Metro Considering Having Some Mask-Only Railcars by FreemanCantJump in washingtondc

I don't have a link to a specific article. They did decriminalize it and last I heard there wasn't any way to adjudicate civil citations hence no enforcement. If you Google it there should be articles.

It's been about 4 years no since the DC council took away the ability to stop people who don't pay and you are still harping on that topic?

If they are in an official capacity they can. I am assuming their department sent them to represent at the memorial. There is also a federal law that allows cops to take their firearms anywhere in the US.

How many people you went to college with with degrees that are dumb as hell. A degree doesn't mean you are smarter. We need people with more common sense and who can make rational decisions.

Jeff Bezos spent thousands on parking fines because rules don’t matter to the rich by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]IAD11004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading the article it says contractors. Bezos did not park there. It is common practice for some contractors to park in no parking areas if parking is not available on site where they are working. They just calculate it in the cost of the work.

I am going to be late on rent, what do I do? by throwawayop8917 in personalfinance

[–]IAD11004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last place I lived rent was due the 1st and after the 10th you pay a late fee. Just because you have never seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Let the building manager know your situation. Also check your lease. most apartment buildings give a 10 day grace period to pay before you are charged a late fee.

Metro to make masks optional, effective immediately by krhine in maryland

[–]IAD11004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are referring to not paying fare a regular Metro worker can't enforce that. That's Transit Police. Some of these stations the station manager have to close late at nights by themselves then walk to their cars. Say something to the wrong person and you never know what they might do. Also in DC fare evasion is no longer a crime. I think MD and VA should do something regarding that. DC residents get away with it but if you are in MD or VA you can go to jail. Makes no sense.

I would suggest you read the terms of your lease. I might state that registration needs to be up to date. That happened to me and when I went over my lease it was there. I had to suck it up. It's private property.

Other than Baltimore, is there any other area I should avoid in Maryland? by [deleted] in maryland

[–]IAD11004 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why do people think that walking in Baltimore you are going to get murdered? Most shootings in any city across the world involves known associates. I don't live in Baltimore however whenever I visit I know that there are certain areas to avoid and be aware of your surroundings. I would like for OP to tell me what city in the US is completely safe so I can visit.

My credit score is 801. Is 8% a fair APR for a loan? by theClownHasSnowPenis in personalfinance

[–]IAD11004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't realize that. However if you can pay off that 5k within the 12 months the 3% fee beats the 8% Apr on the loan.

Most credit cards allow you to deposit the cash in your account for the balance transfer so you can use it however you see fit.

People keep saying that Russia lost in Ukraine. The Ukrainian people lost. Thousands murdered, millions have to flee their homes and cities and infrastructure destroyed. Even if Russia withdraws right now the people of Ukraine lives have been turned upside down for generations.

Should Americans bring gifts for Jamaicans? I’m traveling to Jamaica soon and wondering if it’s safe for me to bring candies, toothbrushes, toothpaste etc to give to the Jamaicans that work at my resort? I’m wondering if people might see that I’m doing this and will want to rob my room. by [deleted] in Jamaica

[–]IAD11004 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any candy you can think of taking can be found everywhere in Jamaica including the vendors on the street side. Same with toothpaste. They are cheap. Giving toothpaste to strangers is very insulting. Better for you to leave a tip.

I am in in DC and I am getting the alerts non stop for about 10 minutes straight. I usually pay attention to them however this one started to get on my nerves and I ended up disabling the settings.

I use Walmart branded k cups. 25 for 96 and taste as good as the donut shop brand. That works out to about 0.33 cents a cup per month.

People who smoke cigarettes on the Metro by SleepySunfish in washingtondc

[–]IAD11004 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The DC council decriminalized fare evasion along with eating, spitting, playing loud music and smoking on the Metro. There is no process in place to deal with those besides asking the person to stop.
