I got surveyed by PPP today.

I got surveyed by PPP today.

What are some of the things they asked you?

Approval of various politicians, the General Assembly, 2014 Senate and 2016 gubernatorial, Syria.

They're still building things in places like Milwaukee?  Remarkable!

Within the next 4 years we're likely to see the 2nd and 3rd tallest buildings in the city (and state).

Construction of the Couture http://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/blog/real_estate/2013/09/couture-takes-major-step-forward-as.html?ana=e_mil_bn is likely to begin soon as well. Also a major freeway construction to free up more land for development. Lots of construction in Milwaukee (or at least the East Side/Third Ward areas).

Interesting.  I haven't been back to the Bad Place in years, and from what I hear from my pessimistic chums back home, St Louis is thoroughly moribund, so I rather assumed that nothing but decay was happening in the fly-over country outside of, perhaps, Minneapolis/ND.

I believe Chicago, Madison, and Ann Arbor are doing ok as well.

Overwhelming surge of self-hatred in me right now. Can't go to sleep until I've dealt with it. Convinced I'm worthless, stupid, an incompetent and fraudulent student of my major, deserve to die, et cetera.

Nathan- you are none of those things- in fact, you manifest the opposite qualities.
