Jordan Klepper on The Daily Show was talking about how 9% of current residents have threatened to leave. His response: “You mean 9% of NY apartments will be vacant? That’s the fastest any mayor has ever delivered on a campaign promise!”

A character on TV said “parenting is a marathon”. Right, it starts out great, then they turn two, and the rest is like the last 5 miles.

Levitt, Vance, Johnson, and a few others need to go read their Bible (future tense is deliberate-they haven’t read it yet). Then we can talk about healthcare for immigrants.
