My anecdote supports this. My former neighbor is a die hard trump conspiracy theorist. Thought Biden died when he announced he was dropping out of the race without making an appearance type. Grew up in rural Ohio. I mean he's the demographic.

But the nicest dude I've ever met. We lived on the fringe of the hood, and he was always out helping everyone he saw. Old black lady lived on the other side of me: shoved all her snow and never even told her it was him. Constantly stopping while walking his dogs to help people: carry groceries, clean your garage, move a couch. He truly didn't care who you were, what you looked like, or what your situation was, he was going to help.

He got married in glacier national park and never came back lol

A town that has been stagnant at 12000 people for 60 years doesn't spend, hell, doesnt have $25M to spend, for a project like this. There has got to be more to this story because this just doesn't make sense

Knock down buildings and widen a road, spending a lot of money and ruining infrastructure, to put in a parking lot in a town that sees no growth?

I think you don't appreciate abusive and controlling relationships for how bad they can be

Still cheaper than if you had to pay for human health problems (in the USA at least)

Let's not be fooled. They defended him because he could help them. Now that he's not polling as favorably, trump has less to offer for their support

How do you pronounce women? When I put those sounds together it makes more of a fush or fosh than fish .

Or do you say fish different than me?

Thats a take on the quote from anchor man... where this thread has devolved into.

"Where'd you get those suits? The toilet store?"

There's some of that. I know companies in my city were given tax breaks for hosting their office building there. The theory is, the business brings more people into the area who will be spending money on lunch/happy hour/gas/etc. The tax income of that is more than the tax benefit they offer the company.

Well, people stop coming to the office, and their tax benefit of the employees being in the city dries up. The city was threatening the companies tax benefit if the people didn't come back, and thus, RTO (in my city, anyway).

Being deliberate with your word choice so the intention of your words is ambiguous. Similar to "intentionally vague"

As an ohioian, I can assure you no one gives a shit about vance and he stands for nothing. He's a Muppet who says what he's told to say

History has shown what that impact is. Get out and fucking vote

up until now

Idk as an Ohioan, I've know this guys a piece of work for at least 8 years. No research was required when the pick was made to understand the ramifications. Dudes a Muppet. my first thought was "Trump got his 'yes man' who will do what Pence wouldn't."
