Reply to comment by [deleted] in 700,000 without Power in Michigan by detroitdiesel

Ok, as a Michigander, I take offense at you referring to Michigan as part of "the Ohio region"

Where the fuck did that come from? Michigan already has a region. The Great Lakes region.

Edit: how are the Michis looking these days?

A lot of people have lost power, some of my family members included. I was in a traffic jam due to traffic lights being out today.

I never lost power though, so I haven't been super affected

Lol how is that PC? It's a literal geographic description based on the most distinctive feature of the region

Uh it’s politically correct because it’s neutral and agreed by the people that live in the surrounding states? It is literally the term that is used. Like wtf is going on with people in this sub?
