Wyoming is a shit hole so it figures it's dominated by right wing morons. The tallest building in Wyoming isn't in Cheyenne, it's a 12 story dorm in Laramie at UW. The state is basically sage brush and maga posters. Wyoming could be the #1 producer of wind energy in this country but the yokel residents keep voting it down because the m'oil tookrjerbs crowd can't read or think logically. If we had to get rid of a state completely Wyoming would be top of my list. There must be a ton of lead in the water out there.
Nothing I said applies to Yellowstone. Yellowstone is beautiful.
Gonna have to disagree with you on Wyoming being a complete lost cause since fucking Utah exists. A lot of the same issues but with a larger population and an economy to be annoying about it. At least Wyoming could become better with population migration meanwhile Utah is basically on a ticker until the Great Salt lake dries up or the have a water crisis because of lake powel drying up.
Well, have I got some news for you!
Wait it's been a minute has it actually started to dry up proper?
Can't have more than a couple years left from what I last saw but don't quote me because I'm not positive.
Oh yeah I was already aware of that. Funny and sad thing is that it's %100 avoidable even with global warming since as I understand it most of the issue is due to too much agriculture, cut the agriculture down to only local production and the problem would most likely solve itself problem is Mormons have a tendency of not giving a fuck exhausting the local environment so I doubt they will do anything unless forced. Fun fact back in the 1800s and early 1900s the Mormons in my area were defacto banned from renting or leasing grazing lands because they would almost always over graze so nobody would work with them, combine that with their propensity for cattle russling and it's no wonder a lot of them are buried in unmarked graves.
