Pittsburgh-area pharmacist says new prescription drug deal is a "small step"
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday touted the administration's plan to lower prescription drug prices for Americans on Medicare. In a landmark drug price negotiation, the White House said America's senior citizens on Medicare will save about $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket costs in the first year. "I think it's great," said Daniel Goetz, who is on Medicare. "I think they all should be lowered. Most of them should be free for senior citizens because they can't afford them.

Dan’s Daily: Sidney Crosby Speculation; RFA Madness
The Pittsburgh Penguins have sold salary cap space for draft picks but have also acquired a gaggle of players in the process, who, to be kind, are not players they would have targeted if winning now were the goal. Pittsburgh Hockey Now took dead aim at the pretense of remaining competitive with a strong undercurrent of rebuilding that president of hockey operations/GM Kyle Dubas is undertaking. It seems several Hockey Now beat writers extrapolated the consequences of the St. Louis Blues’ RFA offer sheets to their own teams, both on the attack and defense.

It's like seeing a Black and Gold double rainbow. Or the Northern Lights over the West End Bridge. Or a unicorn with a hypocycloid on his haunches. It also makes for a particularly meaty edition of "U mad, bro!" So here it ...

Arts funding in Pittsburgh has remained racially inequitable for nearly two decades
