Now Minneapolis and St Paul have vaccine mandates.  These people are insane. We stopped going to the twin cities a few years ago and this just cements this.  I wish we could wall off the whole metro area.

Most of my friends, relatives, and myself stopped going in 2020. This just helps cement the deal. Rampant crime with only innocent people being arrested,wokeness everywhere, now this.  Congratulations, I will never spend a dime. It sucks at times because some of my favorite restaurants or venues are there. No more Twins or Wild or comedy clubs. My wife and I frequently eat out at nice restaurants. We have no children so it is easy to just day let's go to such and such. We spent a couple of grand a year in those cities on just food. It was our thing, with no kids and all of our friends and relatives our age having younger children, it got us out of the house. We both like fancy restaurants and good food.

Now I typically try to avoid hennepin and Ramsey county as a whole, not just Minneapolis or St Paul.  If I could convince my wife I'd already be in south Dakota.

Yeah, I ended up getting the vax anyways, I had a trip to vegas and thought I would need it to fly. This was before all the forced stuff. Just out of spite I wouldn't do it now. That said, just on principal I won't spend another dime on the cities either.

The whole metro area is a no go for me. St. Cloud metro as well.

Funny how big box stores can get away without contact tracing or being held accountable like the smaller biz are.

TGT and BBY spend good money paying off local politicians so they would be impacted as little as possible.

Havn't been down in the cities since the George Floyd thing

Don't plan on being down there ever again.

I've been on the job hunt for a bit.

A close friend is trying to hook me up but HQ is in Minneapolis.

Decent opportunity but I'm really on the fence about it.

Is it actually in Minneapolis, or just close by (Bloomington, Richfield, etc.)?

It's central Minneapolis.

If it were neighboring, I wouldn't be AS hesitant.

Even Minnetonka passed an emergency mask mandate, the braindead fascist insanity is everywhere in the Metro now...
