Mull this over................

On the radio today Sansavere was interviewing a guy from the hospitality industry. This guy said that the bars and restaurants in the Casinos are open. 

But, but their a Sovereign Nation!  Hope they go to "their own" Hospitals when they get it!  :coffee: :coffee:

... we gotta run that gutless clown out of the governors chair as quick as we can. This guy will have us bankrupt quicker then quick.   :tut:

Can someone 'splain this to me?  I saw this on the news last night...

How can our Minnesota State budget go from a $1.5 Billion surplus in Februrary to a $2.4 Billion deficit in May to being a $641 Million surplus now???   :confused:

Public Education. They use to teach math. Now only Activism! 🙃 This may splain it. Walz graduated from Butte High School in a class of 25 students, and went on to earn a bachelor of science degree in social science education!  :bow:

Any Field That Had the Word “Science” in Its Name Was Guaranteed Thereby Not To Be a Science

The misnaming of fields of study is so common as to lead to what might be general systems laws. For example, Frank Harary once suggested the law that any field that had the word “science” in its name was guaranteed thereby not to be a science. He would cite as examples Military Science, Library Science, Political Science, Homemaking Science, Social Science, and Computer Science.

The numbers released are all "PROJECTIONS" much like we have all predicted 12 Super Bowl titles for the Vikings. The reality is once these people get elected the first thing they check at the front door of the state capitol is their common sense. Everybody knows the surest way to get into trouble is spend money you don't have (projections) instead of waiting until the actual cash is in the bank.

You had the surplus pre covid, the projected defict caused by the shutdown and the last surplus is what they think the pass opening will provide until this shutdown.

In the rush to grab these millions these fools are completely ignoring the lack of taxes coming in. The state will lose billions in loss tax money and hundreds of millions of future taxes from the businesses that are going belly up. Plus this doesn't take into account the millions they are doling out that we aren't paying attention to.

As a educator Walz is teaching us just how much damage one single man can do to a state when he gets a bit of backing.

Walz will have this state bankrupt before long.

Speaking of GPS tracking chips...

Has anyone heard an update on how that new COVIDAware MN smart phone tracking app is going?

Here is the interesting thing...

Minnesota's new COVID-19 tracking app will anonymously notify contacts

"While the technology has existed for months on Apple and Google mobile platforms, Minnesota leaders hesitated to use it because of privacy concerns..."

The technology they are talking about is a smartphone's ability to ping the relative strength of nearby smartphone bluetooth signals, which tells them who you are in close proximity to.

So Google and Apple don't know where you are, but they know who you have been with.
:sleazy:

No, scratch that, they probably still track where you have been to - despite the fact that you manually set the tracking feature to OFF on your phone.
:pouty:

Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

Amen, brothers.  Its too easy to pontificate, banter, and argue about all the politics that has attached itself to this outbreak, but it is another thing when someone you love, in a high risk group, has to deal with it.  Prayers for you mom, Roony.

Prayers for her. My older sister and her husband are both just getting over it. Oddly neither said they had a fever but both tested positive?  :confused:

That is the bitch of this thing... some folks barely (if at all) know they got it and for others it is a life or death struggle.

Politicians and social media will continue to blather on about what it means when the rates go up or down, what should be closed or opened, and whose policies worked or failed. 

The promise of an effective vaccine should bring hope to many, but I expect it will be a long winter before the tide really starts to turn.
