Minneapolis resident into local political affairs, and now a council candidate in Ward 11. Not much to see here, yet. Maybe. Former local-music reviewer, magazine editor. Current nightshift LPN.
Bingo, if we're talking about the place on Hiawatha. Hidden gem. You could have splurged on Le Estancia Uraguayan/Argentine steakhouse 48th and Nic. Maybe next time. Maybe not as direct a target as some, but also affected by reduced foot traffic by world-wise loyal customers. ;/

Have a phoner with MnSure tomorrow. Thanks for Pep-talk. Other navigator ghosted me. She could prolly tell I was either going to extend state-run COBRA (I quit stinky Mn. Vets 9/15), or dive on MA. Good luck in yr journey. I'm rapidly becoming a health insure reformer. `Funny' how that works.

Yeah. Careful those auto-renews of all sorts. I sub to Better Minneapolis, Noahpinion, and a stock-charts letter. Cheap Strib online. (;/) I wish many great Substack newsies would merge into lil dynamos. Did I answer the Q? A: More I wish. I just resigned from state Vets so. . .$-conscious for now.

I disagree these are inherently untruthful professions. The problem is Dems often pretend to be something they’re not. When you watch a Democrat you’re usually keenly aware you’re watching someone perform a personality they think you’ll like better than their actual selves bsky.app/profile/redb...
I think it's telling that the most likely career paths are the Armed Forces, Private Law, and Business which are all profoundly untruthful career paths - being an earnest hard-working person who speaks plainly is simply not a common way to legislature.

Most members of the House, even the new ones, made it to Washington by way of institutions and professions that are out of reach for most Americans.
