Okay now, here we got a familiar face from Manny's message board, a jackpiner who stirs up race-hatred, gender-hatred, class-hatred, and now interstate-hatred by things she posts, just to cause malicious mischief.  No other purpose; just to stir up Hate.

As Wisconsin’s and Minnesota’s lawmakers took divergent paths, so did their econ

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.

Median household income in Minnesota grew by 7.2 percent from 2010 to 2016. In Wisconsin, it grew by 5.1 percent over the same period. Median family income exhibited a similar pattern, growing 8.5 percent in Minnesota compared with 6.4 percent 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.

I think what this putz is saying the ruling class has profited more than the workers, moving towards their goal of socialism / communism.

And people are eating less cheese.

It is a BS study that used annual data rather than quarterly.

https://www.americanexperiment.org/2018/05/since-governors-dayton-walker-took-office-minnesotas-economic-growth-lagged-wisconsins/

The EPI’s report is subtitled ‘Since 2010, Minnesota’s economy has performed far better for working families than Wisconsin’s’. So, the first thing I looked for was the section on GDP. This amounts to just a paragraph, without an accompanying chart, on page 19. I’ll quote it below in full

"Although gross domestic product (GDP) is a more abstract measure than many of the other measures already described, it is still worth noting that Minnesota also outperformed Wisconsin at the macroeconomic level, achieving stronger overall economic growth than Wisconsin in both aggregate and per-worker terms. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, from 2010 to 2016, Minnesota’s GDP grew by 12.8 percent in real (inflation adjusted) terms, while Wisconsin’s grew by 10.1 percent. The country as a whole had growth of 12.0 percent. On a per-worker basis, growth in Minnesota was 3.4 percent and in Wisconsin it was 2.7 percent. Nationally, per-worker GDP grew by only 0.1 percent."

It isn’t clear why the EPI are using annual data when there is quarterly data available covering the whole period. Indeed, the quarterly data runs into 2017. Using quarterly data allows us to select a more accurate base period, the fourth quarter of 2010, which covers October, November, and December. This is much more suitable for measuring the performances of guys who took office on the third day of the following quarter.

Table 1 shows the data for real GDP in the two states as downloaded from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Figure 1 is based on that data. Both show that, contrary to what the EPI argues, since the final quarter of 2010, the last one before Governors Dayton and Walker took office, Wisconsin’s economy has grown by 11.9% and Minnesota’s by 10.9%. Both, it is true, have lagged the national average.

Minneh-sootah has lutefisk. It's like spinach to Nordic people.

Obligatory Norski joke.   (You'll thank me for this)

Lars had been drinking sterkøl (strong beer) at his local pub all day and most of the night, celebrating syttende Mai (17 May)  .

Gunnar, the bartender says, 'You'll not be drinking anymore øl tonight, Lars'.

Lars replies, 'OK Gunnar, I'll be on my way then'. Lars spins around on his stool and steps off. He falls flat on his face.

'Uffda' he says and pulls himself up by the stool and dusts himself off. He takes a step towards the door and falls flat on his face, 'oh bloody UFFDA!'

He looks to the doorway and thinks to himself that if he can just get to the door and some fresh air he'll be fine.

He belly crawls to the door and shimmies up to the door frame. He sticks his head outside and takes a deep breath of fresh air, feels much better and takes a step out onto the sidewalk and falls flat on his face. 'Søren... I'm in bloody trouble,' he says.

Lars can see his house just a few doors down, and crawls to the door, hauls himself up the door frame, opens the door and shimmies inside. He takes a look up the stairs and says 'No bloody way....'

He crawls up the stairs to his bedroom door and says 'I can make it to the bed'. He takes a step into the room and falls flat on his face. He says 'uffda' and falls into bed.

The next morning, his wife, Jess, comes into the room ucarrying a cup of coffee and says, 'Get up Lars. Did you have a bit to drink last night ?'

Lars says, 'I did, Jess. I was dritta full. But how did you know?'

'Gunnar phoned .. . . You left your wheelchair at the pub.'
