Back in December, I wrote a piece about the stupidity of forbidding jeans in the workplace.
Just a couple of days ago, I wrote a piece about the stupidity of bemoaning casual dress in America.
Yesterday, a reader sent me this story about North Dakota’s Governor Doug Burgum being asked to leave the North Dakota Senate floor for wearing jeans.
Burgum is a Republican.
Burgum’s preference for jeans and sweaters has reportedly spurred much grumbling at the Capitol among many male lawmakers who wear a suit and tie when the Legislature is in session.
Can you imagine?
The state is facing a one-billion-dollar budget deficit — the largest in the country — and these lawmakers are grumbling about the clothing the governor is wearing.
Middle school nonsense. That’s what this is. Wrapping a floral noose around your neck and throwing a needless coat over your shirt doesn’t make you a better leader.
It simply makes you a better conformer.
