Begs for the question to be asked.
Not the same as the older “begs the question” which means a purported reasoned argument that uses the presumed answer as a premise, too.
Maybe this city was almost as bohemian as the warehouse.
Arrangements like this would have been common in the early 20th century, and fire codes forbidding it came later. That’s one part of history we would not want to revisit. Why do lefties, who would want to nanny everything else, not want a joint like this to at least have working fire protection even if nothing else was legal. Better for the art and artist to burn than to get soaked?
Who would pay?
Regardless how it is phrased the MSM in California so far has shown no inclination to ask these questions. Suspect the owner was making some large contributions to prominent Democrats.
Thank you. I was starting to think I might be the only remaining person in the world who knows the correct definition of “beg the question”.
While the above statement is at least a mild exaggeration, I see the term used incorrectly by “journalists” about 10 times as often as I see it used correctly.
