What are you passionate about? What's your stance? Make a sign... stand somewhere and shout about it... protest mission completed.
...come to the realization (or dont) that nothing you did mattered and affected no future outcome of anything... do it again

If you don't have a budget, just get a van from the Uhaul on K St. You don't want the cheapest movers that are uninsured moving all your stuff. Otherwise, go with Bookstore movers. We used them to move house about a mile from one end of Capitol Hill to the other. They were great, but a bit more expensive.

You "don't care what it's about"? Sometimes there are like...white supremacists "protesting", you really want to join something like that? Think about an issue you actually care about, look up groups that advocate for that, and follow their social media. A lot of times they post about protests there.

Lol you don’t care what’s it about - that’s odd. A protest is about something - you really don’t care if you are protesting abortions or protesting restrictions on abortions? Seems like you lack understanding of the point of a protest.

Reply to comment by steveaustin69 in Gambet DC by Homework-Silly

It wasn't even like you had to do the research yourself and compare odds. WaPo and other places were reporting on the comparatively terrible odds and Gambet rightfully earned a terrible reputation with even novice bettors before they needed to shop around.

Very lucky to live near Capital One (where I can use the Caesars app) and work near Nats Park (where I can use BetMGM). Honestly works out well where I can easily bet when I want to but I actually need to leave my house so I'm not betting on every little thing.

"Somehow a systemic and racial justice issue". That you think it's not speaks volumes. Children can face consequences but still go back to environments that are lead-contaminated, filled with pests, no access to after-school programming, adequate nutrition, or even the special education services kids may desperately need (a rampant problem in DC). We can amp up the consequences but until social safety nets are strengthened, especially for underserved communities, repeat offenses will continue to be a predictable outcome.
