The full text of the letter appears below.
The business community in Minnesota prides itself in providing leadership and solving problems to ensure a strong and vibrant state. The recent challenges facing our state have created widespread disruption and tragic loss of life. For the past several weeks, representatives of Minnesota’s business community have been working every day behind the scenes with federal, state and local officials to advance real solutions. These efforts have included close communication with the Governor, the White House, the Vice President and local mayors. There are ways for us to come together to foster progress.
With yesterday’s tragic news, we are calling for an immediate deescalation of tensions and for state, local and federal officials to work together to find real solutions.
We have been working for generations to build a strong and vibrant state here in Minnesota and will do so in the months and years ahead with equal and even greater commitment. In this difficult moment for our community, we call for peace and focused cooperation among local, state and federal leaders to achieve a swift and durable solution that enables families, businesses, our employees, and communities across Minnesota to resume our work to build a bright and prosperous future.
It's a non stance
It's a "we're afraid of them realizing how much the general strike scared us, please don't let them do it again"
You could read absolutely anything into that statement, it's so vague.
Nah, the message is “this shit is bad for business, we want the money machine to keep going brrrrr and this is getting in the way”
Yeah, but they're not identifying which shit it is.
It sounds like they're saying the shit with ice murdering Minnesotans is bad, but it could also be that the strikes are bad and ice should murder more Minnesotans.
Do they care how it ends, barring the buying not resuming? My money is on not especially, on the whole
I read they're working behind the scenes with the enforcement arm of the oppressors.
It does more than scare. If enough do it for long enough it’ll work. Pretty rapidly as well.
If it was nationwide they'd 25th amendment Trump faster than he could post about it.
Absolutely.
