of HazzardAyre from germinating and coming into harvest faster.
Hey I love farming etc, but I think there’s a life beyond that. When our sister neighbor state south of us, is bubbling in prosperity and dig this, our sister programming station there got on air much faster and has its people in place, in fact both genders especially women were in studio within 7 months, not 3-1/2 years like here and we’re still looking. Right in the middle of so called Mormon country, we do better? Is there something wrong here? Getting a racy ad on Comcast was as easy as making a phone call, the illustrious toew smooch happened within two weeks, all in what would be a taboo, area. And we can’t get that here?
Once this ice break is broken I have no doubt those who would not step up will be lined up around the block, but again I regress and off topic.
I think that services from all web services that get pressured to remove or omit something under threats, or even court action, is ignoring the freedom of speech.
If its online and you want it, best save it in your downloads as it most likely wont be there in the morning or even just a few hours.
, Long day today, I’m in Bed.
