Reply to Where to find most 12" vinyl by Smack2k

Jerry’s is both a quantity over quality establishment, and doesn’t have music newer than 1980, so don’t go there for hip hop. I admit I don’t really listen to hip hop but Attic Records in Millvale has more than other places by my recollection, and is by far my favorite record store in the area.

One thing Oz keeps talking about is how John Fetterman was "bankrolled by his parents and given an allowance to live off of", implying he's some spoiled child. While it's true, John's parents help/ed him financially, what Oz doesn't like to point out is that the annual salary of being Mayor of Braddock is... $1800. John Fetterman probably comes from a wealthier family than you, but the amount he has gotten from his parents probably doesn't even equal out to one of Oz's 9 mansions across the world. How Oz can try not to be the "wealthy candidate" in this race is utterly hilarious to me.

Overall, to me, it barely matters anymore who the individual person is for Senate. The Congress is so hyper partisan that almost all Senators vote their party lines more than 95% of the time, and ones who don't like Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona (a very special case) are shunned by their party and unlikely to be reelected. My point is this isn't a governor's race, a senator these days is just a rubber stamp in Congress and exists to decide the majority party and therefore the majority leader. At the end of the day, all that ends up mattering is what party you want making decisions for you, and what party you want confirming Supreme Court Justices (maybe the most important consequence of retaining the senate right now).

He has dates tattooed on his arm of people who have died of gun violence while he was mayor. Additionally, the jogger himself has since endorsed Fetterman. It is certainly not an incident that anyone looks back on fondly but I don't believe there to have been malice and I don't believe it's otherwise representative of him.

As far as Oz, he is the definitive TV snakeoil salesman, there's no reason to believe he's doing this for anyone but himself or that anything he says isn't subject to immediate change. He will toe the Republican party line unwaveringly in the Senate and does not care about the people in this state in which he doesn't reside.
