On The Grind: DC Ranked No.1 Most Overworked US City

7. Spooky, thank you for reminding people of that.

One of the most haunting parts of the day on 1/6 was when the Speakers young staff was trapped in a conference room. As recounted in the hearings one young female staff member asked the other while hiding behind a table behind a locked door if she thought they(meaning the insurrectionists) were taking hostages she answered, “I think so”. When later asked about that the staffer said it was more comforting to think they were taking hostages than the alternative. That defined the terror of that day to me. These young peoples lives are changed. They were terrorized, it is that simple. And yes, they do work their asses off.

Also, I would love a 32 minute commute in DC. I can’t believe that is the average but I am now jealous of those that have it.
