I don't live in Iowa but have a small farm and live surrounded by farmers and ranchers. You have to understand that these people have the tiniest of perspective to the world. They spend almost their entire lives on one property, rarely go anywhere due to the nature of farming, and constantly have right-wing radio on in the truck and the barn and fox news on at home. You combine that with limited education across multiple generations and you have a group of people perfectly suited to consistently buy into propaganda and almost never able to identify things that will eat their face in the end.

Gross. Just gross.

The fact that you even weighed the pros and cons of your proposal puts you light years ahead of most hiring managers.

This is an editorial. Mr. Ludwig, the author, is providing statistics from his own institute. Doesn't mean he's automatically wrong, just that the article should be viewed as any other editorial, rather than statement of fact.

He's not wearing a tie at all. (Gasps)
