45 - Absinthe and Midwifery

Value-4-Value 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?

Value-4-Value NO ID Episode 43 - Tyranny is a Software Patch Away Executive Producers: Anonymous Kevin Killian A rare NO ID guest on this episode: Tyler Cain, the man behind DeFlock Idaho, joins us for an extended deconstruction of automated license plate readers, mass surveillance, and the increasingly blurry line between public safety and government monitoring. We dig into Post Falls and Mayor Randy Westlund, Motorola vs. Flock, a wrongful accusation involving Flock cameras, Tyler's fight with city governments, Idaho's surveillance laws, data sharing with outside agencies, and the argument that surveillance systems can't simply be fixed with “guardrails.” Along the way, we examine the language used to sell government power, the public's changing attitude toward surveillance, and what happens when citizens actually start pushing back.
