Dear Editor:
I hate the internet. I don’t use social media. I don’t really know the difference between googling and bing-ing. But I gave it a shot today, and man is that AI thing is smart!
I think we all know that Hamilton County is an economic powerhouse. While I disagree with most of the ways our elected “leaders” handle our tax money, there is no arguing that this county is not only one of the fastest growing and most affluent places in the continental United States, but it also exerts influence far beyond our own borders.
I think we should not only be honest about that, but we should also try to overcome some of our Hoosier humility and start shouting it from the rooftops.
I spent a few minutes talking to my new robot friend about this topic today, and it came up with a brilliant idea: the HamCo+ Economic Zone. That robot even made a logo for it, which I’m submitting with this letter.
Hear me out.
If our leaders want to spend tens of thousands of dollars designing a slightly better version of this logo, OK.
If Hamilton County Tourism wants to monetize it, my robot and I have some ideas for you.
My robot friend, whom I am going to call Robbie, suggested I capitalize most of the Nouns, use a lot of bold type in the middle of sentences, and he also really likes Bullet-Point Lists. So here you go, straight from the Robo-Horse’s Mouth:
- HamCo+[insert italicized promo here]!
- HamCo+You!
Order your personalized HamCo+You! packet today at [insert website here]. For example: “HamCo+Adam!”
Order one for your Pet while you’re at it, because Pets are People, too!
- HamCo+Education!
- HamCo+BOT Agreements!
- HamCo+Live!
- HamCo+Work!
- HamCo+Play!
- HamCo+Symphony!
- HamCo+Dining!
- HamCo+Art!
- HamCo+Regional Development! The future is now here.
Whatever you want to do in HamCo+, there’s something for you!
If you use any of these ideas, I do expect a modest fee for the Intellectual Property Rights. Let’s say 2 percent of the Promotional Budget.
