I just learned that if a hermit crab finds a new shell that is too big it will wait for other hermit crabs who need new shells to gather and then they will organize themselves by size and trade shells and I am pissed that the crabs have a better housing market than we do

Good. These are archaic contracts that date back to a time when companies were responsible for employees entire future.

House speaker Tim Moore just threw cokd water on Charlotte's 7.5b transit plan, saying it's too focused on rail, buses and bike lanes. He wants more $$ for roads.

This is really cute

Could the next financial crisis be caused by the wealthiest individuals? Most Americans don't have a huge amount of money to withdraw from banks and where would we put it? How do we protect the 90% of Americans who don't have the luxury of panicking about where their money is?

When Southeast Raleigh is experiencing gentrification (even very visible impacts like the house on Swain five years ago) these folks are quiet. But when their neighborhood begins to gentrify its a big deal and there are lawsuits. There's a lot of privilege there.

Riders seeking shelter on buses were there before fares went away. We don't fix our transit system or budget issues by charging people who cannot afford another $600/year tax. We do it by providing frequent, reliable, and affordable service. newsobserver.com/news/local/cou…

I am stepping down as ED of WakeUP Wake County Sept 1st. Over the next few months I'll get a chance to say it again and again, but I am so grateful for all our partners, volunteers, and colleagues! As for what's next? I'm looking for that next opportunity!

Listen to last night's Marketplace episode for a really interesting take on the debt default threat and a reminder of how money actually works in our system. My 11 yo had taken an interest in the issue and I played the episode for them. #mindblown

#ncga leadership stripped McNeely of his leadership role after he questioned Rep. Abe Jones if he got into Harvard because he was black and not because of his hard work, on the floor of the Chamber.

Housing is indirectly included in everything local govt funds. In the Wake County Public School System budget approved by Wake County Government Commissioners is a $17/hr min for non-certified staff.

It was a pleasure to work with Katy Crosby, Chief of Staff, City of Toledo in Apex, NC. She and I attempted to tackle a couple of mobile home parks that we're being redeveloped and made great headway in transit. I hope we get to work together again in the future, Katy!

Deeply disappointed in the americanair nonstop from RDU to LHR. American supplied a faulty plane that the mechanic said should never have flown to RDU. Now American can't say if the flight will leave tomorrow morning or be canceled all together.
