Do you ever read the WSJ? It's so much better than this caricature that I have to think you don't. It runs some of the best stuff about life in the USA of any publication. I wish the left press were 1/10th that good.
And, for the 14th time, I don't give a fuck about small business. I care about running bulldozers over people's houses and neighborhoods to enrich developers. I've spent a fair amount of time following how urban planning works in NYC, and it has nothing to do with the fantasies of high-minded liberals.
