Is it accredited? I'm 39, lived here my whole life and I've never heard of it. Is it a for-profit school and why are you thinking of attending? I've had many friends go to for-profit trade schools, like Lincoln Tech, who end up doing well for themselves. If it pretends to be a traditional university and you're investing thousands, do some research!!

Why not a Manhattan.

What a pile of semantical excrement.

Nobody is confused by the common usage of “public good,” regardless of the purely academic textbook definition the author cites.

By any commonly understood meaning of the concept, public transit fits as a public good. Particularly when compared to the competing source for public investment and public space usage — roads.

u/borderlineidiot Don't confuse civil assault with criminal assault. The standards are different.

Shame that the first indictment wasn’t for election interference in Georgia…but I will enjoy the symbolism of him getting booked for SOMETHING at long last

Now I have the image of a bunch of people charging into battle pissing everywhere running through my mind. Thanks

Maintaining precision to published station arrival times and displaying the next station’s name on each of the signage columns next to the station benches so that people inside the train can view

Yeah but did you ever lead the charge to have them outside?

Why would the police do anything when the USAO refuses to prosecute 70%~ of the time?

It’s outside of the gates, the one I’m familiar with is by the side with the astronaut picture that goes up a very long elevator (between elevator and gates). Upper level. It’s in the direction of the exit going to the spy museum (mall concourse, 9&d exit)

Im sorry this happened to you. Racist incidents can stick with you and be impactful (negative or positive), and I really hope that it doesnt stick with you for long and impact your self worth. Just remember, and I’m sure you know this, you’re not below anyone. The aggressor/racist was a shit head and unstable. I’m glad you’re safe though because the fact that he followed is scary even if you’re with a friend at a crowded place. I hope he gets caught some day if not soon.

Never heard of it, but per US News, it has 68 undergrads. So I guess that's why.

We all had a meeting and decided we don't like you coming, either.

Slash run

More fundamentally, it shouldn't be necessary. But Mayor Bowser's proposed Fiscal Year 2024 budget chooses not to fund proposed public bathrooms.

I'm actually surprised she managed to not accidentally shoot herself while working at her old gun restaurant, Shooters Grill.

Public good is a widely used economics term that refers to a good such that, once provided, the good is 1) non-rivalrous and 2) non-excludable. By this definition transit is not a public good.

Non-rivalrous basically means “your use doesn’t affect my use.” Crowding out can occur very easily in transit so it’s rivalrous.

Non-excludable basically means no one can prevent you from accessing it. We install payment systems at the entrance so we do exclude people.

Textbook examples of public goods include national defense and clean air. Public transit should be well supported and financed, but they’re right it doesn’t meet the definition.

My husband works for WMATA at HQ and there are folks whose whole job is to review camera footage.

Thanks. Do I have to go inside the gates or do you mean it's open without scanning my current metro card first?

If legislative competence were a requirement for statehood, we'd revoke a lot of statehoods.

The Runaway

She's such an idiot. omg

tbf, never heard of it.

Ok maybe those words passed my ears, but I have no recollection of it.

>I don't mean to sound racist in anyway so please don't take it as such, but why is racism against asians by black people such a common thing?

I'd say it isn't so common as its probably the most acceptable (or even encouraged) type of racism.

See Shaq & Asians vs Kyrie & Jews.

Also large segments of our nation love it when PoCs fuck with each other

A lot posts are obviously from people new to the city who had a scary experience and trying to warn people, ask about resources/reporting, thank helpful bystanders. Reddit probably isn't the best outlet and there are always asshats just bitching in the comments but everything doesn't need to be "here is my 5 point activism plan to solve safety concerns in the greater DC metro area"

That aside, this is also an insanely privileged take. A lot of people can't go to council meetings or volunteer because their health is poor or they're working insane hours just to make ends meet or have extensive caretaking responsibilities. They are still part of our community and still get a voice about how things should be.
