(It’d make a better game than a book. NPCs begging for clean water. Sidequests to stop the water gougers and to deliver pamphlets about a boil notice while mutated rats roam the streets. You get the idea.

Honestly, I'd play the hell out of that (especially since my brain's very much of the opinion that it'd be Dishonored-flavoured [though that might just be the rats and the dickhead nobles partying while ordinary folk die])
Can't tell you how glad I am to see that someone else gets that one of the problems is with the stories we tell.. that urge to make it all 'one good, one bad' so that people don't lose track of who's who and you can make it exciting.
I love Beartongue so very much, she is my absolute favorite character in your books.
And I agree, the more you know of the details of how the world works the more you can see the importance of bureaucracy and civil servants and all the little work people were doing to keep the world working.
One of the things I was very afraid of was that our medical devices & medications would be less safe, if we could even get them in the first place, and I hate that people in HHS who are being fired are people who oversee safety of durable medical equipment & other healthcare devices.

I am so happy that *at the time* it didn’t cross my mind to worry about the safety of that.
And I am mad that going forward it *could possibly* be an issue because of these asshats.
Short version: Big mining town… but for the Tarrasque’s bits and pieces.
