They're predicting an excess in PM2.5 (fine particulates), and in our area, that's almost always grouped with extra hydrogen sulfides, as they're both coming from the dilapidated coke works.

Your heart and lungs are pretty closely connected, hence the heart disease issues. If you're already having problems this will make them worse.

What percentage of Allegheny county's economy do you think is steel?

How many sick children are you willing to have support it?

"unhealthy for a all groups" AGI is over 160 as of this morning.

Yeah, great mitigation plans US Steel. Really helping your community.

Electric arc furnaces at least can be fully turned off during idle periods, and during inversions. The current furnaces have to hot idle.

Capitalism also isn't supposed to include us subsidizing producers with children's lives.

>The reality is that these 3 Mon Valley plants are US Steel’s cheapest cost per ton producer of steel in the company’s portfolio

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.

We've shut down our coal powerplant even. Hell, Pittsburgh gets the majority of it's power today from the Beaver nuclear plant.

Yeah, my suggestion is for us steel to move into the 21 century and use electric arc mills, or shut down.

We pay more in excess healthcare than USS provides to the community. We could save money as a community paying all the steel workers to retire.

Very successful plan given how the air is still painful to breathe during these events.

The weather implies that the pollutants will stay close to the ground, and the polluting companies won't do anything about it.

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.

Except that they still frequently get fined for violating it.

It's all unencrypted, there's consumer-grade radio scanners that can pick up the frequencies.

We have a strong history here.

Is there an alley they might be using over the front door? Maybe some people should be on that side too

"learn to code!"

Is it?

By taking away their insurance their boss is saying "I don't care if you live or die"

By bringing pots and pans to his reception the employees are saying "I don't care if you have a good evening"

I personally don't think they're going far enough.

You have to be a pretty big asshole to cut someone's health insurance too.

Cutting the health insurance of your printers is pretty lame too.

Some of this whiskey is old enough to buy it's own whiskey.

What materially stops a vote from being validated if it doesn't have a have written date on it?

They're already banned from even accepting votes that arrive after election day.

I'm a big fan of the deutschtown sign

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.

Well it's bad elsewhere, so it should be bad here too.
