Because we're subsidizing them with our lives.

Is a couple dozen jobs worth giving children decades long health issues? If we paid them out to retire, they'd still be in the tax base.

Electric arc is the way of the future for steel. It's well understand and there's many designs already in use for it.

Except, the cost of conversion is less than the cost of just continuing to pollute, so US steel's board would literally be able to be held personally liable to the shareholders to change.

This is the current US system.

The local tax here is pretty simple. It's a flat %. You'll get a letter in the mail with all the instructions art the start of the year, and can fill it out with just your W2 and phone calculator.

Since it's so simple, it's pretty uncommon for your with to withhold the wrong amount as well, so you probably won't owe/get back anything.

Parking on the sidewalk happens everywhere in the city. It's crazy.

There's even a downtown surface lot that uses the sidewalk on Penn when their lot is full, with no enforcement from the city stopping them.
