No we don’t give a shit if a worthless leech like you dies. You’ve had over seventy years to add value to society.
Iowa really is a great place to live. One the lowest cost of living!!!

Nice talk for a man of great success and a pivotal leader in his community, Hitman. If only I could have worked for a man like you.
Oh no! Say it isn’t so!
Not as long as the taxes are low and the TrAnZ KiDZ are cleansed from society.
Retired for several years and hate living in this State. Was a registered Republican until recently.
Attended college in the 70s until I needed to return home to help on family farm.
BTW...I'd move tomorrow, but my wife doesn't want to live too far from grandkids.
Please explain how other states are more affordable for the rest of us. thanks
Where would you like to live?
Pacific Northwest? New England? Atlantic Coast?
Do you want to live where more people are or less people?
I am not trying to be a smart alec.
Could you vacation in your desired spot a couple of times a year? Do you think that would satisfy your appetite for someplace different? Or just make you more hungry to be live somewhere else?
You’ll all likely be dead from cancer in the next 10-15 years due to the application of excess pesticides and herbicides. If they don’t get you all the fertilizer and manure runoff in Iowa’s dirty, shitty water will.
And the dirty water, sucky winters and lets not forget the fantastic odds of developing cancer…but it is cheap and slow paced.
Please tell us the value you add to society, other than parody on a message board.🤡
You are a prime example of why fraggin superiors was popular in Nam.
Because, if you do not live here, then your opinion of the state has no basis. And, if you live in a place like Cali or NY, then I REALLY could understand your view of Iowa. Why are you so affraid to tell? LOL!
So much wrong here (except for the cancer rate...which has to do with Ag I am sure). But lets take the schools. Yes, Iowa used to be top five back in the 1990 under Republican Terry Brandstad (83-99). But, under Dem Tom Vilsack (99-07) Iowa started to decline. But today, Iowa is still top 15/16 in the nation in Education...ulike the liberal stronghold of Cali which is next to dead last at 49.
I come from a very large family and 15 years ago the younger nieces and nephews would graduate college and head out of state thinking life was better. Well, all but one have returned after starting a family because they realized Iowa was simply a better place to do that and that their dollar went farther here.
Something does need to be done to help these poor folks, but claiming their mental illness is "Normal" is not one of them.
What is the biggest thing you hate about this state? And, what state would you move to if you could? Thanks
We have our well water tested yearly and it is perfect. Our spring aquifer is better then what you can get in NY city.
Iowa…60 years of almost zero % of population growth!
It's nice to see someone as happy as a pig in shit. Enjoy your shit!
From a human standpoint, I'm disgusted by how Republicans have targeted legal action against immigrants who are here to earn a living to support their families.
I'm appalled how Republicans have refused to properly fund public education, and have instead chosen to subsidize parochial schools with public $$$.
I'm pissed that Republicans have attacked women's rights with the ENTIRE anti abortion legislation including Planned Parenthood(I have granddaughters).
You get the idea.
I'd only move to States like Minnesota, Colorado, or Arizona.
I realize politics have influenced many of my views, but this State is so Deep Red that I don't see things changing in my lifetime...and I am in my 70s.
End of rant.
Yep. Are you saying I did that? I didn’t see theirs until after I posted mine. Seems like a consensus…
Because if you weren't some MAGA propagandist and actually paid attention to the people who posted here you would already know where I live as I have made no secret of that. If you don't know, then that is your problem, not mine. But again, this thread was about Iowa, which suffers the same problem all midwestern states do and why the midwest has consistently lost population over the last several decades. It's not tax policy, it's not blue vs. red, it's cold as f**k winters. That's it. If economic policy had anything to do with it then Indiana and Iowa would have booming populations, which they don't.
The reality is it is difficult to make shitty weather a political issue. You can use it as a “deflection devise” to make social changes and mask political arguments but the fact remains…Iowa’s #1 problem has always been December, January and February… not taxes! I have never met an Iowan here in Az or Texas who has ever told me they “moved from Iowa” because of Iowa’s tax rates. The retirees will tell you they left because of “the weather” and younger Ex-Iowans will tell you they left for a better job/lifestyle than what they had in Iowa. But not one has ever told me….with a straight face, Iowa’s tax rates are what drove them away.
You mean where I said we USED to be top 5 under Brandstad, but now we are 15/16?
That doesn't bother me. It's better then having people homeless all around you and using the street as their bathroom.....you know, like SF.
And, where do you live? BTW, I don't have any hog farms within 10 miles of me. But, you must be a vegitarian...so you would be glad if there were none at all. LOL!
I REALLY appreciate the honest answer. I can understand with your political leanings where Iowa would not be the state for you...and that is fine. I would never live in MN because of politics...nor would I live in Colorado. I like visiting them and Colorado is beautiful. For me...this how I view those same topics:
Illegal Immigration - I am disgusted that the Dems want to give government handouts to people who crossed here illegally and do NOT have a job (of which, there are millions that fit that situation), while at the same time seeing so many American citizens who are in need and neglected. BTW, I have said many times, that we need to let those folks stay who have come here and are working and paying taxes.
Education - If you look back at my posting history, you will see that, although I personally have supported and sent my kids to our Catholic grade school, I am NOT for public money being sent for private schools. If you choose to go that route, it is on you and other tax payers should NOT be paying for my choice. We ALL need to support public education.
Abortion - I believe it is murder. How many millions of girls (and boys) have been taken by abortion. Preganacies are preventable. Now, I am ALL for getting money in the system to avoid unwanted pregnancies. And, I absolutly should not have to have my tax dollars going to fund PP and abortion. Bill Clinton was the best Dem on this topic.
Again, thanks for the honest response.
I am no more a MAGA propagandist, taen you are a Extreme Lib Propagandist...I mean unless you are one of those.
Now, unlike you, I don't live on here night and day. I am simply am too busy with family and life...so no, I would not know where you live by your previous post. LOL.
But, of course, you live in a blue state and that is fine. But again, your thoughts on Iowa have no real relavence to the grand scheme of things. If you don't like winters, thats fine. I happen to love all the seasons. But, that is not why I think Iowa is a great place to raise a family.
Never been to San Francisco…75 years old and never been there. I have no desire to go there, either. So no…I don’t know what it’s like in SF!
Do you miss it?
I live in Ioway. Not for long though, bought a place in New England and will be heading there in a couple months. Finally getting out of this boring ass state. my
M departure has zero to do with politics. Ioway is great for a certain kind of person. Sounds like you’re that kind of person and you’re happy as a pig in shit living here.
