Brookings is living the nightmare

Maybe it's in the water.
Miss South Dakota USA, Shania Knutson, has been suspended from her role as she faces petty theft charges in Brookings County. [Miss South Dakota USA facing petty theft charges in Brookings County]
Okay, it's the home of far too many old, fat, white people already; so, why would any business locate in The Peoples' Republic of Brookings anyway? Because South Dakota's lack of environmental oversight has everything to do with offshore and out of state investors in economic development initiatives.
Riggin Lynn Scheer, from Brookings, South Dakota, has been operating in the midwest under the name “Gordon Kahl,” in homage to the original Kahl who was a neo Nazi and anti-government protester from North Dakota who ultimately was shot and killed by law enforcement during a shootout in northern Arkansas in 1983.

Let's see: the city owns a research park, the hospital, the liquor store, the water, the phone company, the power company, an entertainment venue, the golf course, it's home to South Dakota's largest public university and a federally subsidized cheese and dairy industry.
The class action against Daktronics includes allegations that the Company made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company was experiencing challenges that increased costs, including supply chain disruptions, that impacted Daktronics' ability to fund inventory levels and operations; (2) as a result, it was probable that some portion of the Company's deferred tax assets would not be realized; (3) as a result, Daktronics was reasonably likely to record a material valuation allowance to its deferred tax assets; (4) there were material weaknesses in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting related to income taxes; (5) the foregoing presented liquidity concerns and there was substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, defendant's positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Little wonder the Big Sioux River is a sewer of biblical proportions. Even Mrs. Noem’s secretary of the Department of Ag and No Rules (DANR) is sounding the alarm on the Big Sioux River as more sh!t from subsidized CAFOs despoils the watershed.
Actually, there are hundreds, not dozens of such facilities polluting the state’s rivers and streams. DANR, sometimes referred to as the Department of Ag and No Rules, has internal reports gathering dust that have identified scores of medium and small feedlots that need cleanup.

 South Dakota will flout WOTUS until the cows come home unless or until downstream states cry foul.
One COVID-19 death reported Wednesday in the Department of Health weekly update – the statewide total is now 3153.

Too little, too late?
Avera Behavioral Health of Brookings received $100,000 from the South Dakota Community Foundation to improve and support behavioral and mental health services in the area. [Avera receives $100,000 grant for Brookings mental health services]
Brookings County is not just where I grew up it's home to South Dakota's most pestilent porker.

So, what’s not to like about six (seven? eight?) month winters, rampant racism, chilling effects on civil rights, an extremist legislature, living in a chemical toilet, sacrifice zone, perpetual welfare state and permanent disaster area. 

In South Dakota freedom is just another word for nothing left to choose.
