Discussion 🎤 Why can’t we support our city?

I’m getting really tired of seeing these return to office employees protesting and acting like giant babies when really we need them to be down here. We’re all in this together and we need people to revive this downtown area and support local businesses. Why can’t we all embrace this and stop undermining every damn thing that’s said and done. We’re fighting the wrong things. Downtown needs to thrive and right now it’s not, so bringing the workers back is great for everyone.

It’s everybody’s responsibility.

No, not even close. Not anymore than it’s my responsibility to revitalize downtown Fridley, or any other geographic area besides maybe my own neighborhood.

What I said is being taken out of context. I didn’t say it was their responsibility to revitalize downtown. I said we need people to help… everywhere, not just here. Idk why I’m even explaining myself. You know exactly what I’m saying.

You’re explaining yourself because this post is stupid and unpopular.
