DC keeps turning the screws and ignoring the businesses folding daily. See stories about $1000 fines for businesses not following guidelines. I want businesses to be responsible for their employees and customers health. But ya gotta wonder what a $1000 fine does to profitability with business down 50-80% . If I’m the one taking risk, at some point the frustration just mounts. VA wants their economy to survive and come back quickly once there’s a viable vaccine or treatment.

Stop watching cable news and getting lost in clickbait. When the history is written with a fuller data picture, it will note how one orange idiot caused 1/3 of the populace to ignore more sound health advice and another 1/3 to overreact. Relax!

I was taking a walk there on Saturday and it was incredible how many people were packed into spaces and not distancing, especially at The Lot

Survival of the fittest I guess huh? 💪

It’s concerning but NoVa has been flat or slightly decreasing (# of new cases) for the past few weeks. So it’s risky, but not crazy

However, the rest of VA is struggling 🥴

This reasoning drives me insane. The reason numbers get better is BECAUSE of quarantine measures. If you relax the second things get better, they go right back up.

Segmenting / database quality question —- we have 2 segments based on EE count : 21-100 and 101+. We use LinkedIn as source of truth. Problem is I can’t prospect using LI Nav as they only let you pull by range 51-200. Any idea how to search LI based on LinkedIn employees (with profiles) not the range or best way to prospect into this segment?

Has anyone tried getting out of their lease and been successful? I’ve been isolating out of the city for 3mo and will be here at least another 3mo, if not more. I live in one of those large/newer buildings managed by Greystar Properties as opposed to a townhouse. Any successful angles/negotiation tactics/DC laws that worked in your favor (relative to the public health crisis/pandemic) would be greatly appreciated. For context, lease technically ends Dec 9, but am looking to get out before then
