@norad88A@PaulMBanks I've been to 3 games the last 2 years and know people who have been to 2 more, and in every case hotel rooms that started at stupid high prices dropped to 200 or less in the days leading up to the game. Is that an exhaustive survey? No. Do I think it's a strong pattern? Yes.
@alvinsng In Chicago anyway, I never once had to haggle with or deal with a cab driver trying to force a flat rate or refusing to run the meter until Uber and Lyft arrived and undercut them to the point that cabs are basically now forced to break the law simply to compete.
@PettusWX How is this better or different than the multitude of other sunset forecasting apps? How calibrated is this (I.e. when it says 80 or 72 or 25, how often does it produce a great sunset)? How often does it update?

This is my single most technocratic take. The President should make something like $50M a year. Senators, $1M. House members, $500k. *And* the costs of work-related travel, and of maintaining a second household in the DC area, should be fully covered for members of Congress.
In exchange, ban all Congressional stock trading.
