There Is Apparently a Free Lunch

 The MN DFL has been busy using it's complete control of the state government to make some major changes.   Thanks to the 18 billion dollar "surplus" they've taken from us.   First, there is still no sign of the promised rebate "Walz Checks" promised before the last two elections to by votes from people who don't pay taxes.   

But for the good stuff.   They've passed a noble law that decrees that MN will use no fossil fuels by 2040, or some arbitrary date.   Now, fossil fuels make up over half of our current energy supply, they are not going to increase nuclear, and they do not have the capability to generate and store enough electricity to supply our current needs, let alone future needs.   They also didn't take into account the weather up in the People's Republic.  The thousands of acres of solar farms needed are largely ineffective when they are covered with snow, or when it's cloudy, and where are they going to put these unsightly solar plantations.  I think some of us know how this ends.   At some point between now and 2040, they'll realize that they can't meet the deadline.  There won't be enough money, technology, or land to fulfill their fantasies, and they won't build more nukes.   So, they'll either go with what they have which will lead to blackouts during the cold winter months (probably kill off some folks as well), or they'll kick the can down the road, and claim victory.

They've also passed the most liberal abortion law in the country, anywhere, any place, any time, any reason.    Personally I'd suggest that the poor who don't want to raise their children in the frozen hellscape coming in 2040, might benefit from this new law.

Finally, they've decided that the richest families in the state should get free school lunches.  Apparently they're too lazy, or stupid to target this free lunch program to people who actually might "need" it.  Why not just make sure everyone with school aged kids gets subsidized for free lunch.  

What is the most awesome thing about all of these things, is that they will claim success no matter what the outcome.   They'll convince their voters that they really did get their checks, and the government cheese is the best thing since sliced bread.   

Hopefully we can kill this before it gets too entrenched.
