"It felt like when I got my ass kicked coming home every day from junior high school. It wasn't a good feeling," Glenn said. "We were sitting outside again, and looked at each other and said, 'You know what? It's time to go.'"
The Geists are a few of the handful of people who have self-deported from states around the nation to move to South Dakota specifically for political reasons, including its lack of COVID-19 restrictions.
SD governor and Idiot, Kristi Noem, is just awful.
The moron needs to lose the mullet. He wasn't allowed in a South Dakota hospital because he would not wear a mask. So he celebrated his freedom in the hospital parking lot, locked in his car. The stupid. It hurts.

(32,017 posts)If a million boneheads from TX would move to SD, TX would be blue, and we could do something useful for the people of this state.
I applaud the Geists for their courageous and wise decision. I suspect that the state of Minnesota thanks them, too.

(31,989 posts)Is such a small thing to do. It boggles my mind how some people like these two turds are so honked off about it that they would move to another state. Just unreal.

(36,788 posts)Texas Guv Abbot said Texas has plenty of hospital beds.
Wonder how he is doing on that statement now?
This is from the Tribune article:
"I've been at my facility for the past 32 years and never in any of that time have I seen anything as devastating as the coronavirus pandemic."
There are 668 fewer occupied nursing home beds in South Dakota than there were a year ago.

(34,661 posts)Good luck with Health Care Geist's. It sucks in Sodak. Oh btw,there are zero Social Services available to most new mover inners. Oh btw,you thought your Real Estate Taxes were brutal in Minny,ah,wait till their County Tax bill shows up. You might like zero Income Tax but those Sales and use Taxes as well as Property Taxes will smack your bank account hard.
Depending on where you live,it could take up to a hour for Emergency Services to arrive.
Experienced.

(115,683 posts)of Minneapolis, nowhere near any of the incidents related to the killing of George Floyd. Nothing happened in Andover. If this numpty was sitting in his backyard in Andover with a rifle, waiting for rioters, he was bound to be disappointed. But covid rates are much worse now in SD than in MN, so he traded the exactly zero likelihood of being attacked by Antifa rioters for the substantial probability that, maskless and stupid, he and his equally clueless wife will end up in some ICU in a Sioux Falls hospital - where he will insist that he hasn't got covid because it's just a hoax.
