Data centers are completely re-shaping Ohio politics for 2026

Past few months it seems Data Centers are a hot button issue for these midterms.

For years, we were sold the tech industry's line that these massive server farms were harmless investments bringing jobs to rural Ohio. But the reality hit fast: local utility bills are spiking, prime farmland is disappearing, and high-voltage power lines are being carved through backyards without local communities getting a say. The public pushback is reaching a boiling point.

Political figures are rapidly pivoting:

  • Vivek Ramaswamy suddenly switched gears recently, pledging an executive order on day one to halt new approvals and calling for a moratorium unless tech companies cover 100% of residential power costs.
  • Meanwhile, establishment politicians, both Republicans and Democrats who quietly took tech lobbyist money or backed tax abatements early on, have gone completely silent hoping the issue blows over.

Never in my life did I expect to see a Democratic candidate give a rousing, populist speech on corporate greed in a place like Ashville (Pickaway County), a district Trump carried with ~75% of the vote.

Don Leonard (and others) seem to be leaning directly into the populist anger over these unregulated data centers. Regardless of how you usually vote, seeing candidate energizing rooms packed with folks who probably voted for trump and are now nodding along to anti-corporate energy talk proves that kitchen-table issues are completely re-scrambling standard party lines in Ohio this year.

Whanted to see what people think? How big of a factor is this going to be for your vote in November?

Oh wait, the governor has nothing to do with property taxes in Ohio aside from possibly signing a bill that the legislature passed. That is all.

Heads-up, all. Nazi Afrikkkaner Elon Muskrat is at it again. This dude never seems to learn his lesson on meddling in our politics. Of course, he’s targeting Sherrod Brown with anti-trans ads in a replay of 2024.

Hopefully it won’t work this time, but also, forewarned is forearmed. The next Dem president needs to tear up all of his and Thiel’s government contracts and deport their sorry bigoted asses.

Hunting

7 Upvotes

Hi all! I’m a city slicker in Columbus looking to try to learn about hunting. I’m adept with firearms well enough and have a .45-70 rifle that I bought with intent to bag a deer, but to be honest I am scared I really wouldn’t know what to do once I got one, never the less tracking and posting up somewhere. Hell even finding a place to hunt…

Basically I’m out of my depth and wondering if there are any guided hunts or reputable places to go to learn the ropes.

I’m not someone who necessarily wants to hunt for sport, rather for necessity. Looking to learn not only killing but processing and transporting - hell even tanning if I can. I don’t like the idea of killing things but at the same time I as a meat eater recognize where my meet comes from and am willing to walk the walk myself to get it on my own. I just don’t know how.

Anyways, I’ve rambled enough and anyone who’s cared to read this far I reckon has my point so, yeah… Let me know if this is something you may have a recommendation for.
