Interesting. Where I live, the bins are public, owned and provided by the city. How does one acquire a "private" trash can in DC? IS this an HOA or apartment thing?

Nope. Go ahead and fire away. But talk to your landlord first to be sure it's operational. I have my rental unit chimney cleaned every August.

I agree with you. 100%. But how do you feel about people putting their dog's crap (bagged, of course) in other people's trash cans?

It's in Spring Valley -- 4825 Glenbrook Road. The Army Corps of Engineers recently finished the cleanup. The lot that literally stood on top of the chemical weapons pit aka the "pit of hades" just sold for over $1.5 million. Absolutely crazy. The redfin listing still shows it with the protective fencing from the remediation.

Ouch. Sick burn.

How about you actually learn the definitions of the words that you use? Or maybe focus on formulating cogent arguments?

I'm happy to buy you a dictionary and send it to you, but I think you'd do well to read the wikipedia article another redditor posted on this thread.

Got it. DC / PR / Guam / CNMI are also not states so makes sense they wouldn't have access.

This all sounds like much ado about nothing. Save the ammo for a real fight.

Remember the days when Newt Gingrich wanted to make DC an empowerment zone with no taxes? Yeah, those were the days.

You sound like you've followed this for a while ... did the Mayor have unfettered access to the House floor under prior Speakers? If so, how many?

In comparison to the Democrats, absolutely. Until recently, most Dem leaders were octogenarians. Hakeem Jeffries is a much, much needed breath of youth and fresh air in the party.

You're giving them waaaaaaaaayyyyyy too much credit here. Kinda like Hillary Clinton and the "vast right wing conspiracy" stuff. Seriously, I doubt they spent more than 10 seconds thinking about this and it's likely a basic procedural issue.

You didn't answer the question, u/Special-Literature16. Please explain how the rule preventing the Mayor of DC coming to the floor of the House of Representatives is fascism.

To quote my dear friend, Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

I'll wait for a more serious answer than, "go read Hitler's manifesto."

Lol. How much time do you think they wasted on this? Do you seriously think they deliberated for days?

Out of curiosity, how long did the Mayor have this privilege? Did prior speakers change this rule as well? Has the Mayor actually exercised it?

This thread reminds me of when the Washington Post published an alarmist article about the Trump administration deleting information from government websites when it was actually standard operating procedure for presidential transitions.

Lots of folks on this thread alleging specific motivations to politicians without any supporting evidence.

Since you're an expert on the topic, u/Special-Literature16, please educate me on what part of this rule is fascist. Honest question. I really want to learn.

$200. Not related to usage, just a larger piece of land with more impermeable surfaces. My ERUs are what keeps it high. Family of 4.
