Iowa really has become a bottom tier state over the past 12+ years. The biggest draw, the lakes, rivers, and nature, is slowly going away or becoming unusable thanks to chemical runoff. You’re more likely to get cancer here than most other states thanks to all of the glychophosphates (weed killer) we freely throw all over, and the current government wants to take away your ability to sue the manufacturers responsible if you get sick. If you’re a minority, if you’re not in a big city, you will be treated like a second class citizen, and if you’re in the West, you should avoid stopping until you leave the state. The education system which used to rank well amongst other states has crumbled and it a bottom dweller, thanks to policies cutting funding and the voucher program enriching private schools. And to your point and all of them I’ve made, the state and most local government are comprised of slimy rats out to hurt others and make money for themselves.
If I were single, I’d have left this cesspool years ago even if I had to sell all of my stuff to do it. Unfortunately, my spouse isn’t willing to moving further away from her family. I’d tell my family they can come visit me at my new digs.
If you’re reading this, don’t come to Iowa. Don’t give this place any money. The brain drain is real, and I don’t see this changing. Watch the next election cycle. If Rob Sand, the only bright light in the Iowa legislature, wins the governorship, then there’s a chance. He’s the state auditor and wins bipartisan votes. He gets shit done and Brenda Bird, the super Nazi AG, keeps targeting him because he’s good. If he doesn’t win, all is for sure lost.
Man, I’ve stopped following politics in Iowa since I left that shit hole after trump won the first time, and I hate going back. I feel bad for my wife’s family who are stuck there and can’t afford to move, but no way in fuck would I stay there for anything longer than a long weekend.
Turdstache really fucked over the state, and it amazed me just how quickly the people dropped the mask and turned into the stereotypical hateful redneck goon people think of when thinking of backwoods Midwest.

Similar things are happening in Missouri too. Our politicians are even more insane though.
