Apple lobbied against an Iowa law that limits requires participants in high school women's sports to prove that they are biological women. A journalist told Fox News Digital that this campaign frustrates Iowans, who have effectively subsidized Apple.
Wheeler, also a Republican, said:"Iowans love common sense. They love science. This bill obviously fits both."The Iowa Standard editor told FOX Business that this is a cautionary tale against providing incentives for Silicon Valley companies to"pollute the waters of Iowa values." Hall also said thatwealth and subsidies gave the Silicon Valley company an unfair advantage to influence public policy and receive government benefits.
"The average Iowan is not going to get a tax credit like the one Apple got, and they certainly aren't going to have highly paid lobbyists up at the Capitol advocating for their behalf, advocating for their beliefs, advocating for their values," Hall said. "A corporate culture can’t be what defines a community’s culture," Nunn told FOX Business.

Gender identity and gender fluidity don't work well on the farm.
Wheeler said that it was"ironic" that Apple had only hired lobbyists for the legislation regarding girl's sports, given other Iowa bills related to"They’re nowhere to be found on any of those," Wheeler said.
