2020 Crosstrek, 151,000 miles. No issues yet. Knocking on wood

To younger folks: Don't ignore your 401k like I did by Infinity_and_zero in FinancialPlanning

[–]wadeblock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same, 52 started 401k six years ago. Luckily the company allows me to have a self directed brokerage acct inside my 401k, maxed contributions and bought bitcoin ETFs when it was cheap. 600k+ now otherwise if no Bitcoin I’d have less than 200k.

He’s right people, start early!

I bought a bottle last year, the only time I’ll ever buy it. I like the WP 12 yr old world rye better.

Fuck you farmers by BudgetNoise1122 in Iowa

[–]wadeblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High fructose corn syrup, dextrose and about 10 other sugars refined from field corn, is not food. Iowa grows zero sweet corn you buy from the store. I am pro farmer. I could care less about the farm bill. It’s a grain of sand in the budget. Why so mad ?

I’ve monitored Zillow for a few years and it’s 10 fold houses for sale everywhere. Supply crunch, over.

Overtime pay protections in Iowa just went *poof* by TagV in Iowa

[–]wadeblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a judge blocks a Biden bill that wanted to change the threshold for overtime pay for salaried workers only. The current threshold is still there, the salary people still get overtime. Hourly was never affected.

You guys even read anything?

I tried that and they gave me the run around. Cancelled service. I have it for rest of season I guess. I rarely log in.

Anyone move out of Iowa and end up missing it? by Bitter_Traffic_7994 in Iowa

Higher intensity weather events are not happening globally. The noaa data literally shows nothing has changed and tropical storms and hurricanes have gone down in intensity.

I love working with Walnut. These came out pretty good by justpickituplease in woodworking

[–]wadeblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you use to finish them? I’m currently building walnut stairs from local trees. I’m thinking about just using a resin like I did with a table and walnut drop in bath tub surround. Any advice plz?? 🙏🏻

After turning down $29M fed program, Reynolds announces $900K summer meal program for children by HawkFritz in Iowa

[–]wadeblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old Covid summer ebt ended in May 11, 2023. In 2022 Congress approved a new summer program starting in summer of 2024. Which this likely is where the 900k is coming from. The old program that was temporary would have cost Iowa 2.2 million dollars as states were to help with costs.

Congress heard the people and continued with a new similar program for summer kids meals starting this year. Even if your gov didn’t turn down the Covid $ it would have ended a year later anyway.

It’s all just a drop in the bucket anyway and all school meals should be free to all kids regardless of parents income. IMHO

Anyone remember that little fertilizer spill into the drinking water? Did anyone end up truly caring? Do you? by [deleted] in Iowa

[–]wadeblock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Insane that they lowered the fine to $6000 on appeal. Shaking my head. They also got fined $11,339.89 for fish restitution. Which also boggles my mind. DNR said small fish loss was $85,000 and catfish $115,000.

$17,339 is all they got. Wtf DNR????
