    Just curious if there is actually anything bad about this guy. Seriously, what’s the worst thing you have heard about him?

      Despite using the surname Walz, he’s actually not a very good dancer.

        That’s because Walz ≠ Waltz.

        Yeah and then he quit drinking and stuck with it and tried to quit his teaching job because he felt like he would no longer be a good rolemodel for his students. While the DUI is bad, he handled it in about the most responsible way possible.

        Crazily, statistically, every seventh person you meet in Minnesota has had a DUI.

          statistically, every seventh person you meet in Minnesota has had a DUI.

          I did the math and if you include every DWI from 1998-2017 you get ~11% of people. Though this isn’t accounting for the same driver getting caught multiple times so it’s probably lower.

          (counted the total to be 635,818)

          That’s genuinely a LOT higher than I thought it would be. Its ~1/10 and probably less if you include reoffenders but that’s insane.

          Also note that the punishment for getting caught for DWI in mini-soda is pretty light

            You may be right, but only counting DUIs from a 19-year timeframe means you’re not capturing a LOT of DUIs when you “did the math.” You’re likely missing enough to make the number about, oh, 1 in 7.

            I was directly relaying what the Minnesota Department of Health said in 2021.
