It's an economic base now. If they secede the major companies there are not staying. They can grandstand all they want about Texas taxes but they will not want to lose our on being an American company and deal with trying to switch to bring a foreign company operating in the US.

The Ugly Renaissance by Alexander Lee
Tl;Dr all the artist and patrons of the Renaissance were pretty much deviants in every conceivable manner.
If Arkansas is any indication the GOP child care strategy is manual labor for the kids. Put them to work too.
I still don't think that the full impact of COVID is being accounted for in polling and voter outcomes. Yes the first wave hit blue areas hard and fast due to population density but with the vaccine and the ever growing amount of time it has been available I have to imagine it is almost exclusively hitting red areas now. COVID has not gone away but vaccinated people aren't dying at nearly the rate of the unvaccinated of which that group is pretty exclusively GOP or at least Maga. When some of these elections were coming down to the thousands of voters 3 years ago what happens when thousands of dedicated GOP voters are now dead?
That is how pretty much all states, not just Ohio, are layed out. The USA is massive in terms of land. Ohio is roughly the size of Germany. The play is to get 60-70-80 percent in major Metropolitan areas because the rest of the state is cows and corn. Only 7 counties had more than 100k votes cast in total with the three counties home to Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati accounting for almost 1/3 of the total votes cast. All 7 of those counties voted in favor of issue 1. Any district that doesn't have a major metro area is not viable. These areas are bleeding money and jobs and losing population. Eventually they will lose enough and Ohio will lose enough congressional seats that it will not be able to be reliably gerrymandered as heavily because of the population being so heavily centered in 3 locations. Ohio was one of the first test for GOP gerrymandering and it is a first look at what will happen when that is the only way they can win.
You forgot the go to defense of "I'm serious until I get called out then I'm just joking where is your sense of humor".
Democrats tried but the bills never got out of committee. Especially when had hit $5 a gallon nation wide.
In 20 years. We are working on the speed run.
I was rushed one morning and stopped by McDonald's for breakfast on my way to work and got the 2 breakfast burrito meal. It cost almost $11. I will pretty much never be getting McDonald's again since that should be one of the cheapest things on the menus.
Does he not realize that he doesn't hold the influence or the purse strings? The only reason Mitch let this go as far as it has is because there was enough bad optics from the house and Schumer was getting enough basic legislation done that there was cover from the bad publicity.
My recommendation for everyone on printers is to buy the cheapest new one you can find them at the first problem trash it and buy a new one. They are made so poorly it's not worth the headache.
Texas would have to lean super heavy on oil. I dint know enough about their economy but you're right there would be no more federal military money and you would probably see them drop in economic size to something like Spain. Not a 3rd world country by far but also no where near an economic power house.
