“No.” - Capitalism

I don’t really get the question. Are you looking for a house that you tell the landlord how much money you make and they use that to decide your rent?

I've never had a prob rescheduling. Many of us get summoned every year, they understand.

I cannot smell them at all. I wonder if its a cilantro situation.

I am both allergic to them and reminded of what is missing in my life

Ahh spring

I recently postponed my jury duty (online). I then got mailed a new jury summons with the new date. It’s the same juror number - but it could be because both the old and new dates are on a Thursday.

I appreciate what u/Unusual-Thanks-2959 does.

at this point, the damage is done. that building is already toast. what we need is some ordinances to prevent demolition by neglect.

Delegate Szelega from Baltimore County has been speaking out about the plan since last week. I wrote to the city council rep for my area, the mayor and my state delegate, no one responded. I’m disappointed we have get help from county delegates before the city officials act.

Shut up and take my upvote.

This article in the Sun from a few months back estimates $7.5 billion in private & public money would be needed to renovate all the city's vacants.

From city gov website:

"As of February 15, 2022, there are 14,989 vacant properties and only 1245 of those are owned by the City government. Properties that are privately owned must go through due process before the City can act to demolish those properties or make plans to take ownership and bring them back into productive use."

So, let's assume that to renovate or demo/rebuild those properties costs on average around $100k to $500k each, for an avg of $300k each, you'd be looking at around:

$4,500,000,000

Aka $4.5 billion.

I always recommend the Revival Hotel in mount Vernon for its price, cool factor, and it’s beautiful historic central location. There, or Hotel Indigo. Both of which are in you budget. For your price point you may do better using Airbnb or Vrbo.

You are incorrect sir or madam

Hilton Garden Inn in Harbor East doesn’t have an on site bar, but James Joyce is across the street and would be around $200ish a night (pre-tax) but is definitely in the mix of what you want. Downtown isn’t what you want, you want to stay in Harbor East or Fells Point.

I grew up in Fells/Canton and I thought those were dogwoods! Damn they stink so bad.

I'm allergic to the nasty fuckers. Their treemen has my sinuses miserable.

The worst fucking trees

Tbh, it kind of seems like Norfolk Southern was trying to get this stuff into others' hands as fast as possible, ideally without local communities becoming aware of it.

One article I read says the water is/was slated to come in as early as this Thursday. This is a very real-time situation.

I am glad Scott took this action today, but honestly I would have preferred to see this happen in an even more preemptive way. We all know that Back River is a... wait for it...

Shit show.

Mostly just see some restaurants in the downtown area. Maybe go to that aquarium. I guess 2 hundred a night would be my max

the rawlings conservatory asks for a donation of $5 but it's voluntary! it's super beautiful and druid hill park is also a great place to wander around on a nice day

I spent around an hour calling various elected officials' offices today. It sounds like a lot of people did same. I'm very happy to see this response from the Mayor.

I simply do not trust the local processing plant involved, period. I don't trust that they will make a full, safe and proper evaluation of the "treated" water coming from Clean Harbors.

They need to find a top-notch facility to work with, not one that is already experiencing a bevy of issues when it comes to their day-to-day operations.

It's also extremely concerning to hear about the major contamination of latex chemicals into a Delaware River tributary that happened just north of us, affecting a huge portion of the Philadelphia area and millions of residents. The "buy water, don't buy water, buy water, don't buy water" messaging from local officials is god damn ridiculous.

We need to push back on corporations in a big way in this country. I've made a career of selling and doing business, with essentially every type of organization across the spectrum of affiliations, politics, interest groups, brands, etc.

I have no inherent problems with capitalism and a market economy, coupled with using the proceeds of that efficient system to make investments in society (for the sake of the citizenry) and broad-based social welfare programs. What we live in today is not even close to a properly-functioning version of that. It's much closer to oligarchical corporate fascism.

Please engage with your officials. It's so easy to call their offices and take 2 minutes to speak to an aid, or leave a quick voicemail. It really does work, if enough people do it. We really do run things – corruption and malfeasance thrive when we are convinced that this isn't the case. But we really do have the numbers.
