@af_iowa Iowa has a lot to improve upon. Water policy, agricultural policy, etc. but immigration has to be number one. Small town Iowa is the best place in the country to raise a family.
.@ZachLahn: "Graduates of Iowa colleges, who have 4.0s, are getting beat out at Iowa's own medical schools because they're bringing in students from out-of-state or foreign students. Iowa kids should have first say and first opportunity for those spots because they're more likely to stay in our communities."
@JudyStroyer808 It’s like going back in time and it’s the best place to raise kids. Very little crime too and the areas where it does happen are….predictable
These two images should be iconic. They tell the story. On the left: a young woman, who had been cheerful and happy, apparently on her way to visit a sick friend or relative. On the right: a degenerate black man, angry and volatile, 14 prior arrests, wandering around the streets, rambling nonsensically, violently assaulting any white woman he comes across. The two happen to cross paths and this is the aftermath.
For years now, our laws and institutions have dedicated themselves to protecting, coddling, and indulging the person on the right, often at the immediate expense of the person on the left. It was decided that the person on the right must be free, must be comfortable, must be cared for and fed and clothed, literally no matter what the cost.
A functional society organizes itself the opposite way. The priority is protecting the person on the left — the innocent woman (or child or man). The person on the right — the chronic, degenerate, dysfunctional criminal — is rightly seen as having no value to society, a net negative, and is thrown in a cage forever or simply executed. A functional society gives all the benefit, all the leeway, all the priority, to the person on left. But we don’t live in a functional society anymore.
Neocons are now telling young Americans to shut up about the Iran war and affordability, after Trump literally ran on stopping foreign wars and making life more affordable.
We can’t talk about the real reasons things are so expensive because 90% of Americans would have to admit how much damage they caused by being complete f**king idiots about Covid.
