@JordanLoperena I also never miss a chance to say 'Go Hawks' to anyone wearing Iowa State gear. Dropped that on a guy at the train station in Rome, Italy.
Hey @united, come someone in operations in Chicago get flight 5964 to Cedar Rapids (that was canceled on July 8th after multiple delays) and is now on its 4th delayed departure time today, figured out?
@willchamberlain As a nobody conservative in Iowa I find all this hand-wringing humorous. The choice is dysfunction or go-along-to-get-along? As long as establishment Washingtonians are in-charge from both parties the end result is the same. The ‘show’ might be different but it ends the same.
I have doubts that the representatives on these boards can, on an individual basis, articulate what specific criteria needs to be met to end mask requirements. Outsourcing leadership to a faceless local County Health Department isn’t leadership. That’s not goal-setting and
the basis for making sound and reasonable public health decisions. Good leadership isn’t leading people without sharing what the goals are and how success will be clearly and consistently measured. School boards are the arbitrators of whether our children mask or not but
Somehow, in what can only be considered statistically improbable, if not impossible, all of these Pharma companies made a safe and effective drug on their first attempt in a matter of months???? Big Pharma has a history of acting, at minimum, unethically and likely illegally.
places that endure longer and more frequent cold spells than Iowa? As a community in the upper Midwest, if we can’t figure out how to make in-person schooling reliable during the winter months than flip June and July with January and February. Run school March through December
In January 1989, the federal debt was approximately $69,437 per income-tax-paying household (in 2021 adjusted dollars).
In real terms, the current federal debt of $287,859 per income-tax-paying household is more than four times that much. @TerryJeffrey

@HawkEyeDoc True but the data will tell us that in relatively short order. Let the data drive the solution. 16 months in and we haven’t done that yet. The data thru May ‘20 is the same thru May ‘21.
@HawkEyeDoc The solution to neutralizing C-19 has always been to protect the most vulnerable, ie, 65+ and all-age with comorbidities. The vast majority of both of those demos are vaxed plus many many more. New variants or not, it is done wreaking havoc at anything close to 2020 scale.
@HawkEyeDoc Fair enough. I’ve become mRNA hesitant, especially for my under 14s, without knowing the long-term (years) impact of the tech. Frankly, I find the obsession with forcing something on people who are hesitant, to be creepy at best and dictatorial at worse.
@HawkEyeDoc But, if the effort that is being put into getting everyone vaxed was simply put into getting >65 plus all-aged with comorbidities (obese and diabetic) vaxed, the IFR would plummet. Target the demos that this virus actually discriminates against. Much better ROI on PSA dollars.
