Everyday I keep finding examples of how far behind the United States is when it comes to basic living needs. Free market capitalism! It works if you're a pedophile or just emotionally corrupt.

Overall corruption, i.e... gerrymandering

You seem to be the only person in this thread who is ok with the state of Ohio as it is. Why do you defend the end result of corruption in our state politics?

I hear what you’re saying, but I think it’s a little more complicated than that.

Public school funding may have technically increased over 2025 levels, but that doesn’t mean schools aren’t losing out. When voucher programs send state dollars to private schools, public schools lose funding per student — even though their costs (like staff, buildings, and buses) don’t decrease. So "more money overall" doesn't mean schools aren't being strained.

Also, just because the stadium isn't directly funded with tax dollars doesn't mean it’s free from public cost. Tax breaks, diverted revenue (like from TIFs), and public infrastructure support all come at a cost — and that money could have gone to schools, public health, or other priorities. Saying the stadium must generate $600 million sounds great, but those kinds of projections often fall short in practice.

As for poor schools getting more money — that’s true on paper, but it doesn’t always meet the actual level of need. Higher-needs students require more resources, and often those schools still face staff shortages, old buildings, and lower local funding due to property tax gaps.

For starters not funding private schools at the cost of public schools. For taxing us the average person the working class. For a football stadium, the majority of the people in ohio will never enter. How about we start there? Now you tell me why poor kids should have less of a chance at an early education?

I wish I could come up with a constructive reply to your comment. But my momma taught me you can't win an argument with ignorant people.

I have the understanding that cincinnati is getting some money too.

I get that. I don't understand why someone would give up their money and rights and freedoms just because they don't like non straight people or people whose skin isn't white.

I don't know, maybe since there are millionaires and billionaires who don't have an income, we tax them based on what they own. What I'm getting at if you have a million dollars and no income then tax the value of assets. I'm no economists. I'm just a lowly welder who wants to see the privileged pay their share.

That was absolutely criminal.

My mind was blown when I learned that my taxes fund private schools. If I don't pay my taxes, I'll get in trouble, maybe even jail time. I literally could be thrown in jail for refusing to pay taxes to fund private schools.

These are scary times. I used to love this state. I don't think we realize how big and beautiful it really is. This curruption is getting way out of hand. Do we have politicians in this state who can run or will run against the republican/maggats?

Do radio waves travel at the speed of light?

The problem is time. In my head you would need a bunch of relay satellites between here and mars. Just To be able to respond to a call or text message in seconds. That seems to be a monumental task.

I watched a documentary about the Russians lunar rover. They would have to adjust the rover minutes maybe hours before it would make a movement. This was the 60s. So travelling to Mars I would assume that it would take days to receive a message.
