As a lifelong Midwesterner,
</strong>
I’m thrilled my colleague Trung is writing about my fair region and its economic excellence. In honor of his write-up below, I’ll share a few other Midwestern treasures:
</p>
<ul style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 12px;">
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
We put ranch dressing on
<em>
everything
</em>
.
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
We say “ope” to apologize for
<em>
anything
</em>
.
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
We brag about being from the “No Coast.”
</li>
</ul>

The Economist

is my favorite publication. Its
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829; color: #d62829; text-decoration: none;">
special report on the US Midwest
</a>
was so good I had to write about it.

<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
I consider myself well-versed in business chatter, but the facts definitely surprised me. In my defense, I have an excuse: I’m Canadian 😂

It’s overlooked, but it’s huge
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
As our colleague Zack has noted, as of 2018, the
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829; color: #d62829; text-decoration: none;">
Midwest was responsible for ~20% of America’s GDP
</a>
, but it received only 5% of venture funding.

When money's too tight for other extravagances, the thinking goes, women buy lipstick to get a luxury fix.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
But the premise smudges faster than cheap lip gloss when you look at what’s happening now.
