*** Cyclone Fanatic Cereal Tournament: Final Four ***
Cracklin’ Oat Bran is criminally underrated. That being said, CTC is clearly the best cereal remaining. -

S-Corp LLC Help
Not to be a complete poindexter but... There's a lot of conflation between entity types (for purposes of registration from the state) and taxation structures. It's also frustrating that many of the names are quite similar. An LLC is a limited liability company, which is one of the many types... -

*** Cyclone Fanatic Cereal Tournament: Sweet Sixteen ***
Corn flakes were created by the Kellogg brothers to prevent masturbation at their sanitarium they ran. Its some messed up stuff. -

Recommended Contractor(s)- Des Moines
Thanks. Honestly, it could have been SO much worse. We are very lucky that we were at least a few blocks away from where things were really bad. The cats were definitely terrified, and they may never forgive me for failing to control the weather.... But other than that, we are all healthy and... -

Recommended Contractor(s)- Des Moines
Hi all. I live in Pleasant Hill- we had some tornado damage. Fortunately the touchdown was a few blocks away so it could have been worse… We are going to need to replace siding (and patch some holes), roof, fence, deck, garage door, gutters, and some other minor repairs. Does anyone have... -

Does every fanbase overhype their potential draft picks?
I will die on the hill that Mike Brandtner could have been an NFL punter. Lord knows he had plenty of practice at ISU. -

FTC Bans/Voids Non-Compete Clauses
Certainly- our first step is ALWAYS a demand letter, and we rarely get into full-blown litigation. The reality is, litigation is long and expensive, and often by the time a case would be heard, the noncompete would have expired anyway.. that’s why initial hearings on injunctions are so... -

FTC Bans/Voids Non-Compete Clauses
Noncompete enforceability depends on where you live. Iowa noncompetes are absolutely enforceable, so long as they are reasonable in terms of time/distance. It’s not like there is an absolute rule for the length of both, but a good rule of thumb is that 50 miles and 2 years is likely going to be... -

FTC Bans/Voids Non-Compete Clauses
Lawyers are not allowed to have noncompete agreements. Our profession survives with people joining/leaving firms just fine. It causes some stress if a big partner leaves a firm, but our business is often more focused on the individual anyway. -

FTC Bans/Voids Non-Compete Clauses
Well, I generally agree with you, actually. From a philosophical perspective, I think the benefits for workers of free movement (and wage competition) far outweigh the cons for businesses. Some business owners would argue that noncompetes help to avoid situations where one employer... -

FTC Bans/Voids Non-Compete Clauses
I’ve been loosely following this over the past year from when there was the original suggestion going into public comment. I am an attorney who does a smattering of estate planning and business/transactional work. Noncompetes are a big contention point in my business, particularly in... -

Hey Millennials, want to feel old?
I'm a later millennial, born in the early 90s. Home computers and internet were definitely a thing for us, but not until around middle school-ish. We were young enough to have computer class, but old enough to also remember life before internet. At least, that was my experience.. maybe my... -

Hey Millennials, want to feel old?
It's hilarious! It's an old mel brooks movie that's a spoof of westerns. I love the movie, actually. People like to use Blazing Saddles as an example of a movie that would be "cancelled" today, or a movie that would never be made today. The problem is that it's not actually a movie that... -

Hey Millennials, want to feel old?
It's funny, I've seen countless members of older generations complaining about millennials/younger preventing blazing saddles from being made again.. and yet,I've seen few, if any, younger people complaining about blazing saddles. Millennials were the teenagers who made movies like tropic...
