First off I find it laughable that this entire shut down was caused by a “mistake”.
Secondly, Let’s pretend this was a mistake, all the people responsible should still be thrown in prison. When you have this much power you don’t get to make mistakes.
Just like you don’t get off scott free for negligent manslaughter.
South Dakota is not a particularly expensive place to live. In fact South Dakota is notable for having the cost of living closest to the national average (at 99.8%). Sure there are cheaper states to live in but SD is by no means unaffordable. I loved the two years I lived there. My roommate and I split the cost of a 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment for $650 ($325 each). The internet was the only utility not included, only 30 buck a month.
This all said I grew up in CA and a shitty apartment there is 1600 minimum.
Why do we always use Germany as our example of an evil dictatorship When there are so many horrifying communist regimes to pick from. The people we are fighting against communists not fascists The people we are fighting against communists not fascists (there is a difference) and communism is objectively worse.

One of the top 20 in the nation. My professors continually talked about how successful businesses “partnered” with the government.
We had a ton of classes on social justice, and we were encourage to find ways to get government grants and to become “engaged” with our local politicians.
A very large number of big businesses understand the competition is difficult and that if they can become a A very large number of big businesses understand the competition is difficult and that if they can effectively become a “government branch” they will have access to zero expectations, infinite money, infinite protection, and a huge golden parachute.
Remember the vast majority of the upper class in this country was educated in highly left-wing schools.
These business people don’t like communism because they expect to be part of the proletariat class, they expect to be part of the politburo.
One of the first bigs Trump memes back in 2016 was https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MKH6PAoUuD0 After that everyone started calling other Trump supporters “centipedes” and later that became pedes.
He may have begged for repentance the next day or he may have continued to burn and pillage. We can’t go around making Life altering decisions based on what someone “may have done”. This is real life and as this young man found out, real life has real consequences
He made a conscious decision to join a group of communist activists out for their nightly loot and burn. The most important thing he ever accomplished with his life was teaching people all across the nation why you don’t attempt to harm this nation.
Purely economic factors!!!!!
