It is to laugh - the Democraps are taxing their businesses out of the state to continue The Somali Walz.

Starring the b******-f*****, Easy Ilhan.
Their HQ has not moved, from what I can tell.
Cargill is is undergoing a major, long-term restructuring that includes significant job cuts
at its Wayzata, Minnesota headquarters. Here are the key details regarding the situation:
As of October 2025, Cargill is laying off 80 employees at its Wayzata, MN headquarters,
following a previous reduction of 475 local jobs announced in late 2024.
Global Restructuring: These cuts are part of a broader, company-wide initiative to reduce its global workforce of 155,000 by 5% (roughly 8,000 employees) due to falling profits and a “farm sector slump”.
Strategy Shift: The restructuring involves shrinking from five business units down to three to focus on food, farming, and trade, as part of a 2030 strategy.
Cargill Expansion Elsewhere:
While reducing staff in Minnesota, Cargill announced in June 2024 that it is opening an office hub in Atlanta, Georgia, which is expected to create 400 jobs, primarily in technology and innovation.
Cargill, the largest privately held U.S. company, remains headquartered in the Twin Cities, but is cutting corporate roles to streamline operations.

How many of those jobs in Atlanta are H-1B?
The Chamber's 2023 report confirms the $6.6 billion deficit and outbound investments. Minnesota's corporate tax is indeed 9.8% (top marginal, highest or near-highest nationally in recent rankings). Some Cargill expansions (e.g., Iowa refinery in 2022, Kansas moves) are documented, though many U.S. investments span multiple states for operational reasons.
Overall message:The script argues Minnesota's high-tax, high-regulation policies are driving away homegrown success stories like Cargill, costing local jobs and investment, despite the company's continued presence and profitability. It portrays this as a policy failure harming workers and agriculture, contrasting with states that cut taxes to attract business.
Medtronic and Seagate moved their HQs to Ireland. Honeywell, Burger King and Purina did so long ago.
But they still have Target.
How many of those jobs in Atlanta are H-1B?
Cargill does hire and sponsor international candidates for certain roles. There are active listings in Atlanta for “Senior Product Manager - Data Platform,” “Data Engineer,” and “Software Engineer”.
Recent data indicates that Cargill Incorporated US has a high approval rate for H1B Labor Condition Applications (LCAs).
While many professional roles allow for sponsorship, some, particularly in production, explicitly state, “Must be eligible to work in the United States without visa sponsorship”.
The company is currently hiring for numerous professional, IT, and engineering positions in Atlanta.
Thanks, man. 😊
Needs a high corporate income tax to pay billions to Somali learing centers, etc.
Atlanta has developed a HUGE Indian population over the last 25-30 years.
“But they still have Target”

October 24, 2025
The Minnesota Star Tribune reports that Target Corp. will cut 1,800 positions from its corporate headquarters, which represents around 8% of the company’s global team. “The Minneapolis-based retailer said changes were not made to cut costs but to make Target’s operations more agile and improve decision-making.”
The rainbow DEI crowd is saddened.
Looks like Cargill is learing its lesson.
Cargill has a turkey processing plant near me. The poultry producers are in the process of automating their plants, putting literally thousands of Hispanic workers (legal or not) out of work!
I’m in NW Arkansas; Wal Mart and Tyson ground zero. These automations will change everything here, from Hispanics and Marshall Islanders working in local poultry plants to the Somalians working in nearby, out of state poultry plants.
I will admit the influx of Hispanics has been beneficial in some ways to our local economy (the Hispanics number some great entrepreneurs among their ranks), BUT, domestic abuse and drunk driving has exploded here over the last 30 years.
Thanks for the Arkansas report!
Ditto...
just require they do not bring any dems to texas
SUUUUURE that's the ticket
All the blue chitholes seem to have that in common. They used to be rich and built up a lot of successful businesses. Now they're living off of those businesses and the legacy of their past wealth and slowly bleeding it out with high taxes and socialism......acting like those businesses can never and will never leave. But they do. Something tells me they won't dial back the socialism one bit until they have thoroughly run those cities right into the ground and there is no more money left to tax or steal.
Wait until AI takes their jobs.
