Still married to 1st husband. Did my part against globalist depopulation agenda. Ugh all my siblings are Millennials. Goats and chickens are my retirement plan.
@IowaSenate This is EXACTLY the issue my family cares about! I don't want my children anywhere near the government indoctrination centers called "public schools". Private schools have much better education results on MUCH less money.

@lsferguson I hire teens. But in many ways my hands are tied due to "child labor laws." These laws ONLY protect kids from getting jobs. I cannot let 14-15 year olds work half of the food equipment in our business. We are a small shop--I cannot pay an employee who can only do half the job...
@Notwokenow I see this... And raise you failing "acceptable" levels of farm chemicals in said tap water..... So paying more for poisoned water. Sometimes it smells like a pond....
@RepAprilDelaney Wow. I'm a married, rural woman. Not only do I have my passport, but ALL my children have them TOO! Even better, I paid for all of these myself. Why do you think women like me are too stupid to obtain necessary documents, and too lazy to pay for them?? You're a lying evil witch..
@Public_Citizen Isn't having your ID / documents on hand part of being an ADULT? How can anyone function without these things? You can't get a paycheck, travel, register for school, etc etc....
This is a really good article. AI is going to wipe out millions of jobs. It’s happening now. Everything is changing. The avalanche is already here. Most of what we’re currently arguing about will be irrelevant very soon.
@hinsonashley OORRRR... We could let Iowans keep their money in the first place, and not have it mostly wasted on its way through the federal government before a little bit trickles back to the state for infrastructure.....
@JoshuaBarzon A real job is better for your teenager than sitting in school 9 hours. Let them do their school in any alternative way that takes a few hours, then they should be working. And paying for an increasing number of their own bills (gas, clothes, phone, gifts for others, etc).
@smsunsparkle Wonder how I've been able to conduct business AND VOTE for the last 25 years then...?? Weird. You're a moron, and YOU shouldn't be allowed to vote....
