But those white working class populations were often ethnic enclaves. Look at Boston or Chicago. One of the largest mass lynchings was perpetrated against Italians in New Orleans. The Crescent City has a long history of various white ethnic groups migrating to the city - Greeks, Italians, Irish, Slavs (mostly Croats). I’m not that aware of DC’s early industrial history, but I’m not aware of the city having those kinds of ethnic population centers.

As long as you’re not performing any surgeries in the afternoon, I’d say a lot of steak and drunk are what you should get for lunch. Probably take the afternoon off from your job to be safe.

Where? Foggy Bottom? Petworth? What was considered a white working class neighborhood in Old DC?

Has there ever been a white working class neighborhood in DC? Serious question. Maybe late 19th century? Georgetown and its shipyards and mills were a separate city until 1871. Even then it was in a state of decline, at least from a commercial perspective. DC didn’t crack 100K in population until the 1860s.

DC grew rapidly in the first half of the 20th century, but what was the breakdown between blue and white collar population growth? I’d suspect if was more the latter than the former.

I’ve seen sex workers on 12th, 14th and on K Street within the last decade.

Ramen is what I’m going to say at the end the next time I have to join a prayer. Thanks for that laugh.

I predict we’ll have AI’s of famous jurists duking it out on SCOTUS by the 2060. We’ll have Scalia and RBG going at it again, with Berger and Powell trying to build a consensus.

I’m not sure whether your comment about being unnecessarily rude was directed at me or at vegdeg, but I think it’s high time we put Friedman’s thoughts on shareholder value in the same grave he inhabits. It’s an incredibly short-sighted and unsustainable ideal, and as an economic theory it’s been shown to be increasingly unworkable. The pendulum between regulation and deregulation has swung back and forth throughout American history, but never has corporate America been better positioned to halt the swing of the pendulum back into a more restrictive position. The American public is by and large unable to do anything to stop the incessant extraction of value from them by corporations and the financial markets.

Except it’s not something that we’ve collectively agreed upon. We sat and watched as Congress deregulated the financial industry and markets, and then sat on the sidelines as the public at large was further abstracted from the levers of power. Now we shrug our shoulders, throw up our hands, and exclaim exasperatedly as all manners of corporate fuckery go unmonitored and unpunished.

Delete your account. Go herd sheep in New Zealand or something. There’s nothing superfluous in what I wrote. I’m sorry that you can’t grasp that.

> What part of companies exist to make shareholders > money do you not understand.

We understand it, but I don’t think you do. It’s not an issue that companies exist to make shareholders money. It’s that they only exist to maximize shareholder value, emphasizing short-term profits over everything else…corporate citizenship, sustainability, and long-term growth. This is the dystopian Friedman-esque future financial deregulators wanted.

We substitute Wall Street as a stand-in for the broader public, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Wall Street is no more representative of the population at large than Friends was of 20/30-somethings in NYC. Wall Street is a collection of very wealthy individuals and institutions that exist solely to facilitate the mass transfer of wealth upward. It’s not Fred and Barbara in the suburbs who are constantly pushing to extract every dollar in value possible. It might be the financial institution that holds Fred and Barbara’s retirement funds, but they’d push Fred and Barbara out the door in a second if it meant an infinitesimal amount of increased value at that moment for this mutual and exchange-traded funds.

That’s a bummer. I remember when their Silver Spring location closed after like 70 years. There’s still a location in Germantown, but I think it’s under different ownership.

With Number One Sons closing, your best bet is to head out to Silver Spring or Rockville and get some pickles at Parkway Deli, Woodside, or Attman's (or one of the other delis in the area.

Sorry, not buying it. I'm guessing you're on the payroll of Faux News, the Faily Wire, or one of the constellation of Koch-funded "think tanks" or "non-profits", and part of your job is to foment unrest in the sub as part of your "social media/web producer" job.

Hello, OP sockpuppet account who was created earlier this year and seemingly only comments on crime posts.

Is all OP does is post reports about crime in the District?

The problem with that is you lose some of the ethnic enclaves and Metro accessible locations north of the Beltway in Maryland. Wheaton has great Thai and ramen restaurants. The North Bethesda to Rockville corridor is where so many of the good Chinese restaurants are.

The Inn at Little Washington is south of Front Royal, and is perennially included on these lists.

Not quite. The champions for the 2003, 2004, and 2005 seasons were LSU, USC, and Texas.

ETA that Oklahoma and Ohio State were the 2000 and 2002 champions.

The lead singer of Ontario-based band Single Mothers called London the armpit of the province.

Oceannaire Room is nice and has a broad range of options.

Excellent bagels. Also, if you’re going to Silver Spring, Parkway Deli carries them.

I don’t remember if Calvert Woodley carries them, but OP can check either there or Bread Furst if they’re in the Van Ness area.

The Hot Tiger chicken sandwich at Lucky Buns is the best I’ve ever had.

Bruh, take my upvote and leave.

Was it ever? I feel like the show had its “Jump the Shark” moment in Season 1 with Dermott McDermott and his “crybaiting” scene. AHS: Coven was entertaining because of Cathy Bates, but I haven’t liked any other season sufficiently to finish one.

They could also sub-lease it. Maybe they’ll stick around, as they have other offices and facilities in the area. I’m skeptical because it’s typically not a great sign when a company moves its HQ out of state.
