Worked right near the convention center for a few years and it was never too out of hand. Really no more traffic than your average convention at the DLL. Just a lot of really unique foot traffic in the area haha

That's based on the assumption that the money saved on taxes is going to reducing treatment cost, rather than paying out bonuses to executives and building fancy new facilities that don't meet the needs of the people working in them.
I've seen a couple studies over the years that suggest NFP hospitals have costs mostly in-line with those of for profits, but they are losses of absolutely massive tax sources for their cities, leaving local services devoid of huge opportunities they could have otherwise.
And that's not even regarding hospitals that are also the biggest name in insurance in their local areas as well.

Right around your age and I definitely grew up with the phrase and still hear people use it fairly often, but I suspect things may be different for gen Z.

When their opinion is "quickly murder our incarcerated" I think it's okay to treat them as at least somewhat unreasonable.

From all the tattoos he had on his finger, yeah.
Sorry, it was foolish of me to assume you were doing anything but trolling.

He has scarring on his wrist and finger too. Is that indicative of his prosthetic hand?

That is 100% my experience as well. Worked restaurant/bar jobs down there and the anthrocon crowd was consistently among the very best tipping and most polite of any guests we would have throughout the year. They are also just a lot of fun out on the street and very approachable.
