I live in Wyoming and am here to tell you that you are wrong.
There are NINE of us.
Cool.  Now do computers.  Wyoming definitely doesn't need computers. >

Cutting them off the internet would help bring them back to reality >

You'd have to also get rid of Faux News and right-wing radio. >

You would, but they’d be forced to go back to spreading the news they heard by word of mouth, and a lot of the time when people say these things out loud and hear themselves say it, they realize how stupid and ridiculous they sound. But social media doesn’t have that buffer >

They’ll bring back the Pony Express. >

Doubtful. They hate public services, especially ones that help deliver things to people in rural areas >

Unless it’s the fence out ordinances— why make ranchers pay for miles of fencing when you can pass laws that force the government to do it? >

Oh yeah government help for ranchers and large landowners is a-ok. Especially in Wyoming. Large land operations are the number one interest that the WYGOP represents >

I was astonished when I found out about fence out. Where I live we have fence in laws. Blew my dang mind. >

Yeah that’s fucking nuts. Smh >


WHEREAS, oil and gas production has long been one of Wyoming's proud and valued industries; and

You can stop reading right there. >

Wyoming is coal country >

What is it we use coal for again?….ah, yes, electricity. >

The good coal. The dirty coal they sell to china. Last plant that i worked at had a special room on the conveyor coming from the mine. It constantly x-rays the coal to determine its radiation levels. Good coal goes to the plant, dirty coal went on a train. >

Good effort but not daft enough. Bear in mind the last president of the USA thought that you get clean coal by washing it. >

There is a difference between introducing a bill and passing a bill.  Wacko legislators can introduce whatever bill they want, but it has to clear committee, house, senate and the governor’s desk before it becomes law. >

I think what’s more important than that is that manufacturers are phasing out ICE vehicles before 2035.
There will simply be no new ICE vehicles rolling off the line to purchase. 
It’s that pesky old free market thing these people claim to love! >

You're forgetting that they still have horses.  So, no problem. >

Crazy they didn’t outlaw equines to block the advent of the automobile.
At least then they’d have some precedence! >

Isn't illegal to ride a horse on a lot of roads? That's basically what you are talking about. >

I mean, I’m obviously being sarcastic.
But if they’re outlawing cars in this insane hypothetical, obviously horses are going to be allowed on the road.
Which are all made out of hay bales. >

Yes, just until they find a large lithium deposit. >

Still need little African children to scratch up cobalt with their bare hands, unsustainable either way >

Except the new dry cathodes don't use cobalt. >

This is such a childish piece of legislature. “Hur hur California banning gas cars let’s ban electric huuruuduurueuuuuurrr” - some fucking Wyoming guy. >

I mean really who cares? The states population is 5 and three are cows.
