@Halo_chains My dad died suddenly when I was almost 5. Your child needs and deserves to know you both. What is heavy today won't be forever. Your baby will grow up. You will find your path forward and not all the answers need to be figured out today. Be kind to yourself.

Today my 5 year old ran up to me with literal sparkles in his eyes. He said: “Mom! I FaceTimed daddy! Look, it’s daddy! Say hi!” I froze. My chest got heavy. All I could say was: “Baby, I’m busy making waffles right now.” “But mom… it’s my dad.” “I know, love. You go talk to him.” And I watched his little heart break right in front of me. The sparkle I’d seen earlier… dimmed. We’re legally…..

@AngieCraigMN My kid who has lived in MN since the day he was born and is fully insured by me can't get a surgeon to repair his broken arm...but here you are wasting more resources for political talking points...Literally fuck all the way off.

I started my way to El Paso this afternoon to meet with my constituent Andrea in an ICE detention center tomorrow morning. She has still not received the potentially life-saving care doctors here in Minnesota say she needs.

@Trish1214126171 I have contacts out your way. I am in the construction business in central MN.

I am going to take this tub out and put in a handicap accessible shower, this tub isn’t usable for me, I need ideas, someone on X (I can’t remember had this photo of their bathroom on their page. I can’t find a contractor of course, plumbers are few and far between and the VA requires a licensed contractor. Please share your thoughts and suggestions if you have any!

@FOX9 Forcing people to pay for something other people demand...modern day salvery.

Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) employees held a May Day rally to call for a permanent solution to save the hospital from closing, which could happen this summer if no solution is found. fox9.com/news/hennepin-…

@NortonMpls @Mplspatriot They were demoralized, degraded and demeaned. The defunding came when they left. Now you bitch, piss and moan that the remaining officers and the handful of new hires don't do what you want and are paid overtime eating up the budget. You won now you just don't like the prize.

@Mplspatriot Frey never vetoed the police being defunded, because the police were never defunded

It’s crazy the Star Tribune is just starting to realize that Mayor Frey has been the one in charge of fixing the problems in Minneapolis for the past 9 years and that when he says “we can’t allow this” his administration has actually been the one allowing it:

@txsalth2o @UFWupdates If Juan is here legally on an H2A visa he also gets employer provided housing. Don't forget to add that into the wages.

@UFWupdates CA minimum wage is $16.90 per hour I know math isn’t y’all’s strong suit but if you take 110 and divide it by 6 you get $18.33 - tax free dollars every hour.

"Juan" is harvesting mandarins in the Dinuba, CA area. "I get paid $55 per 900lb bin. I fill 2 bins in the 6 hours I work. My family depends on my wages. Sometimes I can't make ends meet. I don't speak up for fear of losing my job, as work is currently very scarce." #WeFeedYou

@RevTChristopher @TimLawler100383 Well it's a multi million dollar industry for the metro that grows yearly and is mostly supported by tax dollars. Keep Casting broad judgment on people for not giving enough and in ways that you have deem to be Christian enough. It is working great for you and homeless.

@Katj57 @TimLawler100383 🤣🤣🤣I have, there is a reason many come to the blue district. To get help because they don’t get it anywhere else.

There is a reason this bill is being pushed. It will make the red districts take care of their homeless.

@FreakinWeasel @albertus3M @brivael That's the risk creators take on. You take any 3 cards and make anyone of them valuable. It takes time and commitment.

@albertus3M @brivael There’s also the fact that certain Pokemon cards are very rare and very valuable. The cards themselves carry no value inherently. I’d take three shiny, rare cards over 50 regular cards. How does that value factor in?

Elon Musk avait dit un truc qui m'avait marqué sur l'allocation de ressources. En substance : passé un certain niveau de richesse, l'argent n'est plus de la consommation, c'est de l'allocation de capital. Cette phrase change tout. L'économie, dans le fond, c'est juste un problème d'allocation. Tu as des ressources finies et des usages infinis. Qui décide où va quoi ? Imagine une cour de récré. 100 enfants, des paquets de cartes Pokémon distribués au hasard. Tu laisses faire. Très vite, un ordre émerge. Les bons joueurs accumulent les cartes rares, les collectionneurs trient, les négociateurs trouvent des deals. Personne n'a planifié. Et pourtant chaque carte finit dans les mains de celui qui en tire le plus de valeur. Le système maximise le bonheur total de la cour. C'est ça, la main invisible. Maintenant fais entrer la maîtresse. Elle trouve ça injuste. Léo a 50 cartes, Tom en a 3. Elle confisque, redistribue, impose l'égalité. Trois effets immédiats. Les bons joueurs arrêtent de jouer, à quoi bon. Les mauvais n'ont plus de raison de progresser, ils auront leur part. Les échanges s'effondrent. La cour est égale, et morte. Elle a maximisé l'égalité, elle a détruit le bonheur. Le problème de la maîtresse, c'est qu'elle ne peut pas avoir l'information que la cour avait collectivement. C'est le problème du calcul économique de Mises, formulé en 1920. L'URSS a essayé de le résoudre pendant 70 ans avec le Gosplan. Résultat : pénuries, queues, effondrement. Pas parce que les Soviétiques étaient bêtes, parce que le problème est mathématiquement insoluble en mode centralisé. Quand Musk a 200 milliards, il ne les consomme pas, il les alloue. SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, xAI. Chaque dollar est un pari sur le futur. Et lui a un track record. PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. Il a démontré qu'il sait identifier des problèmes immenses et y allouer des ressources avec un rendement spectaculaire. L'État aussi a un track record. Hôpitaux qui s'effondrent, éducation qui décline, dette qui explose, services publics qui se dégradent malgré des budgets en hausse constante. Le marché identifie les bons allocateurs, la politique identifie les bons communicants. Le profit n'est pas une finalité, c'est un signal. Il dit : tu as alloué des ressources rares vers un usage que les gens valorisent suffisamment pour payer. Plus le profit est gros, plus la création de valeur est grande. Quand Starlink est rentable, ça veut dire que des millions de gens dans des zones rurales ont enfin internet. Quand un ministère est en déficit, ça veut dire qu'il consomme plus qu'il ne produit. L'un crée, l'autre détruit, et on appelle ça redistribution. Dans nos sociétés il y a deux catégories d'acteurs. Les entrepreneurs et les bureaucrates. L'entrepreneur prend un risque personnel pour identifier un problème, mobiliser des ressources, créer une solution. S'il se trompe il perd. S'il a raison, ses clients gagnent, ses employés gagnent, ses fournisseurs gagnent, l'État collecte des impôts. Il est la cellule de base du progrès humain. Le bureaucrate ne prend aucun risque personnel. Son salaire est garanti. Au mieux il maintient une rente existante. Au pire il la détruit par excès de réglementation, mauvaise allocation forcée, incitations perverses qui découragent ceux qui produisent. Mais dans aucun cas il ne crée. Regarde les 50 dernières années. iPhone, internet civil, SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Stripe, mRNA, ChatGPT. Toutes des inventions privées, portées par des entrepreneurs, financées par du capital risque. Pas un seul ministère n'a inventé quoi que ce soit qui ait changé ta vie au quotidien. La France est devenue le laboratoire mondial de la dérive bureaucratique. 57% du PIB en dépenses publiques, record absolu. Une administration tentaculaire, une fiscalité qui pénalise la création de richesse. Résultat : décrochage face aux États-Unis, à l'Allemagne, à la Suisse. Fuite des cerveaux. Désindustrialisation. Dette qui explose. Et le pire c'est que la mauvaise allocation s'auto-renforce. Plus l'État prélève, moins les entrepreneurs créent. Moins ils créent, moins il y a de base fiscale. Plus l'État s'endette et taxe. Boucle de rétroaction négative parfaite. La maîtresse pense qu'elle aide, et chaque année la cour produit moins. Dans nos sociétés, ce sont les entrepreneurs, toujours, qui font avancer la civilisation. Les bureaucrates au mieux maintiennent une rente, au pire la détruisent. Aucune société n'a jamais progressé en taxant ses créateurs pour subventionner ses gestionnaires. La question n'est jamais qui a combien. C'est qui alloue le mieux la prochaine unité de ressource pour maximiser le futur de l'humanité. La réponse depuis 200 ans n'a jamais changé. Ce ne sont pas les fonctionnaires.

@RevTChristopher @TimLawler100383 Perhaps you should investigate how most rural MN non profits truly operate. No paid staff or offices. Bar Bingo/meat raffles/food stands/fish fries fund a lot needs in outstate. Preventing homelessness and hunger is a lot cheaper than funding it.

@Katj57 @TimLawler100383 Then again we would not need nonprofit if the so called Christian would do what God ask us all to do, Jesus never asked the government to help the poor. When Jesus told the rich man to sell all he had and give it to the poor, the rich man had a problem with that and still do.

@RevTChristopher @TimLawler100383 You are right. Every town in the state should start a non profit get 100,000 in homeless grants to help. They can each pay the director 65,000 a year and 25,000 on offices and benefits. The 10,000 left will be used wisely. Great plan!

Well a lot of the red areas who call themselves Christians skip over the part in the Bible where it say take. Care of the poor, They don’t see it as a Christian thing more as enabling those who are down on their knees, so they keep going to the only place that will do a God has commanded us to do. More people in red areas should read Luke 10:25-37

@RevTChristopher @TimLawler100383 Why do people keep coming to MPLS? Because most red areas won't pay or tolerate enabling them perpetually Taking food off our table to feed yours is pretty standard. However we will not sink our ship trying to keep yours afloat when you keep throwing the anchor over.

@Katj57 @TimLawler100383 The more people that comes in outside of Minneapolis the bigger it gets, imagine if small towns helped their homeless that would cut down on what the cities have to take care of and just maybe there wouldn’t be a need for some much money.

@MplsWard2 You have run out of other people's money...maybe try a go fund me so all the people that think free healthcare is free can donate to it.

🩹HCMC has saved so many people- now we need to save HCMC! 💔 Healthcare cuts by the federal gov could close our largest safety net hospital & trauma center. 🕯️Join a 24-hour vigil starting April 30th at 10am calling on #mnleg to save HCMC! secure.ngpvan.com/5609F3rrm0613_…

@RevTChristopher @TimLawler100383 The more money they feed the beast the bigger it gets. Imagine the amount of jobs lost if homelessness was eliminated. That business model works in big cities..not so much in a small town.

@Katj57 @TimLawler100383 When you push the homeless out of your city…you don’t need resources.

@RevTChristopher @TimLawler100383 There are not resources in most red districts. No public transport, no free meals, no shelters, no clinics, no blanket and tent handouts. Most rural districts entire city budgets are less than what MPLS spends studying homelessness.

@TimLawler100383 We have homeless camps in both cities here in Minnesota, they come in from all over because many of the red districts will not provide for them. So they come to Minneapolis or St Paul.

@Ravious101 @BullYote Do this

@BullYote Interesting thanks she ready to try anything at this point. She has almost fallen many times so this is serious issue

Okay serious question what can she do to help her condition? My Mom didn't want to be recorded but she agreed to it since she has been in so much pain. She is 70 years old and has been dealing with right upper leg pain more towards her groin which she has severe swelling by her knee and all the way down to her foot and ankle giving her a hard time walking and even worse trying to turn. She has been going through this for over a year. She went to her doctor they said most likely just arthritis. She has used a body massager, ice, stretching, leg elevated in bed sitting on cushions in chairs. She has tried rest pain meds. Inflammation meds for swelling nothing is helping. Also tried a hip leg brace and cane to alleviate pressure on that one side. My mom is a caregiver for my dad and my sister because they're both disabled and my mom dresses wounds and helps with everything so my mom has to do all the cooking laundry cleaning so she can't exactly relax for a while and let this condition get better. I go over there several times a week trying to help out as much as I can. If you have had this issue or known somebody that has can you help us with any information that you can provide thanks.

@Ravious101 @BullYote This is life changing. Amazon Medical grade DMSO and Caster Oil. Put a little caster oil on your hands like lotion. Add some DMSO and rub it in and around the painful areas. Reduces inflammation and brings red blood cells to the area to heal...I found this a year ago it works

@CactusLove_1963 @FOX9 Bingo!

@FOX9 The Minneapolis economy was artificially inflated by somali fraud money, luxury cars etc. Now that the money got cut off....the stolen Money has evaporated.

The Minnesota Senate will soon vote on a $100 million loan program for businesses impacted by Operation Metro Surge. fox9.com/news/ice-surge…

@JessRMyers As a lifetime resident of this state if this is what embarrasses you most about something happening in this state we can add you to the list of embarrassments.

As a 25-year resident of IGH, how embarrassing.

@SandraBullockF @VicToriA19_72 @LeadingReport What's wild is you don't understand that nothing is free. That while Federal dollars can't be used that states can allocate state dollars to this. Hospitals and schools can't afford to provide free services. MPLS schools and hospitals are literally drowning in debt.

@Katj57 @VicToriA19_72 @JinSaotome @LeadingReport What I find interesting is that she is talking about immigrants and are referring to “illegals.” You should sit this one out if you can’t help but conflate 2 wildly different groups. It says a lot about how you view people different than you (and that’s not a good thing).

Immigrants generate more income and taxes than the average person, per CATO Institute.

@jamesbohanpitt @lawyer_memes Our kids joke about being voluntold....it really is a lifelong struggle.

@lawyer_memes I love the phrase “voluntold”. Defines professional services 😆 (and much of your marriage too actually 😂)

A junior associate informed me she has a "hard stop" at 5 PM on Fridays. She said she needs the weekend to protect her peace and maintain her energy. I told her I completely respect her commitment to boundary setting. I then removed her from the M&A deal she'd spent two months diligence-ing. She came to my office on Monday confused as to why her access was revoked. I explained that a closed deal requires momentum, not a pause button. She asked how she was supposed to hit her billable requirement now. I suggested she use all that extra weekend energy to find a new practice area. Peace is a wonderful concept for people who don't practice corporate law. The rest of us find our tranquility in a signed signature page.
