I think this is a little overstated. Yes, Minneapolis is a debt-lover’s paradise. Yes, it is a welfare haven where the deadbeats prey on the productive. And yes, it’s a pretentious Potemkin village that tries too hard to be taken seriously.
But it is not a crime-ridden hellhole, a sort of frozen Beirut. It is as corrupt as any Dem-run city always is, with gold-plated sports stadiums being built over taxpayer objections, bridges collapsing because of mysterious construction shortcuts, and streets that mountain goats refuse to travel. And most of these ills would be relieved if a conservative ran the place.

"I'll tell you why we came to Minnesota. It was when we found out you only had 15,000 blacks here. Black people don't go to ballgames, but they'll fill up a rassling ring and put up such a chant it'll scare you to death. We came here because you've got good, hardworking white people here."
Time to move the team to Vermont, I guess. LOL.

Uh...your post & the entire article make no mention of the Muslim problem in Minneapolis, or of Somalis in the state in general, or the muzzie-loving mayor who wants even more of them to come on in. J.S.
