I've heard military people get very used to sleeping on the floor and often need extra firm mattresses in civilian life.

Looking at these troops I wonder how many are bored to tears and would rather be out in the wind, rain and mud. Not sure how long I could sit there. I’m sure the internet helps. Before the internet a day of sitting in a room waiting to see if I was selected for jury duty was sheer torture and that was 8 hours at most.

nice social distancing.
I hope those troops are democrats.
If they are republicans, every one of them will have covid.
And then everyone in the building will catch it.
Maybe that was the plan all along.

@Aqua-Letifer that’s bananas. They’re also shutting down all bridges across the river other than the American Legion and Wilson (far edges of the beltway).
To say this is overkill is an understatement but I get it. Trump fired these treasonous folks up and the government is preparing in kind.

We are providing the piano for John Legend and a few of the other acts performing at the Lincoln Memorial at the inauguration. This is shutting our delivery and service departments down for three days. We are charging what would seem to be an obscene amount for a one day rental, but it’s resulting in us having 5 guys put up in a DC hotel for 3 days, go through multiple COVID tests, and it’s taking away 15% of our January delivery and service opportunities...

That is so cool and thanks for sharing what goes into this.

There are currently more troops deployed to Washington, than Iraq and Afghanistan, combined.

@Loki @89th It’s not very cool in my book. We put together a logistical plan that would have cost us 10 hours. The plan was approved by the security people, but the bean counters decided differently. Now my sales staff is losing three days of deliveries which costs them income.
Charge more? That an option?

I’m sorry I thought from reading your post that you had built that all into your price.

Maybe not, at least not by much. Maybe. I remember reading about the security coverage for Obama, and being surprised at how heavy it was. I especially remember reading that it extended all the way to New Jersey!

Remember when Trump wanting to call in the National Guard because violent mobs were trying to attack the White House and wanted to kill him and it was called fascism and cowardly? Good times...

I'm old enough to remember when cops couldn't safely do their jobs to quell mob violence in 2020 without their tactics being put under a microscope. Much less would it have been feasible to deploy the national guard.
