RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

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?
The Murdoch family (Fox News, New York Post) talks about it 24/7
Elon Musk promotes "Fraud in Minnesota" content on X.
Joe "Rogan" and these dumbass youtube influencers show up and start saying Tim Waltz is incompetent and corrupt.

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.

The only thing I have against Minnesota is the rivalry between the Packers and Vikings...

Had one of the best times of my life up in the Boundary Waters.
