The void responds! It only took a couple more days.
That doesn't appear less than fully competent.
It's okay though, the person whose family is primarily federally employed, the reason for following this, took another job in the interim.

Turns out a state job site launched... but it's not at ApplyRI as written and incorrectly noted as linked.
And when using various state links (DLT or Div. of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion) I still got sent to the old site. Maybe it's a cookie problem. But maybe link the new site?

Do we want downtown to be a bustling business district again?
I don't think that's in its future.
I don't think that's in its future.
If we want a thriving downtown, people need to be able to get there.
Instead, we dug an asphalt moat around a bustling business district, told people to drive (but don't park), then we cut off reliable transit to the area. It's a death spiral. The fastest way out is buses and bike lanes.

Does it seem strange that president who's been shot at is branding a derringer?
Branding a gun w/ a guy who can’t & doesn’t shoot might sound off. Until you remember they branded a Bible with this same guy, who defies Christ daily. And also a cheap, cheesedick painted basketball shoe…for a guy who doesn’t wear sneakers, much less play basketball. So yeah, this tracks.
