Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador sues OpenAI to protect consumers from the existential dangers of artificial intelligence...by having the company write the state a very large check. We consult the accused chatbot, which proves considerably less entertaining than the lawsuit itself. Meanwhile, NPR discovers influenza, Costco abandons Eagle, Idaho's snowplows await their annual naming ceremony, and Halloween festivities in St. Maries provoke warnings about Satan's influence on Main Street. Plus, Idaho residents battle over Prop 1 campaign signs, Hayden's million-dollar policing arrangement acquires another layer of bureaucratic oversight, and the Idaho Department of Freedom prepares to regulate your independence. The gubmint is here to protect you from everything except itself. Please remit payment. Or else.

NO ID Episode 45 - Absinthe and Midwifery

A seasonal river fluctuation becomes a crisis, a health warning becomes a symposium, and every problem somehow seems to call for yet another government solution. This week, we deconstruct the Spokane River "drying up", the push to change regulations on the Post Falls Dam, and Idaho doctors gathering to warn about the health risks of "climate", wildfire smoke, heat, drought, and...nuclear holocaust. We also examine Idaho's housing affordability problem, the role of zoning and regulation in limiting housing supply, and the political battle over who should be allowed to own homes. In the second half, we dig into ICE enforcement in Post Falls, the growing bureaucratic burden on workers and small businesses, the sudden resignation of three Panhandle Health executives, and the story of a Clark Fork coffee shop shut down after running afoul of health regulations. Along the way, we discuss property taxes, government bureaucracy, digital money, and the recurring and ultimate NO ID question: Are our problems actually being solved by government, or are we just creating more government to deal with the problems government created?
