Overheard in OCC's #biden#micron speech livestream auditorium:
1) "Who's here for extra credit?"
2) "No, Biden will NOT be coming here." (Secret Service did not sweep this building, said event organizers)
3) "Starting soon. Could be 2 mins or 20."
One of the people Biden met at the @MicronTech exhibit was a man named Brian, who graduated from OCC and SU -- and is an Air Force veteran. Exactly the kind of person Micron has vowed to hire.
@OnondagaCC is live streaming the #Biden#Micron speech in an auditorium next door to the actual speech. OCC student Amelia Hann showed up even though she sometimes feels like people her age are getting a politics overload. "I'm just kind of exhausted," she said.
Karen Bellows is a 3rd gen construction contractor and lifelong #Syracuse resident. The #Micron project is a huge economic opportunity for the city, she said. When she got the invite to hear #Biden speak, she didn't hesitate. "When do you get to see the president?" she said.
@OnondagaCC students Tashawn Folks (left) and MJ Thomas showed up to hear Biden speak in #Syracuse today. Biden's doing ok, they said. "He's not worse than Trump," said Folks. Top of mind for students like him are stimulus checks and student loan forgiveness, they said. #Biden
@GlobeAbraham on how the @MBTA isn't keeping up with #Boston expansion. From #Revere, where new condos are built every month, I'm also wondering how our transit system will keep up...
