This was really brought home to me after spending 6 weeks on jury duty in DC. There were whole neighborhoods rendered illegible to the DC and US govts - not 5 miles to the US capitol. And we're supposed to untangle tribal alliances in Afg?https://twitter.com/SkinnerPm/status/952718329088798721 …

You got to serve on a jury? Imma move to D.C. Just so one day I can serve on a jury. Here I'm a total outlier who'll never be permitted to serve.

Everybody who's not a felon in DC gets called every two years like clockwork. My jury had 3 lawers, 2 phds, a metro employee. Case was totally crazy. People were pretty great.

That's my impression. I was ALMOST on a jury--was first one picked and last one booted. First they booted all the PoC (GR is white enough they can accomplish that fairly easily). Then, after I said I'd listen to judge, prosecutor googled me and booted me forthwith.
