yeah, so this isn't true. at all.

the big donors (billionaires, Wall Street, AIPAC, US multi-nationals) own both parties.

The nutjob left infiltrates Dems only up to a certain extent. Trump wing infiltrates the Repubs only up to a certain extent. The Republicans have tried everything possible to not have Trump win the primary and be the nominee of the party. It hasn't worked. Obviously. Why? Because a lot of the stuff Trump says lands with the voters- and pretty much everyone else running against him was a flaccid penis.

There is a lot more to a political party than a President or Presidential primary nominee.
Duh.

But look at your examples:
the nutjob left has done nothing and has no power
the nutjob right is Trump and has all their power

The Republicans fighting against Trump (all 7 of them) have failed (again).  So they're irrelevant.

First off, OAM calling 847 lost is gold. Thanks for the morning chuckle.

Secondly, I do not and will never condone the actions taken that day.

Lastly, the fact that you chose to not comment on my part 2 tells me you condone it.

Buddy's is great.  It's funny, I never heard of it called "Detroit style" when I lived in Michigan.  I bet at least 4 Detroit style places have popped up around Pittsburgh in the past few years.

Oh yeah, back in 2011 a couple of brothers from Detroit opened a Detroit-style pizza place in Austin, named Via313.  It was just a food trailer on 6th Street, but since then they've grown and opened multiple other locations in town.  It's great, one of my favorite places in Austin now.

Well you know, in China they don't call it "Chinese food" it's just "food." So there ya have it. :)

I don't know about any truly local places that you might have access to, but Jet's pizza is a national fast-food-pizza chain that makes a decent version of it.

Pizza Hut or Domino's tried to make a version but theirs was... not good.

I can get a great burger at a lot of bars around here for $15 or less. Big Mac combo here is around $13. I can see why their sales are not up to snuff.

Ha, I thought of that as soon as I wrote it.

Per Wikipedia, which whatever, it is a recent thing, and was for a while referred to as Sicilian style

Detroit-style pizza was developed in 1946 at Buddy's Rendezvous, a former speakeasy owned by Gus and Anna Guerra located at the corner of Six Mile Road and Conant Street in Detroit. Sources disagree whether the original Sicilian-style recipe was based on Anna Guerra's mother's recipe for sfincione or a recipe from one of the restaurant's employees, a Sicilian woman named Connie Piccinato. The recipe created a "focaccia-like crust" and the restaurant baked it in blue steel pans available from local automotive suppliers because baking pans available at the time were not appropriate for the dish. The steel pans were made by Dover Parkersburg in the 1930s and 1940s and were originally used as drip trays or to hold small parts or scrap metal in automobile factories. Some 50- to 75-year-old pans are still in use.

The restaurant was later renamed Buddy's Pizza. In 1953, the Guerras sold it and opened the Cloverleaf in Eastpointe, Michigan. Former Buddy's employee Louis Tourtois made pizzas at Shield's before founding Loui's Pizza in Hazel Park, Michigan. The Detroit News called Tourtois the "king of pizzas" in 1978. National chain Jet's, local chain Shield's, and Luigi's the Original of Harrison Township are other locally-notable restaurants serving the style.

Buddy's Pizza chief brand officer Wesley Pikula, who started at Buddy's as a busboy in the 1980s, said that he had never heard the term "Detroit-style" before the 1980s when a trade magazine used it and that even afterward it was seldom used except in national trade articles. As late as 2007, some local media were referring to the style as "Sicilian-style". Some makers of Detroit-style pizza in other areas questioned whether to call their pizza by that name, as "sometimes people have negative thoughts about Detroit."

The Detroit-style pizza was popular throughout the Detroit area but until the 2010s was not often found at restaurants outside the area. In 2011 two Detroit brothers opened a Detroit-style pizza restaurant in Austin, Texas, using the "Detroit-style" name as a point of differentiation. In 2012, a New York restaurateur created a pizza he called "Detroit-style", though he had never visited Detroit, using focaccia dough, mozzarella, and ricotta

In 2012, local restaurant cook Shawn Randazzo won the Las Vegas International Pizza Expo world championship with a Detroit-style pizza, and according to pizza educator Tony Gemignani, the reaction was immediate. "After he won, I must have had six phone calls from operators, from guys who are big in the industry, saying, 'Give me a recipe for Detroit. How do I figure this out?'"

According to Serious Eats, "in early 2016 or so, everyone seemed to be talking about it or writing about it or opening up restaurants devoted to it. Trade journal Pizza Today wrote in 2018 that "Perhaps no pizza style has entered the public consciousness in quite the way that Detroit-style pan pizza has."[16] Trade journal Restaurant Hospitality said the style had become popular on Instagram.

In 2019, Esquire called the style "one of the hottest food trends across America", and both the Detroit Free Press and Eater said Detroit-style pizza was "having its moment". Eater wrote that pizzerias offering the style were spreading across the US, but that the new pizzas were different:

On one side are the local Detroit pizzerias and restaurants devoted to their normcore, family-restaurant roots with toppings directly on the crust, a layer of processed brick cheese, and sauce on top. Then there are the "artisanal" square pizzas, with their aged doughs, organic toppings, unprocessed cheeses, and "frico" crust. These designer square slices are sometimes baked in a wood-fired oven and often served on Instagrammable metal trays in perfect lighting—a departure from the checkered tablecloths, no-frills boat drinks, and generous displays of bocce ball plaques at Buddy's. And in this new era of Detroit-style pizza, it's this photogenic version that many Americans are discovering first.

Eater said the artisanal trend was slow to catch on in Detroit. Along with the Coney Island hot dog and the Boston cooler, the traditional Detroit-style is one of Detroit's iconic local foods.

According to a 2021 forecast report, Yelp.com noted that Detroit-style pizza was national and reported that reviews mentioning "Detroit-style pizza" were up 52%. In 2023, Detroit-based author Karen Dybis published Detroit-Style Pizza: A Doughtown History covering three waves of Detroit-style pizza, ranging from the original innovators up through current pizzerias around the count

Coming soon. Will go from $16/hr (I believe) to $20/hr starting Apr 1. 

It'll be really good for the workers who survive after 50% of all fast food restaurants fail over the next 2-3 years because people can't afford to eat there.
