Hey South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri, and Kansas! How are things out in your states? COVID shutdowns, mask mandates, what's going on? We talk a lot about Noem and how SD is literally the promised land. Out in your neck of the woods, how are things REALLY going? What are the policies and the local attitudes? Good job markets in denser populated areas for people with admittedly worthless degrees but know how to focus and work hard?
Asking for . . . . . myself because I've been drinking, the last few days have been icky, and above all else FUCK NEW YORK.
Hailing from Oklahoma. In a city 50k+, masks were mandated by city, 30% abide by it, absolutely no legal enforcement by sheriff or local police. All business open to include restaurants and bars, although I believe there is an arbitrary 11PM curfew on bars. COVID is nocturnal after all.
Big cities slightly more restricted. Oklahoma City requires masks in all businesses, I think everyone complies there. Restaurants are open (haven't been to bars).
We did some Christmas shopping in mall down in Oklahoma City, some chain stores act like morons and only let a limited number of people in at one time. Seems very business specific; how it should. Mall seemed busy, people aren't acting like complete muppets here.
