Uh, this sounds like straight-up fraud.

>I'm a D.C. area local who moved away for a few years and has recently returned.

I took this to mean you've only been gone for ~3 years. My bad!

>I'm just curious if anyone things I can find something in a decently safe neighborhood, these days, for under $1,000 in which I can live alone.

You're from the area and really can't tell that these are obvious scams? I've been in D.C. for eight years and rents were already stupid expensive back then.

It's good that you thought to ask before engaging with them, but no - you will not find any "decent" apartments for anything close to $1,000. (To be honest, ~$2k should probably be your baseline.)

You're conflating two very different things.

Ginsburg was rumored to have been asked to retire as early as 2013 (when the Dems still controlled the Senate, i.e. so they could replace her with any candidate they wanted before the 2014 election); Garland wasn't nominated until 2016.

Why not? She didn't know Trump would be the nominee. Her best opportunity to retire was years before the 2016 election cycle even started.

The whole point is she shouldn't have left it to any chance. She fucked around and now we'll be paying the price for generations to come.

People who worship RBG are so selective in their memory.

She's the #1 reason for the state of our current Supreme Court. She also really wasn't the progressive hero many memorialize her as.

Also... local hero? She was born in Brooklyn lol.

My sense is: 1) the near-term effects of *AGI* are way overblown, and 2) will take much longer to materialize than many predict, as with the case of self-driving vehicles.

If you're waiting around for something to happen, don't. You'll have plenty of time to prepare. (And if you're even in a position to worry about these sort of things I'm sure you'll be just fine.)
