Fun fact: Robert Moses, the man who almost single-handedly fucked New York City beyond repair by building bridges and parkways while actively working against public transportation options like trains, buses and subways beginning in the 1930s, never learned to drive himself.

Robert Moses really deserves to be the patron demon of this sub.

Most recent 99pi episode or power broker?

The Power Broker. I've never heard of 99pi - for that matter, I'd never heard of Robert Moses before stumbling on the book.

Didn't really affect most people though. Wait until you hear about Thomas Midgely!
