Credit card brand lounges in airports are basically millennial daycares.

I've had a cleaning person come to my apartment 2x/month for a year now and can honestly say it's the best money I've ever spent. The orderly calmness of sitting in my apartment after she's done is worth more than any other nonessential item in my budget.

@Brett_327 @silent_affairs @IHGhotels We've since moved back to DC and it's still a problem, three years later. The answer isn't to shrug and say "it isn't easy" - the answer is that the DOD needs to fix the underlying problems.

@Brett_327 @silent_affairs @IHGhotels Families don't choose to live in hotels for a year unless they have no other option. Period. This has been a known at JBLM since we moved there from DC in 2020.

@mpdillon Might be some submersible seats up for grabs in the coming year after the recent news cycle. Not sure if that would really qualify as "hospitality" though.

@Brett_327 @silent_affairs @IHGhotels My point was your comment about "find an apartment". Off post housing is way more competitive than it is in DC and the wait list at area bases, though long in DC, are nowhere near as long as JBLM. Cost isn't even the number one blocker if you're one of 20 people inquiring.

@em_palmer @silent_affairs @IHGhotels Yes, those locations are both different, and present unique challenges. The point being, some places just cost more and BAH won’t always provide the same level of QOL in all locations. In DC, I paid out of pocket over BAH for a house 1/2 the size. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Brett_327 @silent_affairs @IHGhotels We've been stationed in both DC and JBLM in the last three years. There is a huge difference in the housing markets, both in terms of what BAH will cover, and plain availability of options. JBLM housing, on and off post, was a nightmare that I never care to repeat.

@silent_affairs @IHGhotels Find an apartment. That may involve spending more than BAH and getting rid of pets. I had to do that when stationed in DC. Not optimal, some sometimes necessary. Adulting is authorized.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
People w/ mental health conditions make up 53% of the population at Rikers. On average, they are held 61% longer. We pay $556,000 per person annually to keep them in jail. 90% on Rikers are held without conviction. By contrast, it costs ~$42k to put them in supportive housing.

Soldiers right now are more likely to be away from home than the peak of the Iraq/Afghanistan wars. Europe, the Pacific, Africa and constant training obligations are stretching the force thin and pushing families to the breaking point. military.com/daily-news/202…
