Even Barr's coverup letter acknowledged that the Russians interfered in the election with the express goal of helping Trump. Birtherism was based on bullshit racism and nothing more than the sick imaginations of the GOP, Russian interference was very loving real.

The Tax Policy Center did a neat thing, if you like playing with numbers. I mentioned that they'd done a simulation of thousands of different alternatives to the big tax bill. They made an interactive tool where you can see the distributional effects across different households and income brackets.

I mean, the Antwon Rose II thing, yes gently caress the police.

Not talking about the people my problem with the burgh is that it's laid out like my first sim city game when I was a toddler and had no idea what I was doing. They expanded too fast, and the landscape wasn't twisted in a way to deal with that and you are left with a bunch of hill roads and houses that aren't a part of the grid system so going one block down could drastically change the type of road you are on, or the width of the road, or if it curves or if it suddenly goes up 90 degrees. It's not like this in one isolated section either, it's a bunch of sections pasted together that were never done in a uniformed state, so you gotta deal with a number of them in like the span of 5 minutes trying to get to Squirrel Hill.

It's got good spots to eat food and has good cultural landmarks, being able to get Soup dumplings from Everyday Noodle and then a day later going to get Hot Pot is just one of the benefits of it being a city and I don't see it as a true positive.

But the people are just garbage. It's a former coal town, with that hard rust mentality so you get a bunch of abrasive assholes that are struggling, and they will tell you that they are struggling. Some of them will tell you that they support progressive movements, but it always comes with a but. "I don't see why they need to call it Marriage" "I support the, but" "The issue isn't the cops, it's that he ran away". I've dealt with assholes from cities before, from New York to San Diego (the hippie kind) and the people here are just garbage.

It's this weird sense of like this city could be so loving much more, but it's just infested with a bunch of terrible people AND then you put the fact that the surrounding 360 area around the city is just so much worse. Washington and Fayette county are some of the most backwards areas in the state, with a huge meth problem, and most of them in mountains of debt from medical bills due to the coal industry and 88, but the moment you talk badly about Trump/The Gop they'll shut you down immediately and turn that nose right into the air to remind you about how bad the country is because of minorities/muslims/women.

But I came here from the tech industry that's invading the city, so people treat me like I'm the rear end in a top hat. So it's really whatever.
