Knucklehead GOP governor of South Dakota is trying to lure businesses from Minnesota

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

because South Dakota doesn't make people wear masks, unlike evil Minnesota which doesn't respect individual rights because the governor is a Democrat.

The Republican governor says Minnesota’s COVID-19-related restrictions, including a mandate to wear face masks in public buildings, has created an opportunity for businesses there to cross the border to South Dakota.

Noem says in South Dakota, people’s individual rights are respected and businesses won’t be shut down.

Noem has taken a relaxed approach to the pandemic. Even as Republican governors in states like Texas have moved to require people to wear masks, Noem didn’t require physical distancing or masks at the July 3 celebration at Mount Rushmore, which President Donald Trump attended.

4. Well,this battle has been ongoing since

the Days of Rudy Prepich. Yes,Minny lost some Companies and those were ones who wanted to avoid Union Representation. 3M moved their Memory Business out of St Paul to avoid a Union Shop. It moved to Brookings and the N95 mask shop moved out of the Metro to Brookings as well and they were in the process of relocating that operation to some where in Mexico in a labor cost saving move,until Covid hit.

A major Trucking Company moved from the Minny West side Marshall,to White Sodak in order to save 50% on their Workers Comp Insurance. Oh btw,to avoid settling a couple bodily Insurance claims pending at the time in Minny.

But,when skill sets are necessary,well,Sodak is the Dud of the Upper Midwest.
