State of Iowa 2024 by the numbers.

Or someone with a disability (kicked off state insurance)

Or a public school kid who’s had funding robbed from them.

Or to avoid cancer.

Or to be healthy (given our obesity rate, poor air, and poor water)

Or to get a life saving medical abortion as a woman.

Or to avoid child labor.

Or to be Black (horrendous inequalities and sentencing disparities)

Face it, the state is getting worse on Republicans’ watch.

My goodness you are a fool.

If it’s so bad, pack your chit up and move a state north or a state east.

So instead of electing better representatives THAT is your solution, Mr. Deep Thinker? 😆

I’m assuming you are black, with dumb kids, fighting cancer, and wife is pregnant and doesn’t want another Menace Jr?

Am I close?

Here’s your chance to tell the world your STRUGGLES.
 
So by simply having a dem in there ALL those problems you say will simple vanish?

LMFAO
They would be better. Democrats are at least somewhat better educated, more informed, more intelligent, more humane, and more forward thinking than Republicans today. These are just facts. Sorry about your feelings.

Not even close, but I see lots of room for improvement and I actually read and stay informed on my state. You should try it. You might learn something. 😉

You’re a miserable loser that hangs around here 24/7.

#1 state for retirement?

Goodfellas GIF
Just because I’m living here, solar. I’m a phuquin’ rock star! ;)
 
Define educational achievement.
That’s rich. Was any of the OP information sourced other than form the tweet? Yet you ask for someone else’s definitions and sources. Dollars to donuts that came from a right wing think tank.
 
To be fair a lot of older Iowans stay and die here. I guess that boosts the retirement number? Only the dull and the poor like the OP stick around.
People with money and young Iowans are leaving this state as fast as they can.
No one with means and disposable income retires to Iowa. Hell, my dad would live in Costa Rica or his house in south Florida 12 months of the year if it weren’t for tax reasons. A lot of retirees sitting on farmland they rent out tax free if they maintain residency.

The only reason people don't retire to Iowa from other places in large numbers, is because of the winter weather, the cost of living is one of the best in the country. Iowa doesn't have beaches or mountains but it has a great quality of life.

What quality of life? Other states have things to do in winter. Iowa? Not so much, maybe get fat? There’s nothing to do in Iowa. Absolutely nothing outside of a couple lakes and college football games. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Cost of living is often directly attributed to population growth and demand.

You have 123,000 posts. I think this board is all YOU have.
In 17 years in a few weeks. Zinged me good. I post on a wide variety subjects, including Hawkeye sports. I posted about women's basketball before it was hip. I started game threads in the Lounge at one point.
@NorthernHawkeye starts threads like this one as a plea for help and attention. I'm only surprised he didn't post that Iowa leads the nation in puppy dog kisses. Then he sits back and faps to the beating he is taking. It's weird.

90 percent of Iowa is crops. What's the draw beyond cheap housing?

Yeah I get it. Still, you've been here less time than I have and you have 10 times as many posts. Pretty ridiculous to claim anyone else only has this board.
 
That's one of the saddest/funniest parts of vouchers. Guys struggling like Doobi and Northern are paying for kids to go to Dowling, Xavier, and Regina, even though their parents make more than enough to pay the tuition.
Don’t forget Des Moines Christian, Grandview Baptist and those other evangelical “Christian” schools, too.

Spoken like someone who never been outside of Iowa…or his mom’s basement.
 
I'm not opposed to the reefer, but is that really one of your two top issues?
Yes. 7 back surgeries. I’ve gone the medical route in Iowa for marijuana and the process, price, locations, selection, etc all suck. I currently drive 90 miles into MO every month for what I need.

What is your top issue in Iowa in terms of how you vote for governor?
