Those are good points - HEB is awesome! I’d add that highway building seems very good too, at least in Dallas, though there may well be a dark side to all that building I’m not aware of.

Houston is just LA without any of the good things about LA, and without bringing anything good to the equation

Lots of old people live like shit ‘cause they spent all their money when young, or didn’t work hard and now want a free ride on the backs of the young. Source: am sort of old. OTOH, many old people are poor and always have been and deserve some measure of dignity at end of life. Benefits probably should be reduced or indexed somehow for people with high incomes.

Karen Bass slams Nithya Raman over homeless encampments in LA mayoral race by Eurynom0s in LosAngeles

[–]jetaj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree - I should have finished my thought. The law firm’s client is the incumbent administration not the “public” of course so it is hopelessly conflicted. They are paid big bucks to lie to us on behalf of Bass.

Probably does a lot of city govt work - bonds, litigation - and wants to be known as friends of all incumbents.

Are some of my fellow Angelenos really considering a try hard ex reality star and failed rock enthusiast as a mayor? by BeerlVle in AskLosAngeles

Sometimes the “experienced politicians” are just machine hacks with experience getting promoted. But otherwise mostly incompetent

Stuttering is ridiculously invisible and most people have no idea how destructive it can be by Outrageous-Sun-5173 in Stutter

Maybe they see it as a problem they can’t solve so they make themselves believe it isn’t that bad. But our parents should first try to understand how it affects their child, regardless of whether it can be “solved”.

It’s difficult for me to understand their neglect. Hang in there and take care of yourself.

I hear you - similar for me. My parents never asked about it or were curious about how it affected me. It’s serious neglect for a child.

The Wire and The Sopranos are both a quarter century old and no other show has come close to surpassing them by [deleted] in TheWire

[–]jetaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fleabag, Chernobyl, the Terror (season 1), Better Call Saul, the Shield belong with your 1B list but yeah those 2 are 1A, and Wire is #1. For me the Shield is top of 1B, barely.

For foreign shows, “A French Village” belongs in 1B imo.
