Equities markets got spoiled under ZIRP. They got addicted to it.

Anybody remember doing this in 7th grade Ohio History class? We had to memorize counties and their seats, around 15 at a time. The teacher split up the state into regions.

Oooo, movie theaters are critical for a decent Walkscore. And coffee shops.

That was Lucent Technolgies/AT&T. The building was that big. They demo'ed it but left the concrete.

Loosen or ignore regulations then private sector goes nuts with profit for a few years then financial mess for society for years even decades. Rinse and repeat.

I'm talking more about selling games. Sometimes the people's wallets just close. Yeah you get males under 25 on a constant basis but people with money just disappear for years sometimes.

Few people stay in the games industry past the 10-year mark. The lows are too low. I made it 13. Most people get in when it's really hot like I did.

If the industry wasn't oversupplied with applicants they wouldn't be able to treat people like crap which they are notorious for doing. Forced extreme overtime, firing people at the drop of a hat, layoffs galore, threatening, harassment etc.

While they are legit majors, we are graduating 10 times the amount needed. Now Nvidia claims they can almost AI all of them.

And now video games is a major. I can't imagine the allure of that to a 16-year-old boy especially now that they're not into cars anymore.

I attended two research schools and two non-research schools. I also worked for 13 additional professors at one research school. On average the non-research professors were far more charismatic than the research ones and had way better stories. There were a few interesting research ones but not like the non-research which were almost all memorable.

I knew about that. It's funded by the levy that passed a few years back. I suppose that's more of a "county school" since the whole county was able to vote on it.

SSU is now free for students up to two counties away from Scioto if they have a 3.0 high school GPA. Is this the first state school in Ohio to do so?

You don't get to "hold out" for the good job, you have to take the ones where they are pulling people off the street with a shepherd's hook while the good stuff makes you call back for 10 months. This along with H1-Bs made the $60k average income for new college graduate jobs we were all beat over the head with back in the '90s disappear.

New Jersey could teach Ohio about jughandles though

One thing that helps grades is that the vocational schools start at 8:30 or 9 rather than at night like the traditional schools so the kids are actually awake.

Still paying the piper for 2008. 2008 scared people away the trades and changed bank lending policies on a near-permanent basis. What happens when an industry develops a reputation for layoffs is that entire generations write off the industry as too unstable. Happened with factory jobs then happened to the trades and everyone went to college instead. NO MORE 2008S!

Not only that, but since males get no interest from white-collar employers except for sales and engineering in their early careers they get diverted to things like warehouses no matter how well-educated they are. Spend all that time in school only to be offered the same jobs that they could have gotten straight out of high school.

Yes. When property taxes are elevated such as they are in Franklin County (especially in the Polaris vicinity) CAUV rates become very attractive. And that Polaris tilling was under the pre-Kasich CAUV rates which were much lower. And high crop prices made it easier to reach minimum revenue per acred to qualify for CAUV rates.

Open land in Columbus gets planted with crops. When Polaris Amphitheater closed crop prices were so high the grounds got planted with corn. No demo had taken place yet.

Like the Bexley to Columbus transition on Main Street going east. The trees just stop when you cross the line.

Methinks people up there aren't used to being marketed to. I used to work for a regional economic development agency. We and our member entities had all sorts of marketing plans, many quite targeted.

PC gaming is finally regaining the kind of market share traction against console that it had in the late '90s

I kind of freak out thinking about being in medical buildings alone because the layouts are so labyrinthine. Good thing that when you are actually in them someone is with you.

FWIW, the Franklin County Coroner has been at OSU for years.
