    Cedar Rapids casino...

    There are new members on the commission now, I imagine they hope that the new members may view the reports differently. I do believe a Cedar Rapids Casino would steal business from Riverside, Meskwaki, and Waterloo. There is no way around that, it will ultimately come down to if enough new tax...

    Yes I agree like I said in my post this is intended to limit private sellers not people who actually setup and sell at Gun Shows.

    US to end 'gun show loophole' that allows sales without background checks

    Maybe guns shows are different in other states, I have purchased more than 1 gun at Iowa Gun Shows and have always had a background check completed by the dealer I purchased the gun through. I agree with you this regulation is likely to limit private sales. I don't see much changing at Gun...

    PSA: Starship's 3rd Integrated Test Flight tentatively scheduled for Pi Day March 14th

    It is crazy to think about just how far ahead Spacex is compared to all of the competition. Just this week Spacex landed a booster for the 284th time after sending a payload to orbit. This is something no other space company or government has done. Then you see the Starship launch last week...

    Exploding Energy Costs and Grid Frailty

    I have a friend working out in Palo installing the new solar project at the old nuclear plant. They have had to turn off some of the sections they have energized due to, to much power being on the grid. Makes me wonder why they haven't started installing the battery system yet on the site...

    Fun car question...

    My dad has purchased a couple of different fun cars that I have driven to Arizona in the winter from Iowa. The first one he tried out was a 2008 Saturn Sky. It was a fun car but was not very comfortable driving it across country. Next one he tried out several years later is a 2018 Infiniti...

    I've been telling you people that this ain't ready for prime time: Tesla recalls nearly ALL of its vehicles....

    I have a new GMC Sierra with adaptive cruise control. The system doesn't keep you centered in a lane it more bounces you from line to line. It does a good job slowing you down when traffic slows ahead, even taking you to a complete stop and then resuming speed when I have had turning traffic...

    In My Opinion, the GOP Demanding a Secure Border Is Best Thing GOP Has Done In Years

    I think that all states should have a law mimicking Arizona's for penalizing employers that knowingly hire illegal immigrants. https://www.tlnt.com/articles/court-upholds-arizonas-e-verify-law-penalties-for-using-unauthorized-workers

    PSA: Starship's 3rd Integrated Test Flight tentatively scheduled for Pi Day March 14th

    From what I heard they hit the planned destination which was just below orbit, but the lost the upper stage shortly after. What an amazing test. Can't wait for the next one.

    Is marketplace health insurance a scam?

    You should probably assume a 2 worker household if are calculating based on the family plan. I would also assume many jobs that are offering health insurance will likely pay their employees more than $15 an hour.

    Is marketplace health insurance a scam?

    Sorry to drag up an old post. But I was just reviewing my options since it is that time of the year again. I logged into my old Marketplace account and got a look at rates for the upcoming year. It appears all of the plans of HMO style of plans. Where I have been paying for PPO types of...
