  1. It will snowball. Less pork means people turn to something else. If there isn't enough then shortages start showing up in what people switch too. Nobody is going to starve...far from it...but it will have an impact. This goes without mentioning the economic factors that could drive down production.
  2. Very well may stay as such....might not as well.
  3. As intended so a simple majority cannot easily take away the rights of the minority. Its a brilliant system that should and will be kept.
  4. So the minority has a voice. Why not just get rid of the Senate as well? Really shocked that someone from a small state cannot still comprehend the current value in the ECS.
  5. Had a few social distancing beers Saturday with my buddy who runs the weaning operation in a large operation in southern Iowa. They are pretty much filling up their overflow capacity in the next few weeks and will have to make a decision on starting to destroy and bury or burn animals next week that the processors can't take. Many are likely aborting pigs and destroying the young ones. Say all you want that you don't believe what is going on but it is happening in places.
  6. Exploding in Blackhawk county. This is where the Tyson food plant in Waterloo was shut down. Pretty dramatic press conference there yesterday. 3 of the speakers were crying. 400+ new cases yesterday of which they reported over 90% are related to the Tyson foods plant. Other parts of the state are trying to open up while its really gaining steam there.
  7. I don't think anyone can deny China withheld information on the virus. They wouldn't let the WHO, CDC or anyone else's med community into help or investigate. We can debate all day about their motives but the actions speak volumes and need to come with severe consequences. Without question I think American's should think long and hard at which candidate is willing to do more. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/07/health/cdc-coronavirus-china.html
  8. He's one of the best. Actually surprised he gets away with what he does in today's politically correct world.
  9. Interesting choice of hulls. Shallow deadrise non stepped bottom.
  10. Dude's batshit crazy but has a valid point. Look at all 3 pages.
  11. One has to admit the timing of the virus with the signing of Phase 1 of the trade deal and China having a Pandemic waiver written in is suspicious to say the least. Add to it the fact that a Trump re-election was looking very likely considering the continued strength of the US economy and with Biden beating Bernie and continuing a fast mental decline. There is likely more circumstantial evidence for this than the dossier had.
  12. Yeah I do as well. My mom's mom had issues with mental illness as well and I've heard her tough stories. Just because I think its a selfish act in no way shape or form makes it about me. So double fuck off and die.....please.
  13. On me? Fuck dude why do you read into everything like that? A friend of a friend committed suicide. Guy had a young wife and two daughters. I seen what it did to her and her kids. I can't imagine the pain one must be in to think that is the best course of action however I still think its a selfish act and it has NOTHING to do about me. Fuck off already.
  14. Yep. Its a selfish act no matter who does it because you lay your pain on others.
  15. Study in 1981 calculated 40,000 for every 1% rise in unemployment. Likely much higher now because the population is 45%+ higher. Not just suicide but crime, drug overdose...you name it. If that study is remotely accurate it will likely be 15x's covid deaths.
  16. Yep. I'm not downplaying what they are seeing but killing yourself is a selfish act of the highest order. This.
  17. These are no wins for some.....because he's a liberal he should just deny it and it won't be questioned. Silence is worse. If he were to say what he said about Lucy Flores he looks guilty....can't even remotely do that when you are talking about shoving your fingers in someone. "In my many years on the campaign trail and in public life, I have offered countless handshakes, hugs, expressions of affection, support and comfort. And not once -- never -- did I believe I acted inappropriately. If it is suggested I did so, I will listen respectfully. But it was never my intention.
  18. I thought this was gonna be about putting a soft shell under your hard shell's to catch all the dropped toppings.
