No other purpose; just to stir up Hate.

Job growth since December 2010 has been markedly stronger in Minnesota than Wisconsin, with Minnesota experiencing 11.0 percent growth in total nonfarm employment, compared with only 7.9 percent growth in Wisconsin. Minnesota’s job growth was better than Wisconsin’s in the overall private sector (12.5 percent vs. 9.7 percent) and in higher-wage industries, such as construction (38.6 percent vs. 26.0 percent) and education and health care (17.3 percent vs. 11.0 percent).
From 2010 to 2017, wages grew faster in Minnesota than in Wisconsin at every decile in the wage distribution. Low-wage workers experienced much stronger growth in Minnesota than Wisconsin, with inflation-adjusted wages at the 10th and 20th percentile rising by 8.6 percent and 9.7 percent, respectively, in Minnesota vs. 6.3 percent and 6.4 percent in Wisconsin.
Gender wage gaps also shrank more in Minnesota than in Wisconsin. From 2010 to 2017, women’s median wage as a share of men’s median wage rose by 3.0 percentage points in Minnesota, and by 1.5 percentage points in Wisconsin.

1. This might be true but in Wisconsin the few have profited at the expense of the many—clearly a superior system and more in line with our goals.
Okay now, I'm familiar with Minnesota, where Jugs, the BainsBane primitive, lives, but I know next to nothing about Wisconsin, as I haven't been over there since I was nine years old. Despite the hostile news media, I've been under the impression Wisconsin under their Republican governor and Republican legislature have been doing quite well, thank you.
Someone here who knows what they're talking about, please illuminate.
