Reply to comment by NorseTikiBar in After violent weekend, D.C. homicides up 40 percent over last year by tehruben
That’s valid. This time last year a lot of people were staying at home due to omicron.
More people out and about now. Plus the rise in juvenile crime and the fact that many students in cities have been testing far below their grade level would lead me to speculate having remote learning in cities weren’t great for teenagers in cities and we’re seeing the impacts of it now.
But I’m just a dumbass on Reddit so what do I know

I’m guessing the person is suggesting that there will be riots and looting again.
Protests have been peaceful so far.

It’s always nice when complete dipshits like to pretend they understand monetary and fiscal policy.
Hyperinflation, lol fucking dipshit. Stick to what you know….which appears to be trading avatars.

Yes. One is backed by the full faith and credit by the United States government, the other is not.

I’m in San Diego and of course it’s nicer back home than it is here.

Reply to I'm legit scared of people in cars these days. Why does it feel like society is breaking down? by MintyLacroix
Last year I was walking my dog and was crossing the four way stop at M St and 5th St NW.
A truck with MD plates stopped and we started crossing. As I approached the truck decided that I did not have right of way and almost ran over my dog.
It was so egregious the man behind him pulled up and rolled down his window to tell me how fucked up that was.
People are just self absorbed plus know basically nothing will happen to them in DC so it’s a free for all out there.
Nothing freaked me out more than crossing any street alongside NY Ave. Drivers making a left will focus solely on oncoming traffic and will try to gun it to make it across a left turn yield intersection without looking for pedestrians before committing.
It got so bad that if I saw a car trying to make a left, I’d just wait until they made it.
For those driving, drive with your eyes, your hands will follow. Another way of saying always look before you turn. Something a race car instructor told me years ago and heavily emphasized, applies for on the street as well.

Reply to Officially moving to DC! by puregoldenhoney
Fun fact, at Work and Class in Denver, one of the cash registers behind the bar has a 9:30 Club sticker on it. I asked why it’s there but no one knew why or what it was.
Welcome to DC btw. Hope you enjoy it.
Also when it snows here, it all doesn’t melt the next day. If we get a big snow storm, it’s not uncommon to have mounds of snow left by snow plows stick around until late spring/early summer.
Also all hell breaks loose here whenever it snows a measurable amount so plan accordingly.
Skiing out East also doesn’t hold a candle to skiing out in CO and points west.

They could also just do what they’re supposed to do.
See if a tag is expired and pull them over if they are but MPD doesn’t do that.

>DUI checkpoints at all major intersections this Holiday season
Remind me to not drive around town from Nov - Dec

Remind me to not drive around town whenever I buy a new car.

Reply to comment by FriendlyDespot in BMW will build a $1.7 billion EV battery factory in South Carolina by Sorin61
Well that and I'm guessing BMW wants buyers to qualify for the federal EV tax credit since cars must use batteries produced in the US in order to qualify for the federal tax credit.
Tons of other auto manufacturers are doing the exact same thing, the change in the tax code is working as intended.

Reply to I know it shouldn't be, but it's always weird seeing DC on a random, unrelated sub. by snow-days
If you’re that hell bent on driving to the mall to see the cherry blossoms hit up Ohio Ave nearby, Maine Ave/Independence Ave are nightmares.
