For anyone who isn't familiar with Walz look at what he's done in Minnesota with a 1 seat majority- universal free school meals - legal weed - carbon free electricity by 2040 - tax rebates for the working class up to $1,300 (making under $150k per year) - 12 weeks paid family leave - 12 weeks paid sick leave - banned conversion therapy - red flag laws for guns - universal background checks for guns - automatic voter registration - free public college (under $80k) - ban on PFAS (forever chemicals)
Me reading this list: "Maybe I should move to Minnesota..."
Sure but then you'd have to live in Minnesota. Have you seen Fargo? No thank you.
Where I live is basically the polar opposite climate wise and I dream of moving to somewhere frozen over half the year.
The polar opposite of Minnesota is Antarctica.
Actually, the closest land antipode that I found to St. Paul Minnesota was (weirdly enough) the Saint Paul and Amsterdam Isles.
It's not often you find a comment that's both pedantic and well executed. Good job!
Well, we are the North Star State.
Better move quick. Our winters are getting shorter startlingly quickly. We've been lucky to even get snow by christmas these past couple years.
Do it, it's fun! I moved here from Florida. Great decision.
(And in February you can message me and say "Move to Minnesota you said. It'll be fun you said!")
