Dr. LeBeau out of Bismarck with good insight today at Burgum's press conference.

Agreed. Either you believe masks work (Burgum) or you're simply making life as inconvenient as possible in order to make it appear you care (Walz).

I guess I don't consider mask wearing to be a privacy issue, but I also never stated support for mask mandates. Mask wearing (by choice) is incredibly simple and an easy way to get certain people to leave their basement and back to work and shopping, which we all want/need.

Of course. We crossed it after 9/11 and haven't looked back.

Certain cleaning solutions IT staff use on iPads and other electronics can cause a false positive test for gunpowder/explosive residue. It's not a pleasant experience.

TSA does feed our fear of terrorists and we subject ourselves to inappropriate searches and pat-downs from them. The invasion of privacy has simply become an accepted part of life. For some reason, having my crotch scanned and patted down by a stranger is ok and a necessary evil, but placing a piece of cloth over my face is where we draw the line. Based on Burgum's new quarantine rule exempting mask-wearers, it seems the lawmaker (technically the governor isn't supposed to create law, but emergency declaration = nobody cares about checks and balances) is hoping masks will allow decisions to be made without fear. Mask mandates aren't causing closures, positive COVID cases are (right or wrong).

Most of those charts prove that mask mandates don't work, but they don't necessarily prove that proper mask-wearing doesn't work. I'm only pro-mask so far as it gives some people a sense of security and makes them more comfortable going to businesses and living their lives, which society needs them to do. TSA doesn't really work either, but I'm guessing most people still want security checks at airports.

It was in the past, so it must be in the future. That's a pessimistic take on the advancement of society. Should there be a voting test? No, but it'd be nice to weed out the morons of every race.

Depends on the test.

And this is why citizens should have to pass a test in order to vote.

Agreed.

Maybe you should email him and get his thoughts.

There's a little oil up there, but not Bakken oil. An old Dakota Student article mentions he came from a farm family and a quick google search shows he's had a grandparent or 2 pass in the last couple years. If he did inherit money, I'd say it's a positive that he's invested it in Grand Forks.

Looks great! Glad they maintained some seating under the stairs

This one's actually pretty funny though.

Thorson is a fairly popular last name, so who knows, but here's his facebook. https://www.facebook.com/pg/KyleforND/about/?ref=page_internal

The odds are in his favor.

Not if you're unable to find staff. Been a nurse shortage for decades and the pandemic hasn't improved things.
