my finger hurts from scrolling down to find north dakota

So let's see...
MN has lakes, hills and trees. Man, it's sure tough to get in my car and drive 30 minutes to all those things. It would be a lot easier if I lived in Moorhead for sure!
MN is more well known than ND. I bet that makes life better east of the Red River. Congrats.
More big companies have started in MN than ND. Wow, awesome! How many of you Minnesotans are cashing in on all the revenue generated by these HUGE companies? Didn't think so. Oh, I suppose your wacky state uses some sort of profit sharing with these big companies so everyone enjoys the spoils!
Since MN has a higher GDP than ND, you people that live there will take credit for that? It's funny since I know a ton of you MN people work in ND, including the one that posted those stats. I also don't see how that makes it a better state to live in???
This is coming from someone that spent 2/3 of my life in MN (18 years).

first hand experience, id rather travel 3 hours to minneapolis then 3 hours to bismarck.not because obviously minneapolis is better city then bismarck
but the drive on 94 through north dakota is enough to put a bullet through a mans brain.

Driving to Jamestown is crappy enough, let alone Bismarck. -
i think west fargo is dragged out as well

The overall index ranges between 0 and 100. An index number greater than 50 indicates growth, and an index under 50 forecasts a sluggish economy for the next three to six months.
