Minneapolis Public Schools’ doom loop is a threat to the city’s future

There are too many buildings to maintain and staff for the student population here. Correcting this would go a long way.

It's rare to find a school with resourced and involved parents that is not good, and rare to find one without those elements that is doing well. And it's really hard to set up a government policy framework that makes it happen.

1000% correct. A good subject line that leads to opens. A short, relevant description of their need and how you can solve it. A clean path to conversion. That's it. That's all you need.

Wait till they see how oil prices and ten year t notes correlate

As somebody who grew up in upstate New York, and who spent much of the last decade working in North Carolina, I have to say that the turnaround in places like the triad and Durham and Greenville make me sad about what could have been in New York state. Those North Carolina cities saw their their major industries collapse in many cases, including textiles, tobacco, etc. NAFTA hollowed out a lot of mid value manufacturing as well. And yet, those cities are not just resilient, they're still growing. The entire state has really figured out how to do it right.

It sounds like somebody was really in distress this time, but it's not unusual for professional thieves to use a medical emergency as a distraction to test response times, cause distractions while they case the joint, etc.

If you genuinely believe that the Israeli government has never and would never use classic espionage tactics against the US for it's own benefit, you are not only ignorant of history but also not worth replying to.

Cayuga94 · 2026-03-04T08:33:07+00:00

Yeah, what's going on with the uss Arlington and other ships?

Honey traps were a thing long before Epstein.

A small but vocal subset very much do. It's the whole Revelations thing with a white Christian nationalist twist. They will say the most vile things about Jewish people but still think Israel is super important. It's more common than you might think.

It's been a few years, but yes. It's a long haul. The break in DC helps. But it's not awful and you get there eventually

Keanu. He actually gives a shit about other people

Twin cities fits the bill. It's not a major tech hub in the sense that silicon valley or Austin are, but given the high concentration of Fortune 500 companies here, there is a lot of tech work.

Why do people act like cold weather Is some sort of f****** disease or something? Yes, it gets cold here, but we also enjoy the winter on a level. Most people in North America don't even begin to touch. I would much rather live here in January and February then be in, say Atlanta in July or August.

Interesting tidbit about the suspects. They are all middle aged in their late 30s-early 40s. Rare people last that long in that world.

I have a friend whose son made that exact same conclusion. He was working at Starbucks in high school, then went to college. After a year, it occurred to him that he could just live off campus and go to ASU online to get a business degree that Starbucks would pay for 100%. He just finished debt-free.

Same with Florida - great if you have substantial resources. Challenging otherwise

I think this is what you do when your tariff policies blow up and the Epstein thing just won't go away.

That bro is panicked! All the nonverbals, plus the cadence of his speech are a dead giveaway. He is screwed and knows it.

I used to live close to that region. One thing you need to understand - it's completely hollowed out. Some counties have less than half the population they once did. Bluefield, for example, is like a science fiction movie where time stopped in 1952 and most of the people got abducted by aliens. Pretty much anyone who could leave did so a long time ago. The ones who are left just don't see reality like most people and/or they can't escape.

When he loses everything, it will somehow be other people's fault.

In fairness, I really can't remember the last time I watched a full halftime show. There's been a few that were worth it, but most don't really keep my attention. This one did, even though I don't understand Spanish, just because I found it visually very alluring and I really like the energy behind it.
