Mine was $500 but I renewed for two years and paid for two years of RPP. Maybe your total included that, too?

I spend about $100 a week at Trader Joe’s but it’s pretty much the same unaspiring shopping list every week of yogurt, 4-5 vegetables to roast, a bag of fruit, and two proteins to meal prep. I am in no way a chef.
On occasion though I go to Harris Teeter for more pantry items like the frozen veggies, canned soups, etc.

The people who are repeat offenders are the ones incapable of learning from their mistakes. I’m no Republican but man my tune has changed. I say lock em up and even as I say it I know it isn’t the right solution. But while they are locked up they can’t harm the innocent.

So they’re voting for themselves and not on behalf of their constituents? I guess that makes sense but I don’t think it’s how democracy is supposed to work…

Maybe hit up Harris teeter, they should be able to find the customer based on the card ID. Not that they'd necessarily share that with you, but it's a start.

It's not that guns are deadlier or more accurate. It's that there are more guns, period. Maybe a few years ago the dude who just killed his two roommates wouldn't have had a gun and would have assaulted them, but he had a ghost gun, apparently, so it became a homicide.

Unless she wants to admit to "attacking" the president and survivors of school shootings, she undoubtedly was actually just yelled at.

Can you point to DC engaging in this type of incarceration in the last 5 years?

Oh fuck that. DC has what? 3 or 4 VI programs with millions in funding and guess what? They shoot each other So yes to other approaches BUT DONE THE RIGHT WAY. Not money pits for buddies. Actual pay for performance efforts with clear data feedback and willingness to chop it down if it sucks (like currently) You need carrots but you need stick too

Did you miss one of them being attacked in her apt by a repeat offender?

That bill is so bad for DC statehood. Makes us seem unable to self govern. Like crimes going up, let’s make it even worse by making sentences less.

Makes sense that senators and congressman would care - they live her part of the time. See that congresswoman who was attacked in an elevator by someone who had assaulted like 8 other people but kept being released.

I think Georgetown and M st/Wisconsin Avenue are worth the visit, plenty of nice cafes and restaurants, some like Blue bottle have a nice view by the canals.

You're still assuming that homicides are replacing assaults.
That's one possible explanation, but there isn't nearly enough information in the chart above to conclude that. An alternative explanation could just be that Covid made people stay inside, and that assaults happen more to strangers on the street while homicide happens more often between people who know each other and who spend lots of time together indoors.
Spending more time indoors could explain those trends just as easily as increased gun ownership. There isn't enough info in the chart above to tell which of those factors is having an impact.
