new yorkers get a bum rap about being hostile because most of that stereotype is based on interactions tourists have with new yorkers on the street. because of all the charity people, homeless people, restaurant people, comedy club people, and assorted other groups trying to take their money on a constant basis, nyers on the street have adapted a fast gait and gruff demeanor.

once you get past that, people really open up because the whole city is a bunch of passport-carrying transplants who are far more inclusive than your average rust belt "I've known all my friends since elementary school and don't need any more" crowd. everybody is just trying to get a shot at all the things that only happen there. nobody moves there for palatial living conditions or expansive backyards or an abundance of quiet and privacy.

disrupting the post chain but to people posting about pgh upgrading to non-local cops. one of the biggest drivers of tension between citizens and the police is a racial under- or over-representation. municipalities that do not enforce a local hiring policy are statistically more likely to have an accurate racial makeup as they are able to select from a deeper and more skilled pool of candidates. pittsburgh is 65% white, yet the police force is 85% white. the paris of southeastern pennsylvania joins such cities as newark, jersey city, cincinnati, and st louis as one of only a handful of cities that enforce residency requirements.

it is a completely pro cocktail esp if the bartender makes a little show outta it

if you find yourself in new orleans go to the sazerac bar in the roosevelt hotel and order one, that's where several of the famous (ly corrupt) governors used to drink em



the cocktailer essentially does a little performance and ends it with a high pour it's fun

lol at anyone anyone who thinks a for profit company with a fiduciary duty to its shareholders is a way to reduce healthcare costs or has fewer costs than a government-run program. lol at shaggar for blaming the government for cost overruns in military procurement when the reason those happen is because for profit corps are literally stealing from the government

a final lol at the people itt who work for those medical corps and think those evil evil doctors and their corrupt non-profit hospitals are to blame for healthcare costs and not he labyrinthine regulations and paperwork that they create on a daily basis to suck out more shareholder profits and like daedalus I hope you are cast into the labyrinth to be devoured by the minotaur

healthcare is just one of those things too important to be left up to market forces and profit motive, you know? idk how we can have industry subsidies and not a basic system of care for all people in the country. poo poo, even let dental and optical be their own market, but there are too many medical bankruptcies for this poo poo. single payer would also let gov control the crazy drug prices we get charged as a subsidy for the rest of the world

what if they made their own ticketing agency, which also owned its own venues and reseller outlet?
what if, on the power of a few recognizable artists, they sign and promote new talent?
what if they got that talent to provide their work as independent contractors?
