Cryptocurrency - Investments, IRS, SEC and More with Tom Myers

We first met Tom Myers last month when he came in to offer some thoughts on Cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin and others. Over the past thirty days the media has picked up the story about how much value Bitcoin has lost and how regulators are looking more closely at investments. In fact the IRS has stepped up their questions when they found so few people were claiming trades and profits. We start to sort things out with Tom...

Business and Civil/Human Rights with Joshua Barr

He moved from South Carolina to Des Moines to become the director of the Des Moines Civil and Human Rights Commission. Here we ask Joshua Barr why he came to Des Moines, what he thinks about the community, the common issues raised when it comes to civil and human rights and how the process works.  From housing to age discrimination we cover lots of ground but the one area that has a clear focus, and that we have heard over and over, is economics and how, when that is better equalized, the city, state and nation can become more successful for all our citizens.

Yet the availability of beer, wine and spirits has evolved to the point where you can buy alcoholic drinks at the local convenience store, grocery store even drug store but only restaurants and bars must carry the very pricey insurance. Here we visit with Jessica Dunker from the Iowa Restaurant Association who is asking the Iowa Legislature to update the language so the rules reflect the times and do so before we drive out a major sector of our economy.  We think you'll find this interesting...
