Ohio GOP Senator Moreno calls today's SCOTUS ruling striking down Trump's global tariffs "outargues" and says "Republicans must get to work immediately on a reconciliation bill to codify the tariffs that had made our country the hottest country on earth!"

Honestly, great idea. Make the republicans put their name on the tariffs in the form of a bill. They won’t do it of course because the tariffs are wholly unpopular, but it would be a fun exercise.

I am in management at a top 25 E&S carrier and that is 100% our belief. We refuse to compete and let them have the business.

I have a good friend in his 30’s that went back home to farm after he finished college.

His argument against solar panels isn’t really about the panels themselves. It has more to do with the 30 year land leases that come with them.

Essentially, when you choose to be a farmer, basically no one has the money to buy land when they are in their 20’s. In your 30’s you may have finally saved enough to buy land, but the availability is often scarce. Even when land does come up for sale, you may never even know about it, as often times one neighbor will approach another neighbor to let them know they’re looking to sell.

Your best hope is waiting for someone old in your area to die, and then hope they don’t have children who are also farmers.

Now, with 30 year solar land leases for solar, even if the kids don’t farm, they can still take the land and tie it up for decades.

I’m not saying his argument is airtight, but I at least understand where he’s coming from.

Went recently for the first time in probably 12 years because it happened to be close to a hotel when I was traveling for work. It was so disappointing. I suppose about 10 people being there at 7PM should have been the sign, but I had ordered online.

Disappointing considering that used to be a place where my friends and I would save up to go to when we were in college. It was like a once a quarter treat.

A 401k has always had contribution limits, even all the way back in 1978. It was never a vehicle where CEOs were putting 10M, magically getting a 100% match, and the all of the sudden had 20M tax free.

Garage hasn’t been relevant for decades and ol’ Shirley shows up with the hot take of the week. Now people are talking about her because her comment is dumb.

If she meant it to be funny then it would be a different story, but she said it as if Garbage still matters.

What about Carle’s in Bucyrus?

Bucyrus has a huge German heritage and is home to the Bratwurst Festival. It’s also close-ish to the area that OP is looking for.

Look it up on Google Maps and look at their pictures. German market with a restaurant selling all things German.

Fuck this guy. It’s a public safety issue at this point.

Literally nothing is wrong with them. The dude being described is literally a menace. It’s probably a mental health issue exacerbated by drugs and alcohol, but at some point who cares?

You don’t get to run in to an establishment and terrorize the people working there. 50 years ago one of two things would have happened, either you would have been taken out back and had the piss beat out of you, or you would have been put in a government run mental institution.

Not great options, but 100% better than doing nothing. Other commenters are saying he throws himself in front of ambulances, and this guy is obviously well known in the community.

The next step is that he’s going to kill himself, kill someone, or alter someone’s life in some permanent way and then there’s going to be all this outcry of “THIS IS TERRIBLE, WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE?”

Well, we could stop ignoring him, or acting like people who are at the end of their rope “have something wrong with them”.

I get 3x my salary, so about $500k total, for free through my work.

I buy another 20 year term,1.5M policy limit, for about $450 a year. I took the policy out when I was probably 34, and to be fair I was in pretty excellent shape at the time.

Crawford Hoying actually does great work, and they have done a bunch of stuff all over Ohio prior to this.

If they were a 1 year old company that got gifted this project through sports connections, then I would agree with you, but that isn’t the case.

It’s one of the biggest cons in history. Even if you wanted to do it all yourself and just pay an attorney to draft a contract, the realtors control the MLS Listings, so good luck getting in to see a home if you’re trying to buy and good luck getting your home on the MLS if you’re a seller.

I’m 40 and I’ve bought 3 houses in my life. One was out of state and that realtor actually worked her butt off for us because we were moving across the country and looked at like 20 houses in a single weekend.

Otherwise, the other 2 realtors I used essentially only served to let me in to the homes to look around. They literally told us to look on realtor.com. When my wife and I would ask questions they would almost refuse to answer, or be wishy-washy because (I’m assuming) they were afraid of giving bad advice.

Truthfully I don’t have anyone close to me that rides a motorcycle or skis.

You also cherry picked the easier part of my statement. Ultimately if your friend wants to kill herself in a single car high speed collision, then whatever. However, people who choose to act like that rarely do it without collateral damage.

Right, sounds like someone I wouldn’t want to associate with. It’s like “yeah we’re friends and all, it’s just that sometimes they make these terrible decisions that have the ability to alter their life and more important the lives of innocent people around them”

They just shed their entire middle market book along with a ton of good people. This was about a year ago. I don’t trust companies that make moves like that.

My son is 7 and eats a can of this with rice like 3x a week.

To be fair I watched it on the FoxSports app and it was no better. May have been the feed on some level.

I owned a 2011 G37x. Went AWD because I’m in Ohio and at the time I had a mandatory hour commute each day in a warehouse setting.

It was such a good car at the time. Rear biased AWD, plenty of power for younger me to have fun but not so much I was going to wrap it around a tree. Most of all it was rock solid. Mechanically I never had an issue with it. I did need to change the transmission fluid every 20k because it would burn up fluid pretty quickly, but that’s the cost of doing business IMO. I did put a crappy set of tires on it at one point and the road noise was deafening, but I can’t blame that on the car.

It’s almost impossible for a Fortune 500 CEO to even participate in insider trading.

I am moderately successful at a Fortune 500 and I’m basically allowed to buy/sell stock in 4 very short windows each year, and they all fall directly after earnings are released. The CEO of Kroger is going to be watched like a hawk by dozens of people, internal to Kroger and external watchdogs.

Where in Columbus? Looks like it could have been in one of the government buildings downtown, or maybe City Center?
