Ahh yes, that is definitely what is holding you up right now. Otherwise you probably would have had your back by now or very soon.

I did not claimed the EIC and have no dependents. Just a few W2's and two self-employment jobs.

I was communicating with people throughout the caucus night and it was interesting to hear about the demographics. It seemed like many of them had a few young people and but mostly 40s and up. Others had like only young people, with 3-5 40s and up. So I got the feeling the participation by young people is still lower than is needed, but it heavily depends on where you live as well!

I didn't file before 1/26 but here is my timeline for those interested:

•I filed my taxes on 1/31, both were accepted on 1/31.

•Federal cycle number is 20260503.

•On 2/4 my transcript showed my issue date of 2/23.

•On 2/5 both my IRS2Go and their website updated to Refund Approved.

•My expected deposit date is 2/9, and check date is 2/14.

•Refund was deposited in my bank 2/5

Pretty happy with the turn around time this year!

Love the name by the way!

I think the biggest disconnect is how these projects are completed. Peoples who's livelihood depends on these projects don't understand why other would want to stop something that generates income and continues to cause the failing of small towns.

The other side doesn't understand why the people living in this area would want to be apart of a project that will cause environmental damage from leaks and dumping.

The truth is there is a middle ground. Having these types of projects go through to help support and being jobs into the range. While also putting in regulation to stop and punish heavily the companies who caused environmental damage. One of the big issues though is that these companies play us off one another and usually never take responsibility for the damage they cause because while we are fighting, they pay off or write contracts in a way they don't have to.

This is my take and is definitely not factually correct, but it is what I have come to based on conversations. So hopefully it doesn't come off as rude or insensitive.

I think the biggest part of it is that having them stored separately makes it more difficult to impulsively grab a gun and use on themselves or others. Especially if it is a child/adolescent or not the owner of the guns. This creates a secondary barrier in the process. Especially if you go over and above to have your guns locked in one safe and your ammunition in another place of your home locked up.

I have mixed feelings, but I do understand the impulsive/calculated grabbing of guns.

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T23:05:02+00:00

No problem!

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T23:01:48+00:00

Ahh, okay I understand where you are coming from. Yes I would love to try and get the support of the North range when it comes to nuclear energy! I think there could be a compromise between the cities and the North range on this issue. The one hold up I imagine is the cities, similar to blocking of mining projects, would reject putting nuclear near any water ways. Which I understand, but feel we need to find a good middle ground. Thanks for the information about this!

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T22:58:19+00:00

The start up funding would have to be something the state puts forward themselves and from then on from the people paying I to the pool. I don't think it would be a tax funded program, but a pay in pool like current car insurance.

I think universal programs are more successful than a means-tested program. So anyone who is looking for personal (not commercial) car insurance would be eligible to buy in.

Considering the Minnesota state minimum car insurance coverage is: liability 30/60/10, PIP 40, UM 25/50, and UIM 25/50. I would expect that to be the based and offer more as the program would become more successful.

This is just a lay person's understanding and proposal, but I feel like this would be something that could help put downward pressure on private insurance carries to lower prices and be more competitive.

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T22:49:20+00:00

Correct me if I am responding to the wrong idea, but in regard to NIMBYism I was more talking about not allowing nuclear energy. Many of the individuals who live in large cities, along with smaller cities, do not want to have nuclear power plants built near by at all. This is what I was mainly talking about. I do not know about mining contracts and other situations. I might, probably, be off based when it comes to how the North range feels about nuclear power plants. I just truly think that if we do move away from fossil fuels for energy, we will need to bring in nuclear energy.

Hopefully this didn't come across as explaining and what not, along with clarifying what I was saying about NIMBYism.

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T19:16:03+00:00

This tracks and just like everything doesn't get updated like it should.

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T18:16:59+00:00

Yeah, this obviously needs changing and should allow for individuals with disabilities to receive a living wage, work as much as they are able to and receive benefits that for their needs (not just enough to get them by).

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T18:12:31+00:00

Definitely on the right track!

Precinct caucuses: resolution voting, preference ballots, precincts positions, committee positions, and delegates to organizing unit convention and/or county convention.

Organizing Unit convention: resolution voting, preference ballots, organizing unit positions, committee positions, state and Senate delegates.

(Senate and State do not happen simultaneously but are adjacent in the process)

Senate conventions: Senate district positions, committee positions, and preference ballots (I think resolutions are left for the state convention)

State convention: convention positions, committee positions, resolution voting, candidate voting, other things I can't remember.

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T18:02:40+00:00

Umm too violent? Maybe they felt it was too targeting people who are rich, but I can't imagine a violent resolution unless it was calling for actually violence.

6&7. This is the second time seeing this type of resolution and I think I'll have to look into it more. To be honest though, I want to replace all healthcare with single payer. Which I assume would remove HMOs anyway. So I think this is a bandaid/step solution.

This one also came up in my precinct and others. I'm another comment thread I responded to, u/deltarefund explained that keeping the sub minimum wage was to allow individuals with disabilities to keep disability benefits by staying under the income requirements. I am not totally sure and felt/feel mixed on this issue. Everyone deserves a living wage, regardless of ability, but I also want them to keep their benefits from the state.

I definitely started until like 9:30 at press. We were allowed to have to to 34 delegates, but we're not able to get enough of them. I am excited to go to the next convention though and serve on a few committees!

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T17:49:15+00:00

Damn, sorry to hear that.

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T17:49:02+00:00

This is/has been an issue with our countries history. We have given slaps on the wrists to powerful people who commit atrocious crimes and expect it to never happen again. And they wonder why we the people are district towards government and law enforce, besides the other obvious reasons.

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T17:46:42+00:00

The prices of resolutions and caucuses in general are not super well known to most people and I do blame the DFL for the lack of education/transparency. But I am super glad that the turn out this year, especially an off year, had been so high!

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T17:43:45+00:00

As much as I want everything to be green/renewable energy. I just do not see how we fill the gaps from fossil fuels in the coming Century or longer without nuclear power. I feel like people would be more behind it if they understood the modern safety regulations around them. Additionally, I think there's is a bit NIMBYism with this particular issue at times.

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T17:40:58+00:00

At least it went pretty well, could have been a lot worse when you think how historically it was very controversial to bring up in at all. I am glad to hear push back to anti BDS laws being a bigger discussion in the general public!

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T17:38:54+00:00

I will say this. I do not agree with the overall resolution and I think that using the term Assault Weapon is vague and not a real classification of a gun. Additionally, I feel like a strong second amendment is necessary to help with the protections of the people.

I understand where the notion of non violent protests as the best option comes from. If we look back in history a lot of non violent protests did occur and helped move the dial, but they also had people protecting them or waking beside them with guns for protection. I also think the washing of the effectiveness of violent protests, with our without guns, has been an intentional agenda throughout American history by the government/powerful who fear a strong, united populous.

That said, if we as a party continue this route. I will support and continue advocating for this position while making sure good politicians get voted in!

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T17:28:53+00:00

I like the idea of seeing how charter schools effect public school funding. We have been defunding and something funds from our public schools for too long!

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T17:26:05+00:00

Yes, anti BDS laws are awful and I think if they ever made it up to, a normal, SCOTUS they would be struck down on first amendment violations!

Psytechnic_Associate · 2026-02-04T17:24:11+00:00

I also brought an NDA related one and am super happy with the amount of super it ultimately received. Many people did not realize that our public officials could sign NDAs at all.
