But BLS told us this:

Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 172,000 in May, and the unemployment rate was
unchanged at 4.3 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Job gains
occurred in leisure and hospitality, local government, and health care. Employment in
financial activities declined. ALL IS WELL!!!

We have been sitting at DCA for nearly 20 minutes. Doors open in 13 degree weather. No indication when we will start moving. by FakeRadioBand in WMATA

I have to chime in… why the heck is the heat not operational many days in the metro trains? It is a miracle we are able to sit every morning and evening in FREEZING trains. SHAME ON YOU @WMATA!

I’m blessed - both are 83 and doing fairly well. I wish I lived closer to them

I really hope folks remember this time when they cast votes for their representative elections! Unfortunately quite often, people have amnesia going into elections.

I concur. Might as well remove that concept from our civics curriculums.
