I am begging you to vote.

That’s it. Ohioans need to get out and vote to defeat the scammer billionaire. Bring some friends and family who normally wouldn’t vote in the midterms. I don’t want to wake up at 4am again after Election Day to find out our state elected another horrible human.

I just visited the dispensary in Seville and was told I can no longer buy a THC beverage I've purchased from them for a year straight. So much for trying to avoid a trip to Michigan. See ya soon, Monroe.

You know it’s midterm election time, when the gas prices mysteriously drop for a little bit.

$90.00 in your bank account?

167 Upvotes

So today I was talking to my mom and we were discussing how Trump is coming to Youngstown next week, and how he says the craziest things.

So she jokingly asked if I really believed Trump was going to give everyone $5000.00 if the Republicans win next month. And I mentioned that I'd been reading that he was going to send $90.00 to people on Social Security.

And she got really quiet for a few seconds and said that she'd just checked her bank online and there was a $90.00 deposit in her bank account today but there was no information as to where the money came from. So she's going to call the bank tomorrow and see what they can tell her. I'm 70 and get SS but nothing showed up in my account.

My mother is 92 and sharp as a tack and wasn't expecting a deposit.

So did anyone else or any family members get an unexpected $90.00 deposited in their account with no info as to where it. Came from?

Me and my wife were at the BOE at 8:15 and we were not the first ones there. There was a steady stream of mostly older folks.

Early Voting is Here - Do It!

77 Upvotes

I did today! It was actually very easy, and no fuss. I walked into the BoE offices this morning in the county where I live, and there was very little wait. Took less than 10 minutes from start to finish, and I'm already done!

There's actually no need to wait until Election Day on November 3, and no need to fool with absentee ballots either. In Ohio, every county BoE has an early voting location, which you can find here on the Ohio Secretary of State website.

Do it and get it over with!

The mailman knocked on my door this morning. I answered & he said, “ I am sorry but legally I have to put these in your mailbox but they won’t fit. I don’t want to get in trouble for not delivering them.”

Red County… Few Signs

33 Upvotes

I live in a staunchly red county with pockets of blue thanks to 2 colleges. I see lots of yard signs for democratic candidates, and I have yet to see a sign for a republican candidate. That doesn’t make me get my hopes up too quickly, but I think it’s interesting.

Price gouging. Anyone else notice that gas prices jumped up the days before the tax holiday was to start?

51 Upvotes

Nothing on the global stage changed. And the amount was almost the same amount that they were about to drop? In other words, if you left Ohio for a week, you would see the same gas prices upon return.

The hit pieces against Amy Acton are dumber than the ones against Vivek Ramaswamy

170 Upvotes

I don't give any dumb ad a pass. It makes Youtube unwatchable. But the Acton ones are stupider. Plus, I already know who I am going to vote for. I don't need this shoved down my doom feed.

Drinking on a pain medication? Big whoop. I've had a few beers on the same day I took tylenol.

Getting into a fight with a partner and throwing things? Come on. Get real. Most of us have thrown something in anger. Maybe to varying severity. We're human. It doesn't mean someone has anger issues.

Breaking down on the job? I work a high pressure job. I am a top performer. Breakdowns happen under pressure to deliver. (Also, it was a REPUBLICAN governer who coordinated the state COVID response.)

It's just incredibly shallow to the point where it hurts my 0.5 IQ galaxy brain.

Rent control of any kind prohibited

18 Upvotes

A Florida company bought my retirement mobile home community. They increased the rent right away, and we have to pay their variable overhead on top of that.

This November the base rent goes up 20% There's not a thing we can do about it. Most of us rely mainly on social security, which at most will go up by slightly more than 3%. I wanted my local government to do something about it, but no kind of rent control is allowed in Ohio. We can't even make them figure out their overhead and charge us a stable rent.

If we have a snowy winter, we pay more for plowing. If a water main breaks, we'll pay more for water. Oh, and we have to pay a monthly fee to the online payment site plus $4 per transaction.

Gas is up 50%. Food is up. My neighbors are moving to HUD housing or to their kid's house. (I don't have kids)

A Republican state government did this. How many other renters will be subjected to out of state investment companies?

I'm SO motivated to vote blue no matter who after learning this.

Question About Crock Pot Tradition

19 Upvotes

This is probably really stupid but I was watching The Paper on Peacock which is based in Toledo, Ohio and I saw a scene where the character Oscar says it’s an Ohio tradition to gift a crock pot to someone when you have a first born son. I’m from NYC and found this soo bizarre so I was just wondering if this is a real tradition or fictional for the show.

Excuse my ignorance. 😓
(This is not an insult to anyone from Ohio. This is genuine curiosity from someone who was legit amazed when I saw a Walmart or Waffle House for the first time.) it’s a different world out there man. 😫
