Ken From Hyde Park: Sounds like tinfoil umbrellas would be a good business opportunity for downtown Baltimore.   6:27pm
Graham: Crime is way down in Baltimore these days. Great town full of great people, quite a number of worker owned businesses, strong feeling of neighborliness and community. Affordable housing, and reasonable travel times to the rest of the NE corridor and the mid Atlantic.
Lots of green spaces full of wildlife here too.

I saw this author speak recently at our local coffee shop slash bookstore, worker owned: Red Emma’s. Amusing that not everyone employed by this spy plane company was eager to admit it publicly!

melinda: hi everyone! ♥ 6:30pm
the other nadia (hectic): hey mark, i don't know if you've talked about this before, but something i feel the effect of most in my life as a young person is the social pressure to have a phone and be on the internet all the time. i don't want to have a phone, but it forms barriers in my relationships with people because they all have this sort of aspect of their life that i don't. do you think you could have a show about this and the effects of social media on the youths today? 🤖 ♥ 6:32pm

PaulRobeson1925: The War on Drugs is the new Jim Crow

Prohibition can’t stop what it’s meant to stop. It’s not about the drugs. It is about controlling people

welcome, Chris   6:41pm
jan: I was a student at Maryland Institute in Baltimore. The campus was right in the middle of downtown Baltimore. This was 1973-1975 and while the city was intact near the campus, there were acres of demolished lots - the ruins of the riots in the 60s. Each day starting at dusk, helicopters flew over the city, shining bright searchlights over the streets. Being innocent, I thought it would be fun to run away from the roving searchlight. Being a white kid, I was of no interest to the cops. Sometime later, a friend and I snuck on to a derelict ship in the harbor. The cops were called and the helicopter swooped down, and the squad cars converged on the location. Hearing the sirens, we ran back to the street before the police arrived. We were questioned and let go- white privilege... ♥ 6:42pm
