Despite the epic length of Minneapolis in December, I neglected to include a few photos. Here are official posters within the Skyway from the local government:
(Unless the person in the vaccine promotion photo is at least 75, he/she/ze/they isn’t eligible for both flu (age minimum: 65) and COVID-19 (age minimum: 75) shots in the Science-driven UK NHS system.)
What kind of person can drink a “Homie” Coke without being guilty of cultural appropriation?
The smartest folks in Minnesota says that Somalis “[contribute] $8 billion to the Minnesota economy” (presumably annually):
This could be true if $8 billion in federal welfare funds flow into Minnesota because 80 percent of Somalis in Minnesota are entitled to welfare:
But if this is a contribution in the conventional (non-welfare) sense, why isn’t there any other country in the world that will pay us to send them Somalis whom we have chosen to deport? Or that will set up a migrant recruiting booth in Mogadishu? Other countries don’t want to become $8 billion richer every year?
Fast Company explains the campaign behind the custom Coke cans:
> The bones of the concept are the same as when it debuted more than a decade ago: In each local market, a range of the most popular regional names has been selected and printed onto Coke bottles and cans
So look for:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Somali_names
Probably will be valuable collectors items in New Somalia, U.S.A. My first thought was “Homie? Are they putting cocaine back in it?” Hunter Biden, do you wish to comment?
Imagine that: a Wikipedia page in English, for English readers and speakers, listing Somali names.
I guess Western civilization will eventually begin adopting Somali names.
Look at who Phil left behind in Florida (Green Cay Wetlands, Boynton Beach):

Some great blue herons migrate, but like the Somalians in Minneapolis, these have such a cushy life in Florida they never leave.
