Got to be something with the posting function.  But the continuation of this thread is not that important.  It's just another scatterbrained attempt at misdirection by Davey. 

Ok, I read the entire sentence. Does it mean like kind of good? Not as bad as? You can fish it, but I won't? WTH does it mean. 

Yep; as always. Malboy's post was about layoffs and the budget and davie even reduced that feeble attempt to even less than what it was, by misdirection into semantics, of all things! So much disrespect. Why would they do these things to each other.

It wasn't just about layoffs.   It was about the less than brilliant plan to make deep cuts in employees in a very narrow field which has a vital purpose which is already underfunded.

Maybe you can clear up the semantics?  Others haven't.

Hiroad even asked for a source, and never got one relating the text copied.

My source was my memory.   That should  get a LMAO from you.

But I went back to try to discover where I read it and was unsuccessful but did find something from "The Iowa Policy Project" which says "Iowa and Illinois generate 28% of the nitrogen reaching the gulf".   That would put Iowa as one of the worst or the worst in nitrogen pollution.

If you want to compare turbidity, e-coli, algae blooms, BOD, phosphorus, chlorides, sulphates, or a host of other organic and inorganic compounds, temperature, acidity, or fecal matter, to prove otherwise, feel free to search elsewhere.
