I love my "failed state"

Post Body

Mr. Trump says we are a failed State. I love living here...been here my whole life of 50 years. Been to many other States, but Minnesota is my home...and nowhere else!!

Is the State perfect? No, but no State is.

Do I agree with our politicians? Not always, but no one ever does in any State.

Do we have crime? Of course we do, but so does every other State.

Are people making a mass exodus from Minnesota? Based upon the number of houses and apartments being built, that appears doubtful.

Is road construction a pain in the rear? Absolutely it is, but after driving nearly 3,000 miles in 7 States in the last two weeks, I am thankful for all the road construction we have - we have awesome roads compared to other places.

Minnesota ranks high on many good lists, and some bad. But all States can claim that, too.

The people here are genuinely awesome. We have bountiful nature, great restaurants, various entertainment options, and a history worth learning. I am sure others have ideas of what makes this State great.

Every state in its history has had bad moments...ours happened to be in 2020. That does not make us a failed State, just an imperfect one.

Failure is not a bad thing - failure helps us to learn, grow, and improve - and I feel the State and local governments are trying to do that despite extremely tough headwinds.

I hope others love this "failed State" as well.
