    Wait so Ohio taxpayers are paying to get kids to private schools but the schools that Ohio taxpayers are paying for the students don’t have a ride‽

      What makes you think private schools aren’t getting any public money?

          Ohio.

          Ohio is now even Gen Z/A slang for roughly ‘cringeworthy, awkward, weird, bad’.

          https://www.merriam-webster.com/slang/ohio

          It is literally a meme how shitty Ohio is.

          My favorite, older example of this:

          Back in the 90s, early 00s… Ohio was far and away the state that the most US Astronauts came from, of those who made it to space.

          Why?

          Because Ohio sucks so much, it makes you want to literally leave Earth.

            It is literally a meme how shitty Ohio is.

            You can say this about a dozen US states.

            Ohio’s notable because of the sheer number of people who still live there, unlike New Hampshire or South Dakota or West Virginia or Oklahoma. But its right in line with your Florida and Texas and Pennsylvania, in that its cultivated itself as a lodestone for exploitable ecology and economic activity. And now it has to fight tooth and nail to keep the increasingly irate large public workforce submissive and pliant in order to impose the next indignity.

              But their point is that kids literally use the word “ohio” in speech when they need a word that means “cringeworthy, awkward, weird, bad”. Unlike the other states.

      It makes sense if you consider things in the context of greedy corrupt government officials getting bribed by wealthy corporations/people.

        I mean, it still doesn’t make that much sense (I feel like almost every child on those busses would be able to say which side is right or wrong in this case), but I see where you’re coming from
