I support a 140% top marginal tax rate. For every dollar you earn above $10 million, you have to pay $1.40.

Skyways are bad for urbanism though, it kills life at the street level. Dress properly with layering and even sub-zero temps are mostly comfortable, I walk almost everywhere in winter and it really isn't that bad.

The computers at DFAS stopped paying him because as far as they were concerned, the only way you could stop being retired was by being dead.

Why on earth would a bridge between two buildings "kill life at the street level"? If it weren't there, the only difference would be a bigger crowd at the crosswalk in winter.

Most of the shops that would have street fronts are now on the 2nd floor walkways because you don't need to go outside.

In places like Minneapolis they're not simply a bridge between two buildings but a network of indoor corridors that let you walk all over a given area between potentially dozens of buildings.

Oh, I see, I looked it up and they're way more extensive in some cities than I imagined. I've only ever seen two buildings connected by a bridge.

Montreal has underground corridors between building downtown, people still use the streets when it’s not, you know, -40. Because who wants to walk through a mall all day?

Well, they're non-Americans who have access to great public transit and a culture that appreciates a walkable urban lifestyle. Can't say that about most of America.

I've spent a limited amount of time in the DC suburbs but if Crystal City and Arlington are anything to judge by, even the parts of Alexandria close to the metro, it's pretty soulless. Luckily DC itself for the most part has one of the most vibrant and interesting cityscapes in America.

I've always been astonished by how Trump managed to find the shittiest possible people in career government positions, then promote them. I'm less surprised by the amount of bullshit he manages to pull with the security state. That structure really is dependant on the President actually giving a poo poo about security and/or the future of the country.
