  • As someone from mn (where walz has been governor for a while now) I can assure you that he’s awesome. The only thing that concerns me about him is that hes been awfully quiet about Israel’s genocide so I don’t really know where he stands on that. Otherwise though he’s amazing.

    He owns no stocks and no real assets to speak of. He lives exclusively in the govenors house and is relying on his state pension for retirement. He has passed legislation enshrining abortion rights in mn, blocking corporations from buying single family homes, providing free school lunches to all students, and funding college access for everyone state wide. In his free time he likes hunting, fishing, and working on his old 1979 International Harvester Scout Truck. When he fucked up durring his response to the George Floyd protests he immediately admited that he fucked up and vowed to do better next time. Durring covid he repeatedly chewed people out on both sides of the aisle for politicizing the pandemic while enacting common sense laws about it. Honestly I can’t think of a single thing he has done that I disagree with other than his response to the George Floyd protest which even he admits was wrong.

    I am rabbid for this man. He would be a damn nice president. My only regret would be that if he became president then he wouldn’t be my state govenor any more.













  • So I’m a first responder at my workplace. I’m literally a trained and certified medical professional. I got called for a coworker passing out a while back. I got there and they had the coworker now consious in one of our conference rooms along with the shift manager. The coworker was still feeling woozy so I start going through the assessment process.

    This coworker was a young woman, I am a slightly less young man. I 100% get why the shift manager didn’t want to leave me alone with her. At the same time though, I am bound by HIPAA, the shift manager is not. I can’t disclose any medical information she tells me to anyone, the shift manager has no such restriction. So now I’m left trying to figure out how to ask my patient some rather personal medical questions with a lookie lou sitting right there listening to everything she says. That is invasive and uncomfortable when I’m asking about shit like her period (because low iron can be an issue) but becomes especially problematic when one of the questions I need to ask is if they’re using any drugs (I work in a manufacturing plant, it happens). I don’t record that they are if they say yes and I can’t tell anyone (I just monitor for a bit in case of OD and ensure they get a ride home), but nobody is ever going to say yes to that question with their bosses boss sitting right there. Luckily the shift manager eventually got called away for something and I had a brief chance to ask those questions.

    Like I said, As a man I 100% get why they don’t want to leave me alone with women. At the same time though in situations like that it makes my job several times harder and is a potential legal disaster for me. It wouldn’t be an issue at all if I was treating a guy. Also it’s even more anoying because I’m fucking asexual. I get that they have no way to know that and people lie. I’m just pissed that situations like this get so complicated because the world is full fucking rapist assholes.
