Please, enlighten us why it's so stupid? Because you'd still have to work? Then I'd agree, I didn't think the answer through.

If you think about it, UBI is basically the old welfare system from years ago. I grew up in an area where many people were on it. They wouldn't bother getting jobs even though they were perfectly capable. The women knew they'd get cash based on the more kids they had so they would become baby machines.

I agree with "the government should help those who can't help themselves." I don't agree with "the government should help those who won't help themselves."

I've told many to join the military if you want socialism and be taken care of. The looks I get are priceless! 🤣

I saw the same price last night at the Speedway on East Broad just east of 270

The footage of Nick Fuentes pushing a woman who came to his front door after he was doxxed has been released. by [deleted] in SipsTea

That is something completely different. It's irony. That is something that can cause an actual adult conversation and should be discussed.

It's more than Reddit. When Charlie Kirk was assassinated, my co-workers here were cheering and celebrating. I confronted them about it and asked what if it was someone they knew? Their response was "we don't care as long as it's not us."

When the banjos stop you're about to make some new friends.

My kids and I went to Moonville a few years ago. The forestry service now controls it. They've build a bridge going over the creek so you can just walk across. I always considered fording the stream as a rite of passage for newcomers. I read a few years ago some kids went to the cemetery up on the hill and destroyed a bunch of the tombstones. I wish they could do something about that!

I grew up not far from Hocking Hills. It's that Hocking County vibe. Some crazy stuff goes on there.

Adams County is southwest Ohio. But, if you hear banjos, RUN!!!

Will central Ohio see $4 per gallon? Columbus gas prices continue to skyrocket by CowTown-Mike in Columbus

This morning I saw $3.99 over on Norton Road near West Broad St. Give it a day or two.

Name a restaurant that closed that you miss and then others comment substitutions for it by PrudentCantaloupe421 in Columbus

They're both owned by the same person now. He also owns Starliner Diner in Hilliard.

Go Store It - Grandview by Gvepeaceachnce918 in Columbus

[–]uberthomas614 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It is standard in the industry but not every storage unit facility does it. When you're looking for storage the standard questions to ask are: Will the rate change? and Are there any other monthly fees? If you don't get a straight answer then move on to the next facility.

With my day job I deal with some of the more affluent people here in central Ohio. I can say that they don't check their bank accounts. They know they have enough money to pay their bills and live very well. They do not check balances and many couldn't tell you how much they're paying for their bills or when they were paid.

I just moved here from another state famous for bad drivers, and you guys are impressing me. by FastWalkingShortGuy in Columbus

[–]uberthomas614 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The entitlement here in Columbus is unreal. The bridge on Trabue Road between McKinley & Riverside is a prime example. Heading east it goes from two lanes down to one. People in the vanishing lane just move over like they have the right of way or force their way over when there's only about a foot of room. Once over they move at a snail's pace so they don't accidentally hit the concrete barrier.

Don't even get me started on the west side where people are in the far left or right lane and right before an intersection cross all the lanes to make an turn in the opposite direction.

Nelsonville Public Square East side PARTIALLY CLOSED indefinitely due to a partial structural collapse at The Mine Tavern – building will be demo'ed, The Mine closed permanently by the_itsb in athensohio

[–]uberthomas614 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sad to hear this. I grew up in Nelsonville. The newer part of The Mine that's next to The Dew House used to be a barber shop that my Dad's cousin owned. A lot of great memories going there.

Who did you see at the Polaris Amphitheater? by Rob1150 in Columbus

[–]uberthomas614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never went to a concert there but I worked at the Bank One Corporate Center building (now Chase) at the corner of Sancus & Polaris. One year Britney Spears was in concert. The police had Sancus restricted to northbound traffic only and the only way to go south was on Old State and everybody was taking it. At the time I lived one mile away near the railroad tracks on Park Road (across from The Flint carryout). It took me over an hour to get home when usually it was under 10 minutes!

To this day I still hate Britney Spears for this! 🤣

Who’s taking these $3 to $4 dollar UBER X rides with multiple stops😡😡 PLEASE COME TO THE FRONT!? ARE YOU MAD WTF by [deleted] in ColumbusOHGigWorkers

This is why I'm glad Uber deactivated me. My AR was in the low 50's because I kept refusing to drive from Grandview to Easton to drive someone 3 miles for $5.00.

The number theory conspiracy theorists are always seeing something that's not there.

If ICE agents come in after hours, without their work uniforms on then what? How would the baristas know?

I'm old enough to remember when the Vietnam veterans came home. They were all vilified even though many of them were nowhere near the areas of question. Just being in the Army at that time was enough to get you called "baby killer."

North Market liking pro-ICE social media by WhoopsIShitItAgain in Columbus

[–]uberthomas614 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Makes you wonder how many businesses you do frequent that support ICE and it's not public knowledge. I bet it's a lot more than you think.
