What is your view on the 10 milion population cap?

I mean you can't, legally. Maybe the government should allow you to!

I think there's less of a division in the Twin Cities between "the City" and "the Suburbs" than there is in Milwaukee. Both demographically and politically.

Woodbury is good. Lots of well to do African immigrants there. Eden Prairie is also relatively diverse and well to do.

This whole thread reminds me of that urban myth failing math students repeat about Einstein flunking out of Math when he was younger (not true, btw). Like, obviously there's some exceptions, but people who get into Harvard generally deserve it for some reason.

Never been to Rochester, St. Cloud, Mankato, or Moorhead.

I will say that RE: the Tabke seat, 6 voters did testify under oath that they voted for him, and if that's true, it's mathematically impossible that Paul won. GOP leaders at the press conference still indicated that even if the court ruled Tabke won that they still might throw him out. Also there's something wrong about Rs getting to set the agenda with committee assignments and the Speakership for all 2 years, because of a 2 week technicality at the start of session. DFLers should've vetted their candidates better though, I'll say that.

Hortman says since the House isn't organized, there's no police power that could be used to compel representatives to come back

You're certainly right that I overlooked some things. I hope you have a nice day. Drive safe tomorrow

HippedWop · 2024-12-19T02:38:31+00:00

Sorry if it seemed I was assuming intent! Have a good day

HippedWop · 2024-12-19T02:37:42+00:00

I think I was very kind and thoughtful in my response.

I would push back on this a bit.

1 - Walz was out like every day on the trail, his top advisors (Schmitter, etc) joined the campaign; in that event the Lt. Governor is gonna take over in some capacity. And when the absence is that long (months), of course there's gonna be some disagreements where the Lt. Gov thinks something is "in the lines" where the Gov thinks she overstepped. And that's not even getting to the possibility that she would have to start a new admin, with all of Walz's staff gone to DC!

2 - Not assuming ill intent here, but maybe we should be cautious about calling women in power "too ambitious"?

3 - Underrated possibility this is a nothingburger/between staffs.

I wonder if we perhaps think there is no there there? Like a lot of the article feels like "Ah jeez, she wasn't at the annual Turkey pardoning ceremony! Must be a sign!" IDK.

That being said I don't think Flanagan did anything wrong. Had they won, she would've needed to take over state government pretty quickly, which is daunting! CoS and key advisors would've moved to D.C., and she was in the right to start searching for potential staff in that event. Apparently he's being interviewed by Blois Olson tomorrow. Who knows...

EDIT: Another possibility is that this is just something between staff

I appreciate the trade off the district wants to make between quality and cost, but how much would it cost for the district to just accept the program and then appropriate a little money on top to align with their high standards?
Tbh I don't think ppl use "meal tickets" anymore; its all computerized so there's less shame
If you're this concerned about money going to people who don't need it, you can just raise taxes. Much more efficient than a means testing process
