the balloons are just a distraction from the train chemical spill. There's a pretty obvious news blackout on the chemical burn because it undercuts Biden's anti-union stance which almost directly led to this exact situation.

lmao, people always say this, but imagine coordinating that many people's finances and getting all of them to prioritize putting all that money in escrow for half a year while they wait on the others. Then you have to assume no major life altering events happen in the space of time where you're waiting on everyone to put in that would cause someone to flake out.

Getting 8 people to agree on a brunch location is already nearly impossible, imagine getting twice that many to buy a house with their life savings

Best advice in DC if you're getting an uber near a busy/surge area.

It's a walkable city so just walk like a half mile away and call your uber there instead. Often will save you $10 and quite a few minutes.
