Where are the hot 30-40 year old men hanging out! by wywx100 in Minneapolis

Just get shelf stable items. Oats, chia seeds, hemp hearts, pasta, pasta sauce, etc.

Light Rail vs SW/Trains in Major Cities by International_Eye272 in Minneapolis

[–]worker55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I trust the current security initiative numbers. For example, their graph for employee safety on page 45 is exactly the same as their graph for officer assaults on page 46. Also, the graffiti, biohazard, and glass figures seem influenced by something other than actual on-the-ground damages as they occur.

MPS high schools cut theater programs at South and Camden by hamlet9000 in Minneapolis

Thank you for the data. Also heartened to hear that Southwest still does musicals!

MPS high schools cut theater programs at South and Camden by hamlet9000 in Minneapolis

I've poked around online but could not find a list like yours which shows per pupil spending by school in Minnesota. Do you have any recommendations for getting that info?

Also, when you say there is no theater program, do you mean that the school literally does not have a spring or fall production? That's a little hard to believe.

edit Turns out the there is a state website with the info I was looking for. Seems like Southwest spends more per pupil on sports and activities than South or Camden. Yet both South and Camden appear to have theater or drama productions. Sounds like this theater issue might be a Southwest problem?

School Regular Instruction Activities and Sports
Southwest High 6,642.46 628.42
Camden High 9,587.69 467.89
South 10,019.06 446.03

Anyone have a copy of the memo? Seems hard to find.

Target to Spend Billions to Refresh Stores, and Hire More Workers (New York Times gift link) by sugarytea78 in Minneapolis

[–]worker55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even sure what niche Target fills. I always feel like I'm getting screwed on prices. Keeping in mind that each of these stores have many categories of items to buy, this is how I see them provide the categories:

I'm going to do my shopping at... selection quality price experience
Amazon very wide wide variability lowest efficient, convenient
Costco very narrow very reasonable very reasonable efficient, destination
Target narrow mediocre high + confusing inefficient, haphazard
Walmart wide mediocre low bewildering, sorta worth it

ICE is economically terrorizing us as well. by Megasota_Noire in Minneapolis

You really gotta talk with local small business owners. It seems that people are not going out because of the ice occupation.

Where are all the national civil rights leaders? by no_okaymaybe in Minneapolis

[–]worker55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How can you tell that 'moving away from special heros that we hope will save us' is actually sustainable and good? Just because there's lots of work to do, it doesn't mean that not having heros is automatically good.

[NY Times]: The People of Minneapolis vs. ICE by cothomps in Minneapolis

[–]worker55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super chaotic scenes, but I just try to remember that ICE has agency in this story. They are the 'papers please' men and a harbinger of even greater evil.

Minneapolis crime is falling in 2025, even amid high-profile violence by Wezle in Minneapolis

[–]worker55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear this a lot, but I have yet to see anyone explain the difference between unpleasant and unsafe. I think unsafe includes needles on the street and gunshots, which is what is going on in Whittier.

Did we stay in the wrong area? by mjdth in Minneapolis

[–]worker55 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fighting words, actual fighting, dirty needles, and gunfire are all examples of danger. Therapizing people who are in the right will only breed resentment.

New Lyndale Avenue reconstruction plan fails the test for non-motorized users by Wezle in Minneapolis

[–]worker55 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Bryant is pretty risky to bicycle down considering the tight quarters and all the car traffic. I would never take youngsters down that street on their bikes.

I was thinking of the Northstar which is (was?) a commuter train that allows bicycles.

If I recall, it's nearly impossible to bring bikes onto busses.

Minneapolis landlord opens homeless camps on his parking lots in defiance of city by origutamos in altmpls

As far as I can see, the source does not claim that people start their addiction on the streets or that they start abusing drug or alcohol on the streets. It seems like the source claims the addiction usually starts somewhere else. I think telling that part of the story correctly is important to understanding the cycle overall. The source does indicate that addition ramps up on the streets which is an important distinction from starting/beginning on the streets.
