DC’s cleaning crews cover around 81 miles/day for around $150K/day. National Guard has cleaned a total of 3.2 miles and costs more than $1M/day. It’s about 170X more cost efficient per mile to fund DC’s existing work.
National Guard issues update on its deployment in Washington DC Including… : “Guardsmen have cleaned more than 3.2 miles of roadways, collected more than 500 bags of trash, and disposed of three truckloads of plant waste”

@mattyglesias I think your conversation about education/apprenticeships would be informed by those of us with jobs that have no foothold in the universities...I have a biochem degree but was trained in sales...wound up in rev ops. Neither job is actuality trained in MBA programs.

For my skill set an MBA would have actually moved me away from my core competency even though many jobs exist for me in exactly what I'm good at and the role itself is very new and has tons of room for innovation.

Tldr: how the fuck do we get sales people?

Still can’t get over the fact that tonight Washington DC is on lockdown to protect Washington DC from The President of the United States.

@PoPville Never seen traffic like this on 5th NE between F and H. Completely backed up on a street that usually gets very low traffic.

@SamHarrisOrg Sam can't deal with anything. Ask him how you should vote. My guess is he'll tell you to go 3rd party. That's because he wants to be relevant.

There are better atheists..
@SamHarrisOrg anyone who works at this"non-profit" who will actually read this should do something better with their life. I'm an atheist and I can move past Sam. So can you. He wants book deals... Not real change. #humanism

You're worried about his racism and his bad faith arguments. I am too. You're worried about religious arguments winning. I am too. The original atheists were helpful but staying with them is basically a new religion.

They were right to get you to question things... Now question them
My favorite thing about the @ezraklein podcast: he pulls people in by showing his side's weakness intentionally. If you listen closely they can't really handle it. This is the opposite of the "IDW" concept. it lays bare what is happening. #IDW = totally vapid. Just nerdy bullies.

Hey if there's a Liberal version of the heritage foundation i will 100% go to law school and I would clearly consider everything on the merits ;) ;) I have a solid foundation of knowledge and I promise to be impartial. Easy Peasy.

@roddreher just listened to your talk with Ezra and I'm struck by how much he tried to understand you while you kept characterizing the other side so poorly. The difference in empathy seems huge considering how much your side has dominated for so long. Do you have no sense of it?

As an atheist (not a "new atheist") we have a long tradition too... It's just been trampled on. If you get to use history and tradition, why don't we? I have feelings and convictions too. I just don't have a scripture to point to. Thanks, honest and sincerely.
New Yorkers: this is the proper way to fold a slice because it will flop down otherwise. Chicagoans: don't be embarrassed to use a spoon Mediterraneans: It's *supposed* to be flat bread with a tiny bit of cheese Detroit: Ya know what, what if we just make it taste good?

Her name is Elsie. She is totally blind. She has never been to school, never learned English. She lives in a small fishing village in the Philippines. Listen to her sing I will always love you by Whitney Houston. AMAZING Retweet ❤️
