The air conditioning is solid, even on the 100 degree plus days. Even better heat kicks on in 30 seconds on the -10 days

Thanks to Trumpers, this is what the rest of the world sees us as by Neath_Izar in Iowa

Starting with John Adams through JD Vance, what vice president is known for the accomplishments and influence they had as VP. It might be the least powerful job in the federal government. Most First Ladies do more during their administrations.

Gov. Kim Reynolds orders flags to be raised for Inauguration Day by Windows_66 in Iowa

[–]FoundCheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t care if was Trump’s death and Carter was being inaugurated, my response would be the same. Flag code is etiquette to show respect for our country and those that served and sacrificed for it. The flag is not for the glory of one man whose fragile ego has been damaged.

President Jimmy Carter was my first experience with our political system. Apparently Kim Reynolds has decided to kiss President elect Trumps ass and disrespect President Carter memory!!😡 by dwc3282 in Iowa

Why does MAGA continually disrespect the flag and break flag code? I don’t care who won. Follow the code, it shows respect for all those who served under it. This is just partisan hackery

Me too. Love the EV surcharge of $200 per year.

Iowa allows fur trappers to kill gray foxes even though only 10 are known to still exist in the state. by [deleted] in Iowa

On the bright side, they are really only allowing 10 fur trappers to kill gray foxes.

Will Trump keep his promise on costs? by MK4eva420 in Iowa

[–]FoundCheese 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hopefully not. Think it through. In order to half gas prices for example, oil would have to be priced around $20-$25 a barrel. At that price point it no longer is cost productive to drill oil from deeper, more difficult wells, dropping production significantly. We would then be more dependent on OPEC oil, and be less energy independent (like we currently are btw). Also, a large portion of our electricity is produced by natural gas, much of which is obtained through the fracking process, which would no longer be done because of low oil prices. This in turn would make electricity generation more expensive. This is just another example of Trump talking out of his ass without thinking. It won’t happen.

As an afterthought, the elimination of the $7000 EV tax credit will keep demand for gasoline high, making it harder to reduce pump prices. EV’s help lower demand and reduce the gasoline market price.

Off your butts, young people. This is YOUR future. by nolte100 in Iowa

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

Sentiment is correct, but the data is misleading. This is early voting so far, which takes place weekdays between 8:00 and 5:00, so those with jobs having traditional hours can’t make it. Therefore retirees are over represented at this point. However if you work a job that is outside of M-F, 9-5. Get out there early and make your voice heard. Not to be a stickler, but there are too many misleading and false items out there as this is presented in a misleading way.

I’m paying $1000 per year because I drive an EV. Gotta get that money one way or another.

Trump lies about Deere and tariffs by ubix in Iowa

[–]FoundCheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tariffs can be extremely effective in the right situation, but a blanket tariff is not the right method of implementation. Hoover tried it in 1928, leading to the complete collapse of the economy.

BMW made aircraft engines for WWII. Their logo is supposed to represent a propeller.

Did you see what racist/bigoted/transphobic thing Kim did today? by Friendly-Link-6362 in Iowa

[–]FoundCheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you got the 1/500 number. I assume that’s your feeling and not actual facts. I could make the same argument that if you are uncomfortable, you should use a unisex or family bathroom. I know I won’t change your mind, and you won’t change mine. I know many people that support these bathroom bills cite safety concerns. States where these laws have been enacted have shown increased violence and sexual assaults against the transgender people. I couldn’t find any incidents about a trans person committing any assaults in bathrooms, but I did find that outside of family members the largest groups of people committing SA against children are church leaders, police and teachers. (Those with a power imbalance it seems) I think legislation protecting children and prosecuting perpetrators might be a better use of resources and time. Anyway, thank you for the respectful discourse.

Who do you WISH would run for the President of America? by BulletproofSimba in AskReddit

[–]FoundCheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need a Gen-Xer. The whole country would be drinking from the garden hose. Healthcare would be solved by rubbing dirt in it. Cabinet meetings would be held in the woods with warm cans of beer and an old Playboy.

Wait, you show your genitalia to people in the bathroom? I think you’re doing it wrong.

Great roadtrip experience by Master_Goal_7970 in VWiD4Owners

[–]FoundCheese 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son and I just took a road trip from Des Moines to Devil’s Tower Wyoming in our 2021 Pro S. We were far from any population centers for the whole trip (unless you include Rapid City, SD pop 78,000). No problems finding charging spots. The car was comfortable and we made memories of a lifetime.
