I've lived in NYC for nearly 40 years in different apartments. Additionally, I've been in probably over 1,000 other apartments. None of them had fire sprinklers in them. I've never seen sprinklers in private houses, either.

Was Trump Tower required to have sprinklers in the private apartments? Or were they limited to the public/retail areas?

he is killing more than someone, there are people he is using as "human shields" as it was mentioned last night on MSNBC. He is actually killing these people and he and band of thugs do not fucking care.

This could escalate very quickly but then the useless McConnell can end it.

Even in a strong economy, Americans are losing their health coverage.

New study finds 45,000 deaths annually linked to lack of health coverage
https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2009/09/new-study-finds-45000-deaths-annually-linked-to-lack-of-health-coverage/

7 million more uninsured translates into roughly 7,000 more Americans dying from a lack of healthcare each year.

On heathcare alone, he is already more than doubling 9/11 in deaths each year.

Several people have died in national parks since the shutdown started. The fault lies at the feet of the White House Occupier.

but you are right, this government shutdown will claim its own death toll very soon.
