On the heels of one story about how the local county is becoming more left-of-center, here is one on how the whole state has set itself as an enclave for those merely trying to be their best selves.
Yeah, that’s it. No agenda, not trying to piss anyone off. Just trying to rugged individual in ways narrow minded folks do not understand, but should agree is their right to do so. But intellectual comprehension is not anything I have expected from conservatives for a very, very long time.
Hmm, the key takeaway here is that smarter people don’t vote for insurrectionists. Mostly, because giving a shit pays dividends to society and makes a better community.
Funny how a lot of folks can’t figure that out. Glad we moved here when we did.
Admittedly, one of the weirdest things I noticed upon moving here was the bagged milk at the gas stations. I got used to it. Never used it, but got used to it.
But now it is going away. Time marches on.
I mean, there are a lot of reasons I would never vote for a Republican, but this one happened in our state this week.
I have been to Brownsdale, MN and have worked with folks from there. Frankly, this sexist attitude does not surprise me in the least.
“My name is Laura Haynor, and I’m a Minnesota resident and a Minneapolis-based pilot for Delta Airlines,” Haynor said in her introduction.
Almost immediately afterward, Senator Dornink asks, “Can you tell me what a typical work week looks like for you as a stewardess?”
Haynor responded, “I’m a first officer for Delta?”
“I’m sorry?” Dornink asked.
“I’m a pilot.”
Bad look, but that’s about all they have these days, isn’t it?
Apparently you gotta be rich to be poor in this state. At least $120,000 a year for a family of four. Nuts.
Imagine that math in the treason states. Sheesh.
We live here partly because this place leads the way when it can. Technology is a good place these days.
Snowplow names aren’t all just for fun and games here in the Northwoods.
A starter guide to this both native and local.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
No, not *that* guy. The green one.
I learned the police had it out for me back when I was a brown teenage kid in Pasadena, TX. They absolutely *loved* to show up in force, shove our faces into the gravel and put a boot on our heads. Good times.
Turns out a few years ago, Minnesota learned this the hard way. At least this is going to court. I have low expectations but maybe this is the start of something changing.
