On a single night in January of 2022, there were 7,917 people facing homelessness in Minnesota. This statistic comes from the Minnesota HMIS (Homeless Management Information System). Homelessness is frequently thought of as people staying in emergency shelters or sleeping out in the elements. However, homelessness is also people staying unexpectedly and temporarily with family or friends because they have nowhere else to go, “couch hopping” or “couch surfing,” and staying in places not typically meant for longterm shelters, such as staying in cars. The Homeless Hub points out that emergency shelters exist in medium to large-sized urban areas but are not generally available in rural areas and small towns.
A recent letter to the editor claims that carbon emissions were not the cause of global warming problems, and somehow Governor Walz actions are not helping either. Evidently 90% of the scientists in the world are wrong and the improvement of clean air is a waste of time. One man declared drinking bleach would cure COVID-19. Another declared that the Sandy Hook School massacre was fake. There is a cost to believing things that are completely false. Just like the false claim that the election was stolen, but only the presidential election, all the other republicans that were elected were fair elections. Stealing top secret documents is a crime and should be prosecuted as such and the penalty should be stiff. Now there are claims that the FBI is corrupt. Donald Trump claimed, why would you take the fifth if you were innocent, and then took the fifth himself over 450 times. What does that tell you? He is a one man crime wave. Somehow his followers think it is fine for him to commit tax evasion and in the next breath claim Joe Biden is stealing the election. If Donald Trump and people like him are the best you can come up with, and you think Putin and Russia are the better option, then we all are in for a rude awakening.
The thing about fall is that it’s not winter. Winter is winter. Winter comes right after fall. Fall is, try to stay with me here, directly after summer. The season of fall is named after a guy who first noticed the temperature dropping and, for some reason, coincidentally, was always dropping stuff. And, in another pretty big coincidence, his name was Fall.
