Dude, you’re whining and bitching that there’s no blue collar jobs. Then you’re whining that when local companies DO get a job, that they do a shit job.

You’re all over the place on this one.

You hate welfare.

You think we need to spend more on public works/public safety

You hate the casino that creates thousands of welfare-replacing jobs and millions in local tax revenue that could fund more public works and public safety.

You hate that there’s no blue collar jobs in Pittsburgh.

You hate the fact that local companies built your stadium.

You hate the fact that Pittsburgh has cleaned up and is actually nice.

You hate that the Pittsburgh economy is so invested in sports and entertainment.

You work for the local professional baseball team.
