That's not an exaggeration in any way. New York and Chicago. There are other cities with some public transit, but anywhere with a) jobs, b) decent schools, and c) reliable public transit will also be prohibitively expensive.
Except it's not merely a cult, it is the entire history of the development of our nation. Our infrastructure is built on the idea that space is plentiful, and everyone has their own car. The very concept of suburban America is predicated on at least one car in every home. Communities were built without walking access or public transit. Commerce was congealed into vast campuses consisting entirely of parking lots and three-story office buildings. School districts consolidated into massive centralized buildings where thousands of students arrive via hundreds of big yellow busses, some traveling for hours each way.
Even if you wanted to break free from the "cult," there's like two cities in the entire USA where you could live, work, and raise a family in a decent school district without a car, and they would be some of the highest cost of living areas in the entire world.
My favorite story from the cast is when Jason Alexander was talking with Larry David about a particularly unlikely scenario, saying he was having trouble relating as a character to something that would never happen to anyone. David said "What are you talking about? This happened to me." It was then that Alexander realized that George is Larry, and he stopped doing George as Woody Allen.
She learned this lesson, but is she actually a better person? Is she rethinking all of her odious stances and actions? I'm ready to applaud someone becoming a better person, even if she still has work to do on herself, but I'm also skeptical of any politician who sees the writing on the wall and makes a strategic course correction.
The trouble with publishing best practices is it's a blueprint for how to break in, like publishing a map to your house with all the locks and cameras labelled. If you establish that 2 factor authentication is required, with SHA256 encryption and passwords at least 16 characters, numbers, upper and lower case, and special characters, changed every six months, then the hackers know what they need. They need to spoof someone's cell phone, they know how long it takes to decrypt sha256, and they know if your password was FuckingBullsh1tsecurity!3 two years ago, it's probably FuckingBullsh1tsecurity!7 today.
Because people want to share documents across various computers. A secure cloud is better than people emailing classified pdfs to authorized distribution lists, or carrying around the document you're working on in a thumb drive.
A trial attorney? I could see it she wanted to be like a corporate attorney or real estate or something, where your character as a person isn't relevant. How is she going to empanel a jury without potential jurors having preexisting feelings about her trustworthiness? "Yeah, she seems sincere, but remember that time on her reality show where she was faking tears for sympathy?"
I don't know her, or how competent she would be at trial, and anyone can be anything they want to be. But also, recognize that choices have consequences. Maybe trading dignity for fame and fortune means you don't get to live any dream you like.
Ok, so the coroner and his brother had a hidden room where they kept decomposing bodies, some as long as 15 years. This was discovered and he resigned his position as coroner. A new coroner was appointed.
That coroner's office also, separately, planned a community event for a Halloween party. The planned Halloween party would have had zero corpses, and the creep who kept the corpses wasn't invited to attend (probably?). Cancelling the event had nothing to do with safety, in spite of what the unnecessary quotes in the headline would suggest.
Everything
I don't know.
It was in a jam
Push it down a hill.
