All these Forest Service and National Park jobs are in rural areas that rely on those salaries and folks with medical insurance to keep the economy going and local hospitals open.
And please don't let the states take over federal lands. Mining and real estate are dying to take over.

Perfect timing to put highrise office towers on the market. Not like there isn't a glut of office space to lease.

These buildings should be a prototype. It fits on a lot, has front and back egress, typically has 4 2 bedroom units and 2 1 bedroom units with a laundry/bike room and mechanical room. Apartments aren't huge but are definitely livable and depending on the depth of the lot have 6 to 8 parking spaces.

My ER nurse daughter had ICE in the ER most of the day. They injured a guy arresting him and then had five guys inside and an additional 5+outside, all heavily armed.
Theater.
She's really shook up, it's unnerving to maneuver around rifles to work.

Freecycle has a web presence, I don't think it has an app but they are essentially the same thing. They need to join forces.
Freecycle has a couple of listings a day in my neighborhood.

I moved my knitting project to be right next to where I planned to sit 3x in the last month, it's a hat that might take two hours to finish. I put it away in Xmas prep.
I am too lazy to use my hands for anything but multiple screen action while watching TV.

At the beginning of Covid, Phoebe Judge of Criminal did a read aloud of Jane Eyre that was very good.

Without Conyers-Ervin diluting the non Davis vote Kina Collins may have prevailed. Danny Davis votes the way his constituents prefer but it's such a safe seat, maybe get someone young in there. And if he retires midterm it will be up to the Cook County Dems.

Didn't know it was a chain. I only knew it as a place that didn't check IDs so teenage me was a regular and make no judgment of anything else due to a clouding of faculties.
