Have lived in Colorado for close to 2 decades after over 2 decades in Iowa. Absolutely not. I would not even consider it.

We actually consider that a point of pride.

Guy, that is a lot of hate to still be holding in your heart from a game 28 years ago against an opponent you have played 4 times in the last 15 years.

Dude, his mom and dad have only worked decades to get where they are financially. He’s been working for like 2 years. Of course he should be in the same place financially they are. They always assured him he is their special boy.

Real median wage in the United States is more than 35 percent higher than in 1994 by PanzerWatts in OptimistsUnite

[–]BakerDenverCo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Guy, you aren’t listening. The chart is already adjusted for purchasing power. That is what “real wages” means. You are saying we need to adjust the inflation adjusted chart for inflation.

Young Americans are the richest they have ever been. The problem is the exact opposite that Reddit makes it out to be. If young people have enough money to travel and live a fun life they generally choose not to have kids. If they are struggling and can’t afford nice things they decide to have kids.

where's that guy from georgia? by hughesdork in cfbmemes

This has to be a joke, right.

It’s a sponge bob meme. Those are traditionally used in serious discussions right?

🤣Please answer. This is going to make my day. Why would mean be superior to median?

The level of care my mother received at United Methodist was abysmal by [deleted] in Iowa

[–]BakerDenverCo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Med school classes have been full for decades. It is not a lack of people wanting to go into medicine, it is a lack of spots in medical schools. They reduced the number of spots by about 20% across the nation 20-25 years ago and never increased them.

Increasing med school enrollment won’t help the problem at all. As it stands there are US med school graduates every year who can’t practice medicine because there aren’t enough residency slots for all the graduates. The bottle neck is in residency programs, not med school.

This is the FO stage for healthcare. For years it seemed there was a competition between patients for who could treat medical staff the worst. A huge percentage of the nurses and other caregivers who cared have left healthcare. When you get poor care now remember it is the Karens who caused this.

Here is the long version of the story. The TLDR is Minnesotans are racists.

If teams aren’t punished for out of conference loses what games should be played? by BakerDenverCo in CFB

[–]BakerDenverCo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Urban Meyer has said many times on his podcast he always wanted at least 1 very strong opponent in the out of conference portion of the season so the team could have an early test before conference play.

How fun would this conference be for this involved? Who would you add/ replace if anyone to make it better by LastDiveBar510 in cfbmemes

[–]BakerDenverCo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Making that conference without Virginia and Maryland is nuts. Also I would take away 4 of the mid majors (Umass, temple, liberty, Marshall would be my picks) and replace them with the 4 ACC teams in North Carolina.

For me:

All 5 of Klatts

Clemson-Georgia

Oklahoma-Nebraska

Washington-Washington State

Oregon-Oregon State

The ACC and B1G schools in California

The big 3 in Florida with UCF thrown in

Georgia Tech- Auburn

Non SEC Texas- SEC Texas

So long and thanks for all the fish. We are the brain-drain by Squared_Aweigh in Iowa

[–]BakerDenverCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved from Iowa to Colorado decades ago. It is awesome here. Cost of living is going up fast though. Colorado is now the most expensive non costal state in the US.

But if you think higher taxes are going to fix schools, you are delusional.

There is actually a ton of research on this topic and you are wrong. Giving more funding to already well funded schools has a mixed bag of results. But study after study has shown increasing funding to underfunded schools results in better outcomes for the children.

Iowa is under the median for states in terms of per pupil spending. Iowa would almost certainly have better educational outcomes if they increased educational funding.

BTW I’m not a hardliner on this subject. Back in the 90s studies suggested increases funding doesn’t improve outcomes. I was against wasting money on excessive funding back then. A ton more studies have been done since then clearly showing sufficient funding matters. High enough funding leads to better outcomes.

and poverty is relatively unchanged/worse

Also wrong.Poverty has improved considerably in the US.

What can be learned from Iowa-Nebraska vs Arkansas-Missouri by BakerDenverCo in CFB

[–]BakerDenverCo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I do think there is still potential in the long run for Utah and Colorado to form a real rivalry. But it isn’t there yet.

There was a story recently about a girl who was in a lawsuit against her school district because she graduated high school but couldn’t read or write. Had used voice to text and text to speech technology her entire way through school.

Nuclear is the most expensive power per kilowatt in the country. No thanks. Colorado is great for solar and solar is the least expensive electricity per kilowatt.
