    There were businesses that were for it and many they didn’t oppose it. Some small businesses did oppose it and it was written in the law to give an exception to businesses with less than 30 employees along with grants to help small businesses.

    Here is a primer about how MN’s family leave program works.

    He never claimed to be in Beijing during the actual event. He said he was in Hong Kong. For those who don’t know geography or history Hong Kong is thousand miles away from Beijing and at the time wasn’t even part of the PrC.

    Which is different from the long but only partial list I mentioned above.

    Mixing up June and August from 35 years ago is less dishonest than this attempt to label Walz as a pathological liar.

    Those gamers would have to leave the house to go vote.
    Never going to happen unless they are handing out free Flamin Hot Cheetos and Rockstar energy drinks.

    Gamers are actually more diverse than the stereotype of virgin dudes staying in their parents’ basement. There are a lot women who are gamers and more affluent people gaming.

    That said I don’t think this will make a big difference but goes to how both campaigns are
    Trying to find more ways to reach non traditional voter groups.

    "We just found out his Trump-branded Bibles, they're printed in China. This dude even outsourced God to China ... I don't blame him. He didn't notice the Made in China sticker because they put it inside a place he's never looked - in the Bible." -- Gov. Tim Walz.

    Except for the previous hunting openers he did including shooting a deer.


    Also I don't know if you or Ion MIles Cheong have handled a firearm. There is nothing wrong with checking it like that safety.

    I'm not a gun guy.

    But I also don't pretend to be one to try and cater to voters.

    So you're not a gun guy so you don't actually know what you're criticizing.

    I'm not a "gun nut" but I have fired pistols and rifles. Checking the chamber which Walz appears to be doing is a standard safety practice.

    Neither does Tim Walz. He actually is a gun guy.

    Of course I live in the war zone that is Minneapolis so maybe that gives me an edge on firearm knowledge. :p

    One of the many nice things about the USA is that the country is so big that there is a lot of space for people to move where they feel comfortable.
