@mbalimcdust It’s horrible. And the shortening from 5 to 10 days is horrible too. I recently just recovered from COVID and had a pretty easy go of it, in comparison to other stories I’ve heard, & at 10 days I still felt really awful.

I think COVID patients deserve 2 weeks paid, at minimum.

What a powerful metaphor and analogy. The city as home, even a sacred place or sanctuary, worthy of respect.

Provokes imagination of possibilities for designing this structurally in ways that are radically inclusive.

Outgoing FCC commissioner @AjitPai thinks 3 Mb/s is fast enough for homes. The FCC's website defaults to streaming at 720p, with a target bitrate of 3.5 Mb/s.

In other words, 3 Mb/s isn't enough to even watch the videos of the FCC's own meetings.
