I admire the ambition of the young folks who created this company and just hope that their limited experience doesn’t lead to anyone getting hurt. Most of them look like they’re fresh out of college. Reading through the employee profiles on their website I don’t think any of them currently hold an Engineering degree, although one of them is a student who is currently working on getting one. I wonder if the company itself is insured.

“ Five years after the start of the pandemic, local government employment is finally back at pre-pandemic levels. Municipalities are also bringing in more money, and their spending has rebounded as well. That means many services are coming back — and with them, places where young people can find support.

“We’re spending money on stuff, and when stuff is nicer, people have places to go. It creates jobs,” Asher says. “It creates environments where people are hanging out. It’s not the broken-windows concept of ‘we need to arrest people for graffiti,’ but it’s more like the kind of idealized version of broken windows that, 'if we make things nice and people are around it, it provides a means of interrupting cycles of violence.””

Thanks, Biden!
