I can only imagine what our government response would be today to a real-world issue such as a major natural disaster or other crisis.

Oh, you mean like the Camp fire?

Conservatism in power never does.

15+ locks simply means they're thinking of the fines and downtime that would happen if one lock was missing.

Taxi Dispatcher here. If you find a cabbie who is good, get their driver number, not just their cell. This is for cases, like where I work, where everything has to go through dispatch. Drivers are required to inform the dispatch (in this case, me) that they have a "flag" pickup. Cab drivers at my job aren't allowed to take personal pickups. However, if you have their number, and said driver is available, dispatchers will often send them to you.

just smelling like cannabis will usually get you a random drug test. If you come up clean, yet reek of cannabis, they'll probably ask why. Just bring in a candle to show-n-tell.
