Everyone who's tweeting, "I'm bored" -- this is SUPPOSED TO BE BORING. POLITICS SHOULD BE BORING, COMPETENT PEOPLE TAKING CARE OF SHIT SO YOU CAN LIVE YOUR LIFE. IT SHOULDN'T GOBBLE UP ALL THE OXYGEN IN EXISTENCE. The fuck is wrong with everyone? #VPDebate

UPDATE: #NYCASP rules will be suspended tomorrow, Wednesday, March 18 through Tuesday, March 24. Meters will remain in effect.
Suspension may be extended based on street cleanliness & workforce availability. NYers who have received tickets can appeal to the Dept of Finance.
