Is there anyone out there that is mapping any delayed or cancelled federal payments ? Would be really interesting to see which towns and cities are going to be hit
is the goal merit or is the goal segregation?

Doug Mills is one of the greatest to ever do it.

I referenced this the other day at an event and got the sense that most people had never heard of it, but looking to be ahead of its time! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aUt...
