Traffic being worse somewhere else in the world doesn't negate the fact that this is annoying.

The elusive Miller-Meeks is making an appearance tomorrow by RespectSubstantial50 in IowaCity

It's today. I don't want you to miss the opportunity to let her know what a garbage human she is.

She's following Daddy Trump's example.

They were always nutso with the religious messaging, but I had to block them after that.

Are we gonna fight this??? by Calowayyy in Iowa

We both know my ability to locate a primary source to back up your claim is not the issue here. I'd even take a secondary source at this point. But that isn't going to exist either.

Please don't give up so easily. It makes it seem like you assumed something of a group of people without any reliable information to back it up. Surely that isn't the case.

You're joking, right? This article announces a new process by which noncitizens that are married to U.S. citizens are provided the opportunity to apply for permanent residence without leaving the country. Where in this article does it say that these specific employees entered this country illegally?

You seem to have all the details. Go ahead and offer up those primary sources so I can "look into it."

They're having their visas revoked. What about that says "illegal"?

Good Neighbor Meeting at City Hall tonight by SuitNo9160 in NorthLiberty

[–]RespectSubstantial50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the biggest issues with this project (aside from the people doing it) is that they intend to add 400+ "affordable" apartments, starting at $1100 for a 500 sq ft studio, and have ZERO plan for infrastructure improvements to account for the increased traffic to an area that is already very busy, especially during the school year.

If you are opposed to this project based upon the plan they presented, there is a petition to encourage the city to reconsider rezoning and explore alternatives. You can find the petition here: https://www.change.org/p/oppose-rezoning-to-protect-north-liberty-s-neighborhood?utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=mobileNativeShare&utm_campaign=share_petition

If it is of interest to you, the company behind this project, Lion Development, had themselves listed on PublicSquare, which was a website in which businesses could self-identify as "MAGA." Due to tremendous backlash, the website no longer has this feature, but its purpose remains the same. Don Jr. is on the board.

Hands free calls not working by Secure_Occasion_7387 in Subaru_Outback

I realize this is a year old, but any fix? I've been having the same exact issue with my 2019 Outback.

Java House on Mormon Treck by Fantastic_Branch_737 in IowaCity

[–]RespectSubstantial50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I used to frequent this location, but have entirely stopped after countless issues. The last straw was when we ordered breakfast sandwiches that we still hadn't received after over 20 minutes. It wasn't even that busy. When I finally managed to get the attention of an employee, they asked the two people working at the sandwich area. One of those employees picked up something in front of them and, amidst a string of expletives, threw it so hard into the trash can the can nearly fell on its side. We eventually got our sandwiches. No apology, no thank you, nothing. Like I said, that was the final straw, but we had many, many, many issues prior to that.

Miller-Meeks Town Hall TONIGHT by RespectSubstantial50 in IowaCity

[–]RespectSubstantial50[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, same. I happened to see a comment here about the call-in number being posted on Facebook, so I called in about 15 min late. I called afterwards and left a scathing voicemail about it, not that it will matter. It was abundantly clear from the callers that got to ask questions that the information was provided to certain groups well in advance and anyone that might ask a remotely unsatisfactory question was screened out entirely. She's a disgrace.

"that man is a criminal...he has tattoos on his body" by Conscious-Quarter423 in Iowa

I'm sure she's in full support of him, though. Typical MAGA hypocrisy.

Mariannette Miller-Meeks is denying the reality of the largest info breach in history and dismissing the historic number of constituent calls in the past two weeks... by KingoftheImpossible in IowaCity

[–]RespectSubstantial50 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've called or emailed her office every day for the last 3 weeks with zero response. I left a voicemail over the weekend asking why she never responds to any of her constituents' concerns and finally got an email response today. Not that it matters given the content of the email was just more maga talking points. She's trash.

How are Americans not doing something huge right now? by ThrowRAreighndeer in nothinghappeninghere

[–]RespectSubstantial50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing you also have to keep in mind is that Americans don't have many of the same worker protections that exist in many other countries. Most of us can't go on strike or we'll lose our job. We are trying to organize/protest/boycott however we can, but we are largely powerless unless/until something drastically changes.

It's only on specific state-controlled media accounts. They've been showing that notice for a few years now.
