Downtown Pittsburgh is a liberal utopia. It is almost entirely composed of lawyers, government and non profits. They have chased out almost all manufacturing and most all of the corporate headquarters that deemed it the “Golden Triangle” have left. We have lost 50% of our population in the past 40 years. It’s a taxpayer funded failure, what’s not to like for a Marxist.

I used to commute through "Dahntahn" Pittsburgh on my way to clients. Not meaning any disrespect, but I learned all I needed to know about the occupational distribution by the amount of traffic inbound on the MLK holiday.

Meanwhile, out in the 'burbs and industrial parks, WORK continued as normal.
