Fiscally conservative, socially accepting. Vote blue because dems produce more durable good outcomes. Passions are the Outdoors, BWCA, animals and systems integrations.

Just received our 2026 health insurance quote, itโ€™s up 40% and the deductible goes up from $9k to $10k. We buy on the open market, no ACA subsidies.

our country canโ€™t afford our medical industry.

Are health insurance increases going to be the thing that tips us into recession?

Shooting priests? Really? Thatโ€™s assault, no immediate threat to law enforcement. Police need to prosecute the shooter.

Looks like a beautiful, scenic ride, especially the last part near Sioux Narrows. I love that kind of country. Mostly been riding in northern Minnesota, around the BWCA, and the north shore of Lake Superior. Now Iโ€™m thinking about a fishing trip via bikes into the Narrows. Thanks for sharing

Actions have consequences. No taxes on tips? No more tips from me. Recent Minimum wage hikes should provide good pay for staff.
Other changes also coming, money talks.

Cabbage roll upโ€™s! Pork, beef and rice wrapped in cabbage , smothered in mushroom sauce, yum! They are delicious. Kramarczuk's in mpls are very good

Stolen valor - describes taking credit for a made up military victory. Trumpโ€™s LA fiasco feels like a weak attempt at stolen valor. Thoughts?

Trump is a cheap date. He gave away the economy of the future, AI, for trinkets, a plane. History will compare Trumps deal to the purchase of Manhattan. The Middle Eastern countries will be laughing all the way to the bank.

Did the Trump admin make a deal with Musk where Tesla would not longer be responsible for these crashes in exchange for musk running DOGE? We need to know

Update - the actual text of the EO seems to indicate that the โ€œThis mechanism shall include the use of private sector pro-bono assistance for such law enforcement officersโ€ refers to legal representation (aka the private firms he strong armed) and will likely be used to protect bad cops.

This is serious. DOGE letting Russians copy huge amounts of your information is treasonous. This is info about each and every American. The kind of info that scammers and thieves use to steal your money
