I'm in Truth or Consequences and went to look at the old movie theater last night. Can't believe I'm missing the local documentary about the making of Eddington by mere days!

I'd put tolling the Schyulkill and congestion pricing into the mix. Add in some progressive wealth / vacant property options.
Honest question: if you are repealing BIRT and wage tax, where are you going to collect all that lost revenue? (Please don't say 🪄 The Market 🪄 I've had a rough day)

The cigar store at 10th and Tasker is having a block party that consists of 20 tables of guys playing dominoes and smoking cigars. I recommend avoiding it unless you have a mask or can hold your breath for a block

I just started reading John Sayles's great Yellow Earth. It's about an oil rush in North Dakota and I'm spooked by the strip club details he nailed, including the Whispers carpet design haymarketbooks.org/books/138…
