I am actually from coastal cities. I shouldn't use the word `midwest` to hurt your feelings. Sorry about that. But I do hope that some of that money will get funneled into reviving the Midwest states and also the northern states that is struggling. From Mars.
I'm not from the rural mid west, but no one from the mid west uses underscores for emphasis.
But seriously, there are 65 million people living in the US midwest. I can promise that thousands of you guys use 'mid west', underscores, italics, and just about everything else.
