    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.
