Fetterman was the mayor of Braddock PA, a place I'm rather familiar with, for a long time. Braddock was/is a forgotten borough of Pittsburgh that's long past its glory days. Fetterman came in and wanted to clean up Braddock. How effective he's been has been up to debate, but the man really was a strong voice for Braddock and showed that he really cared. For every violent death that happened in Braddock while he was mayor, he'd get a tattoo of the date on his arm. He also got arrested for protesting the local hospital (UPMC), to get them to bring an urgent care center to Braddock.

Personally I think he's improved Braddock. He helped bring in a few new businesses, and it's helped liven the place up a bit. But it's still a rough neighborhood that needs a lot of work.

It's probably because you're not adding anything to the conversation. But I guess it's easier to throw your hands up and say "Damn everyone else is toxic for tapping a down arrow" than it is to have any sort of self awareness.

Something like this is just not a good idea. Then we have a situation where the corrupt and rich house members can strongarm everyone else with a government shutdown, because they're the ones that won't care about missing paychecks. Who wants that?
