It wasn't a diversion.
South Carolina's government is determined to show just how stupid they
can get, all the way from "Appalachain Trail" governor, to Lt Governor
running for governor calling kids in school lunch programs "stray
animals," to state legislatures who pass laws that pander to the panic-
stricken scared of their shadows.

begging for money.

I don't know what needs to be frozen, and what doesn't.
