I did read the article. Nice that it led to lots of donations! Almost like rich people felt bad!

The phrasing obviously sucks but it is true? The wealth gap between the students and the residents where they practice is as extreme as anywhere in the country. This is worth pointing out. Wouldn’t hurt anyone if some of those DC Urban Moms donated to the Eastern PTA. Regardless, the band kicks ass and looks fantastic - they were definitely the highlight of Pride this year.

Don’t listen to the people trying to talk you out of Taco Bell. You’re a tourist! Eat where you want to. If you’re here for two weeks you can eat at all of those places no problem.
