In April, 2008, Minnesota saw 1,405 foreclosures , which was a 68 percent-rise over the same period in 2007, according to a RealtyTrac study. In the first quarter of 2008, Minnesota was hit with 4,231 foreclosures. By August in Minneapolis alone, 950 homes were abandoned, according to Minnesota Public Radio. Such homes were evacuated, locked, and the heat kept on to prevent pipes from freezing.

fantastical and fabricated. Remember when they raided

doozle brains who get paid to make shit up, real

request a bigger budget, allows the little rats to get
bigger pieces of booger cheese to munch on.

then we will be back to business as usual, yep, slow,
boring empire and ecocide, consumption and coersive
