”Someone in the top 10% of the global income distribution makes $122,100 per year.”

https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/DC,US/PST045221

”Per capita income in past 12 months (in 2021 dollars), 2017-2021, Washington DC: $63,793”

I called them right before the Super Bowl because my account got deactivated for inactivity. The lady said the would issue a ticket to someone and that I would just have to wait till it’s reactivated. I still haven’t heard anything lol.

You would have thought they’d want more active users before the game but i guess not.

No need to have anybody corroborate it. I wasn't being facetious when I said she described it like a game of whack-a-mole. That's exactly what she said. It's on video.

This is a bit outside of my knowledgebase, but my understanding is that the AG doesn't operate under the Mayor or the Council, so it doesn't really matter what Nadeau's feelings are on this. The AG can do what they want. The MPD, the Mayor, the Council, they could all be pissed off about the offenders being put right back onto the street and the AG can continue on with their lax sentencing because they don't report to any of them.

Why would the AG do this? I'd gather it has to do with their Restorative Justice program and a long-term plan of rehabilitating the youth in lieu of putting them behind bars.

The water rights situation in the Southwest is all kinds of fucked up. Got there first? Than you can use all the water you want! The agriculture sector out there is unsustainable and needs to be cut back asap. Lake Mead drying up is bad, but the Great Salt Lake becoming rhe Aral Sea 2.0 is horrifying to think about. As much as it sucks that the Mormon Church basically runs Utah, I would think they care enough about Salt Lake City to exert some of their power to save the lake before it turns into a toxic basin.

Thanks for clarifying your personality.

And no, you’re wrong. The data exist. The top earners literally produce the same amount of CO2 emissions as the rest of us combined.

https://www.statista.com/chart/26904/estimated-global-co2-emission-share-by-income-groups/

”The world's richest ten percent are responsible for an estimated 47 percent share of global CO2 emissions.”

This level of discrepancy tracks within the US as well.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/rich-americans-have-higher-carbon-footprints-than-other-wealthy-people/

”In North America, the top 10 percent of people by income produce nearly 73 tons of carbon dioxide per person annually. At the other end of the income spectrum, however, the bottom 50 percent of North Americans emit 10 tons per person annually.”

A special link just because I want to believe you actually are a subscriber to NPR:

https://www.npr.org/2022/11/09/1135446721/billionaires-carbon-dioxide-emissions

”Very rich people emit huge and unsustainable amounts of carbon and have an outsized influence over our economy."

Usually townhouses have issues with vertical signal because the antennas are optimized as a disc. If you have horizontal issues, then moving the router more central may help (if possible). And yes, usually hallways are good for repeaters as they are usually central. I'm not really following your layout though. Do you have plaster and lathe walls or any metal? They are pretty bad for signal penetration.
