17. Public Education...
...isn't a priority there. They'll tell you it isn't. They admit it. I've lived there and seen it.

But they've been picking our presidents for quite awhile now, and they're likely to continue doing so. Their population and the population of other southern states continues to climb at the expense of places like Ohio and Pennsylvania.

3. they were either too cheap to pay for a bigger billboard, or too dumb to ask for
a smaller font or they're just dumb.

5. Remember it took it least two people to accomplish that
The idiot who paid for the sign and

the idiot(s) who created it and put it up.

And nobody caught it.

Scary.

13. I think it's funny
I'm sure that whoever had the sign put up knows correct grammar, but was making a direct appeal to voters who talk one way and write another. But whether or not the poor grammar is intentional, at least they know correct science. Cuz, y'know, cloud seeding DON'T work.

21. How observant
Did you also notice the windows of the gas station were boarded up? Quite possible that it had been closed for a long time.
