People stay home if they can, doomscroll and news binge ... focus on Minnesota ... the weather is resetting many lives and minds ... focus on what's important.

Not sure what that has to do with my post. Edited to add that I am not criticizing average people or DUers for ignoring this story. If anything, I am criticizing the media and using to show how much insanity there is that a story this big would not be the lead story on every broadcast.

Job losses. And time to watch the news on MN. And talk with family and friends about it.
