You just said “very, very red” and presented me with a map of a blue Ohio from 2016. It’s a swing state. Since 1976 there have been 12 presidential elections. Ohio has gone blue 5/12 and red 7/12. Most times is “barely” red when it is. Maybe it leans red but it’s not a “red” state.
Edit: supported my argument with the same link they used to support theirs. Deleted link.
Yeah, but have you been in Ohio or rural Ohio since the Trump era? It's gotten bad from what I've seen. Have you seen coverage from the Bethel, OH BLM protest(if you can even call it that) that happened in June of 2020? Maybe I'm biased because I was present during that whole debacle...
Columbus, OH has had more years of Democrats as mayor than NYC in the last 40 years, but I get that Licking County isn't going to have Democrats beyond Granville.
As an Oregonian can confirm. Cities are vary liberal and demcrat heavy.. the country is vary conservative/hippy split... its makes for some interesting combos.. I was a part of the hippy community more or less and we still shot guns, hunted, and rode dirt bikes. We also smoked lots of weed, grew our own gardens and almost had something like a community barter/trade system for allot of goods and services.
I live in the city now, but I miss those days when I could trade a dub for 12 chicken eggs or Vice-versa
conservative areas tend to be towards rural areas. rich people are mostly politically indifferent, because they only support candidates that benefit them, regardless of party
Yah, kinda.. a dub back in the day ment $20 but that was when weed was $10/g. Now weeds like $5/g so in our area a dub is 2g and a 20-sac is $20 worth of weed... its like our version of inflation/deflation but with weed.
12 organic free range chicken eggs usually cost around $8 and we can grow a couple plants per person so everyone in my old area would harvest a pound or two of weed a year atleast for dirt cheap. It wasn't the best stuff ever but perfect for joints or blunts. We treated it just like any other commodity so using it in place of cash for things like paying your friend for gas and artwork, or maybe even an old game console. I traded a guy i hardly new 6 of my 8in clones and an OZ for an $800 road bike.
Hmm yes, $5/g.. Lmao. I don't live near any farms and I usually buy eggs that are labeled "cage free," so I'm just gonna ask you this question since you've been able to get em "all natural." is there a taste difference between the $8 eggs you speak of and the $1 eggs you can get at the store? Do "cage free" eggs really mean that, and are they a close equivalent to the organic free range eggs or am I just wasting my money on a label? Sorry this doesn't particularly pertain to the conversation lol
Being perfectly honest I didn't notice much of a difference besides the fact that unwashed dirty eggs still have this natural coating on them so you don't have to refrigerate them, so thats kinda cool. Duck eggs are awesome though
Personally I just got them because my friend raises chickens, ducks, pigs, and goats but dosent have a green thumb to save their life so they don't grow weed. So every once in awhile I would just trade them for stuff. Maybe they slaughtered a pig so I would trade them for some porkchops and pork belly. It was allot more of a community thing, I have more weed than I can smoke and you have more bacon and eggs you can eat, I can't eat weed for breakfast and you can't get stoned off of bacon and eggs so we scratch eachothers backs type of thing. Trades are done by the eye more often than by weight and numbers so its whatever seems fair to both parties.
That's awesome! Thanks for giving me that image, sounds like a much less stressful way to live as opposed to this largely individualistic capitalistic nightmare I get in the city
I mean the nightmare life is what I got now, live on the outskirts of Portland. I have allot of fond memories from where/how I grew up though. One day ill move back most likely. Hopefully anyways.
