There's no meaningful difference between the extreme right and the extreme left or between mainstream left politicians and mainstream right politicians. None of them actually care about people, only themselves or their cronies. Both sides just want to control you and force you to do things you don't want to or shouldn't have to do, they're just different things. They both will gladly spend your money on BS you don't want.

Your daughter sounds smart for getting away from Utah. It's full of many cult members, bad politics, and religious fanatics. Of course not all people there are like that but enough are. I'm from MN and it's a great state. Quality of life is excellent and Minneapolis is one of the best cities to live or visit. I split my time between FL and MN now but I can say with full confidence that MN is the best state that I've ever been to. Nice people, a state government that cares about everyone, hard workers, higher than average income, highest voter participation, environmental protections, and much more. FL has good weather but the people are way more rude, impatient, violent, bad traffic and driving, lower wages, higher cost of living. It's honestly night and day between a democrat vs republican state. Blue states rank better in almost every way for quality of life. State income tax may be higher but they use that to provide more to their citizens. You'll bring up fraud but every state has some fraud. MN is too nice and got taken advantage of by bad actors. They're cracking down now, as they should. FL and red states have much more corruption than any blue state. FL is full of it from the governor down the ranks. I'm not a far left liberal but I've always voted Democrat because Republicans have never been good people in my lifetime. I'm 34 and all they do is try to take away rights from people and dictate how others should live. They want to control women and their bodies, ban gay marriage, force religion in government and public schools, and encourage more guns which lead to more violence. Democrats are "live and let live" while Republicans want to control everyone different from them. It's honestly pathetic and I hope sometime in my lifetime, the republican party comes around and acts normal.

I would probably skip class as much as i could to stay in that room. I would start each morning by drilling a hole in the handle of a massive tomahawk steak. so i could slip my belt carabiner into it and carry my yummy stick around to snack on all day. I would expand my music taste into every variation of sound abuse they make. People like that who are so self absorbed that they think they get to dictate every other person are my jam. And you never know, I could end up with a semester pass if all goes well, assuming those roommate self checkout policies are real. I have that them thing sniffing cocaine off hookers asses in a short period. one sniff of the powder of power off a trollup and your pronouns and safe spaces dont matter any more. I was hoping that it would have showed up at the pool though and turned out not to be a total shitbag, no joy on that On Sat, Jan 17, 2026 at 6:11 PM < [email protected] > wrote: As a dad of 8, you learn that you don’t get 100% yield on the production process. I can’t complain. Lost one son to a car accident. But I have 4 kids working with me at the company. That is success by any measure. And as a life long telecom guy, I learned a long time ago, you always have to have critical spares. I have one daughter that turned out to be 100% SJW. She moved away to Minneapolis to get away from Utah and people like me. I wonder how she is enjoying current events there… I wish she could understand how I feel: https://youtu.be/ryIeOxe9lBw?si=w1i153ai8Iap3m7s -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
