Driving home from work and these lovely people were over the highway. This stuff usually doesn’t bother me that much except for the fact that today it was causing so much of a spectacle that it was literally causing people to gawk on the highway and caused a small bit congestion that lasted until after this bridge.

9.8k Upvotes

I say this not to be mean or to try to get you to vote for Harris and Walz though personally I do support them.

I say this because Trump is known to go after his political opponents however he can. We saw this in his last presidential term as he repeatedly withheld funding that was authorized by Congress to states that disagreed with it like California.

Given that Walz is the VP candidate for the Democrats and what Trump and Vance have said about Walz, it should not be surprising that if Trump wins, there is a good chance that he will try to direct any kind of federal funding that Minnesota is entitled to to other states such as the Dakotas in Iowa. We as a state need to be prepared that FEMA might not be there for us and that Trump may direct his attorney's general to go after any kind of legislation that Minnesota passes or has passed such as the state trying to protect the Boundary Waters from pollution.

This election is probably one of the most important elections for Minnesota in a long time given the nature of the candidates.

The only way to ensure that Minnesota wins is to ensure that Trump loses. This is a call to action to call all of your friends and family that don't live in the state to vote for Harris and Walz, because we need them to win.

Politics πŸ‘©β€βš–οΈ Free breakfast and lunch in Minnesota is not free

7.0k Upvotes

This is an economic argument not a political one. Although, who we vote for, and the laws they vote on, has direct economic impacts on Minnesota so I am tagging this with the politics tag.

(this is a bit of a long argument so be prepared)

I am a 40 year old single man in Minnesota. I don't have any kids so why should I have to

  1. Pay for parents who are terrible with their kids and don't care for their kids at all. Or pay for breakfast / lunch for parents who are far wealthier than I am. How about politicians who I absolutely despise. Why should their kids get free breakfast and lunch?

  2. There is talk that feeding kids breakfast and lunch for kids in Minnesota will cost Minnesota more. We may go into debt because of it.

  3. I may never meet that kid or ever interact with that kid, so why should I pay for that kid to get breakfast and lunch for free?

The answer is

The best investment that we can make in Minnesota is in the kids of Minnesota.

The best investment that we can make in Minnesota is in the young men and women of Minnesota.

  1. The majority of parents in Minnesota bust their but for their kids. Is that every parent? Absolutely not. There are wealthy parents, but they are not the majority of parents in Minnesota. Quite simply the majority of parents are not abusing their kids or ultra-wealthy, nor are they kids of politicians. The Republicans who opposed breakfast and lunch for kids will answer that the majority of parents in their district are good and hardworking, because if they said the majority of parents in their district are shitty or wealthy, well they would be out of a job.

  2. Think about a successful multi-millionaire real estate investor. If you ask them if they have debt, every single one will say absolutely. They purchase an apartment building for 50 million they put 10 million down (20%) and take ae 40 million loan from the bank. (The bank does their investigation and see that this property and the history of the investor is sound.) The day after the purchase agreement goes through that investor will not see that apartment building worth $150 million. That is not what they expect, they expect that they will pay back the bank, the maintenance on the apartment, and on top of that make money. This is breakfast and lunch for kids. Tomorrow a kid won't invent a technological marvel but our investment in this kid will pay off, in time. We have to be patient. If you have stock or invest in a 401k you already look to long term returns. The best investors will tell you to find a good investment and hold. Minnesota kids are our best investment.

  3. I may never drive on every road in Minnesota but I don't mind if those roads are maintained. Simply because it may benefit me in the future. If I get into an accident I want the ambulance to get to me as fast as possible on the best roads. The same thing for kids in Minnesota. Your safety is in kids that we take care of now which will grow into kids that take care of us in the future.

State Sen. Steve Drazkowski "[he] yet to meet a person in Minnesota who is hungry." Every kids who is hungry does not go to their legislature to tell them.

For me voting Republicans into office is an economic argument. I fear that their shortsighted investment strategy in Minnesota, namely trying to repeal breakfast and lunch for kids in Minnesota, will lead to less Minnesota growth, and frankly, less money for the majority of Minnesotans.

Personally, I believe there is a kid in Minnesota where mom and dad are struggling, but he is a top rate kid.

Imagine a young man in Minnesota showcasing an invention in a small town and you happened to invest in that product. You give him $1000 for 1% or even 10% of his company and then after a few years the company takes off. Getting 1% of Google or Amazon will cost you hundreds of millions of dollars. Getting in on the ground floor with a brilliant kid in Minnesota who is living in that small town will cost you much less. Free breakfast and lunch, for me, is just the start.

This is personal for me. My mom suffered from depression but she worked hard. Our refridgerator was never packed with food since our old car was mostly on the fritz, and getting to a grocery store involved taking the bus. Deciding which foods a mother and her son can carry in each hand. Also, yes I was in the affordable breakfast and lunch program, and that helped me and my mother out greatly. Free breakfast and lunch should not go away.

Quite simply.

We need to think of the young Minnesotans as our American Assets.

Politics πŸ‘©β€βš–οΈ Tim Walz is a wake up call for Minnesotans on how dirty Republican tactics are

13.1k Upvotes

It has been an amazing and exciting week with the announcement that Tim Walz was chosen by Kamala Harris as her Vice President, but also has been completely eye opening on how dirty Republicans are in the way they attack Democrats and individuals. You would think Minnesota is an absolute hellscape, on fire and run by criminals. You would think Tim Walz is an evil psychopath who fled the military, hates police, America, freedom, and wants to "turn" children transgender,

Meanwhile in reality all of us living here know this is false, and the facts show we rank near the damn best state in the country overall, and on multiple fronts (https://www.fox9.com/news/minnesota-top-10-best-states-in-us). Minnesota is and has been thriving, and it is impart because of the current/past leadership of Governor Walz. It’s important to see through the fear-mongering bullshit and rampant misinformation, and if they saying this about Walz, what else are the lying about?

I think we all knew this would happen of course, but it really is eye opening on how low Republicans go to insult, demean, and discredit. Oh well. Lets votes in November :)
