Oh, my word. Gov. Beshear has dismissed state workers AGAIN today (and possibly tomorrow) due to "bad weather." Well, at present, it's dry, and the sun is peeking out; what a scaredy-cat alarmist! I'm sure he's just reliving his glory days from Covid when he assured us on a daily basis how much he cares. Also known as "Mr. Rogers." I call him the Helicoptor Parent of Kentucky, and too much of his fan base just eats that up. Up next...a daily televised appearance reminding us to button up our overcoats and take good care of ourselves!

Is that the problem, or is the U.S. full of Young to middle aged people afraid of their own shadows.....?
I mean, I don't care for Andy myself....but he's catering to a group of people younger then himself.

To give you an idea....people in Their say 20's to 30's were posting vids on TicTok, and they all had a flu....all the symptoms and were asking in their vids, does anyone else have this strange illness going around, and then went about describing their symptoms. I mean, get over it, you have a flu? Were you never sick before? Geeze Louise, I don't believe what babies we've raised? But yes, he is catering to his groupies....who are afraid of their own shadows.

Here's another example, last year, some college girls were renting a house and they heard noises in the basement....they got scared, but instead of calling 911 she called her mother and asked her what she should do?

This is today's world, people who don't know how to problem solve, b/c their parents did everything for them.
So yeah, your right, he has become a Helicoptor Parent...

This is true; people don't seem to grow up anymore! That's quite an astute observation, and I'd say you're absolutely spot on there. I wonder if he's reading the room and it's part of his strategy to ascend to power (it's worked so far?) or just his inborn nature, LOL. The puzzling thing is the way people middle-aged and even older welcome a warm and fuzzy dictatorship.
