EPA for that measure and then purple air is citizen scientists.

Purple air unfortunately read the pm2.5 a bit high. It's a well known issue with them. So EPA relies on their own monitors mainly. Also not all purple airs are placed in good locations (some read falsely high due to placement near vents etc ) and not all purple air are well maintained so will read high because of bugs in them,.other debris.

Respectfully, imo it's super overpriced and the store is tiny with very, very limited selection, which is mostly meh condition or picked through for anything cute. They have some cute shoes, but they're often very well loved and also expensive. Wouldn't be my recommendation. Good thrift places are kind of sparse here.

UPMC shouldn't have not for profit status. Medical systems in PA use this status to drive wild profits, which they just reinvest in growing the business and paying outsized salaries to c suite .. they can't retain 10% of the profit so they buy up buildings, build new treatment centers ... The status probably forces their reinvestment in growth

Ponderosa was different in the 80s.

No wait, I was a little kid and my family was poor af and this was all mom could afford when raising 2 kids.

I wonder what the Pondorosa and Hoss's inflection point is.

> Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
