It’s one of the best state in the US.
Highest life expectancy. One of the most progressive tax system. Great labor rights. Free tuition for students with a family income under $80,000. 10,000 Lakes.
There is some fraud scandal, and suddenly, it’s all we hear about.
-
Trump administration talks about it 24/7. They claim some somali family stole $1 billion, $2 billion, $5 billion, $10 billion. What’s the next figure? 800 billion?

It turned into scapegoating Minnesota. One fraud scandal and it’s all they talk about 24/7.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump gives pardons to convicted fraudsters and no one bats an eye.

The Senator representing Florida (Rick Scott) was criminally convicted for defrauding Medicaid and Medicare with fake invoices, but he says Minnesota is corrupt.
Go fuck yourselves
Nowhere is perfect and there are some VALID criticisms.
Y’all have winter for 7 months out of the year. Don’t you lie to out of staters and say there isn’t snow in May. The only months I ain’t never seen snow in is July and August and I’m pretty sure there are records of snow in July.
And it’s not just any winter. I have seen the ass crack of -54F during a polar vortex. On more than one occasion it’s been colder than the surface of Mars.
When it finally starts to melt you have a season dedicated entirely to ticks.
I do miss it in the summertime though. I like humidity and thunderstorms. And fireflies when there used to be fireflies.
But FUCK the mosquitoes. I literally had to sleep under mosquito netting. That’s what 10,000 lakes gets ya.
Source: lived up north for way too long. Fucked off back to the land of perpetual rain where I belong. Yes, I couldn’t hack it. Y’all are tough, I’ll give you that.
Don’t forget about the passive aggressive Lutherans!
Minnesota is awesome though, shame I had to move away.
At least they won’t subject you to a Catholic wedding :P
Don’t worry, climate change has killed most of the mosquitos and made the winters generally more mild. Heck, a couple winters ago I didn’t even get to break out the shovel!
