    I'd assume the NE corner of Iowa is probably a big factor in that with the combination of what was big Union presence historically with packing and farm equipment makers plus it seemed like a lot of Irish Catholics too.

    As someone who's family has a beloved Head Cheese recipe, I can't slander processed reconstituted pork

    Not quite Chilli's but I did just achieve my lifelong dream of talking about the McRib with the international media (Reuters in this case) which I have to believe is a good omen.

    I would guess that in the absence of Covid stuff, the youth vote will go back to more day off due to lack of thinking ahead.

    They’re more likely to be in the same place than the Jewish or East Prussian relation would be too.

    I wonder if I still got any relation floating around Alsace after my Great-Great Grandfather decided Nebraska seemed like a better idea that hanging around after 1871.

    I’m sure we will go back through area again as the wife and I really enjoyed it. (Probably more delighted by the funicular than we should have been)

    I get it with the manure, it’s just part of me chuckling at the difference between Iowa guys and say Western Kansas guys when I work with both. Dubuque was great, only hit FOD because we need to kill a half hour until the Farm Toy Museum was opening.

    It’s more that when I saw him my first thought was it’s got to be too dry to be getting a seal behind the knives, and then I quickly confirmed he wasn’t. I’d also like to note as someone who played pretty much all his career baseball games, and most football games bounded by corn fields, the Field of Dreams was pretty meh.

    I don’t remember seeing it. I do remember a guy putting manure down right next to the Colo football field while they had a game going.

    I went to Dubuque and back last month and was surprised by the amount of Harris/Walz stuff and relative lack of Trump stuff going across and back on 20 and 30. I’d also like to note there is a difference in attitude between livestock guys and grain guys because of the labor difference, and 2020 showed them what happens when kill capacity goes away because you can’t store a fat hog or ready steer.

    My Iowa farmers are basically betting Trump will cut them a check again

    If you make it to Independence it’s not that far to Eisenhowers in Abilene Kansas too

    My mom convinced my Grandpa he was signing something else when he was signing her FAFSA in 1973 because he wasn’t sure women needed further education. (Ironically my Grandma was a college grad) He relented when she could point to her full ride after she sent it in. Not a chance in hell she’d ever vote for Trump

    Look I’ve lived here all my life and never remember what district I’m in so I have to name them both

    If Iowa goes Harris, don’t be shocked if NE-1 and NE-2 go blue

    Walz is a DC to the core. He knows his role, and it's to get stops.

    Have none of the folks trying to make a big deal of the garbage thing ever heard “hit dogs holler?”

    Dr. Pepper just took second place away this year, so it shows our country is slowly learning.

    Lucky for me as someone not running for office, I can confidently say Trump supporters are garbage.

    There was a murder suicide in Omaha yesterday where the shooter had a hard MAGA/Antivaxx break and choose killing his beloved special ed teacher wife in front of their teenage daughters instead of divorce

    Sure but those kids are going need a few years til they have the required strength to work in the plants.
  23. Royalfan5
    Going to need a lot of screws to keep an eye on all the guys with reciprocating knives.
  24. Royalfan5
    So if you are already need them cause your already short, what are you going to do when you make it a bunch shorter?
  25. Royalfan5
    Where you going to traffic the kids from? They've moved the packing plants to rural areas where there is nowhere near enough child labor available.
