If I wanted to watch someone drive dangerously around downtown 150 times I’d ask a Maryland driver to find a parking spot.

Vote No campaign can probably do better than “Voters aren’t smart enough to read plain English” but that’s what they’re going with. 🤷♂️
It’s honest to god fraudulent to pair this ballot language with the reality of this exceptionally partisan map. How can people be expected to understand what they’re voting on? “Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new

Believe it or not, @CubeSmart is the winner of the self-storage customer satisfaction award and their automated phone support platform will tell you all about it while the retail location is closed during posted hours and their AI chatbot is stuck in a recursive failure loop.

Counterpoint: if you can’t figure out a roundabout you shouldn’t be given a license. This isn’t hard.
traffic circles suck and one of the reasons i don't trust a lot of policy wonks in this area is because they advocate this drivers do not understand them which means tons of accidents and near misses. Go back to signals and stop signs.

Societies can function in two different ways: 1) Strong sociocultural norms push everyone to do what they need to do (and help their neighbors who can't). Think of clearing snow from sidewalks in Japan or Sweden. 2) Government forces compliance through fines and policing.
Due to the heavy ice, DC @MayorBowser has suspended enforcement of sidewalk snow removal requirement for residents and businesses. Those fines that were issued since Sunday will be waived. @nbcwashington

With crime down in DC, @cvspharmacy found a clever little way to redeploy their loss-prevention displays in an anti-competitiveness scheme. Competing products from @OralB, @Colgate and others are locked up. Cc: @FTC @DCAttorneyGen

Please. Over the past 50 years, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% according to that “bastion of socialism” the Rand Corporation. The top beneficiary today happens to be a South African immigrant, the wealthiest man alive, Elon Musk.
For decades, the structure of US society, by intent and design, was remade to redistribute wealth, resources, property and opportunity from Americans to non-Americans. These looted assets were then used to finance the Democrat Party and all its subsidiary schemes and structures.
