I was trying to illustrate that there are different ways to 'vote' for what you want in the world.

At the end of the day you are electing your officials in Ohio and they are the ones helping to make these things happen.

tl;dr - reward good behavior and specifically do not reward bad behavior.

In purely practical terms, upsetting a small number of constituents is not nearly as risky as upsetting a corporation such as Comcast, Verizon, and ATT. I say small number because the average Ohioan isn’t even going to realize this is happening. And, the most a citizen can do to voice their displeasure and hold the politicians accountable is casting a single vote to the opposition. And that’s assuming this is a dealbreaker that would cause someone to cross sides.

Meanwhile these big companies can spend wildly on political opponents, hit pieces, or withhold donation money.

I really dislike this rhetoric. You are not wrong but at the same time I think too many groups hold fast to this notion that people are weak and powerless and need government to take care of them. So if you can’t move, you’re just gonna stay for the rest of your life in a state you hate? No way, live free or die. It might take longer but it can be done.

I don’t think that’s entirely realistic, I was able to do it when I worked at McDonald’s and they actually pay better here relative to rents than they did at the time. There a certainly people in that situation but it’s a relatively small %.

Michigan has nice lakes and forests, but the economic opportunities in the most beautiful parts of the state (the northern lower peninsula and the upper peninsula) seem very limited.

For the kind of work I do living there wouldn't work. If I were willing to move to a "remote work"-only lifestyle it might be possible, but that's what I want. My family visits Michigan almost every summer, gets wistful thinking about how wonderful it would be to live in some of these beautiful and wild places, then runs the numbers and discovers it wouldn't be economically feasible.
