Seeing now (after posting on other thread) that it's a rental... In the winter you can "shrink wrap" your windows. That may also help with sound-dampening.

Could also try leaning a noise dampening panel against the window(s)?

Definitely heavy curtains.
(And double pane windows if you own and can afford.)
And then I've had good luck with
LectroSound Noise Machine for Sleep and Relaxation. It's very basic but works well.
Also a loud tabletop fan.
Sometime I use both.

Good luck!

One of these days we should sit down and compare notes on observations from this year.

This is the news I did know I needed today.

Yeah that gives alcoholism vibes more than bougie vibes...

I have no idea how this is going to play out. I know some are angry now. But others were angry already.
Mostly, I think no one (except goons) will be happy while the rule of law is being trampled.

Labor unions started calling for an end to the shutdown, too.

Ds were getting pressure from labor unions to end it.
Some of the base was calling for holding the line, but not all of it.

I have that read, too.
But... also...
In the past week I noticed increasing calls from labor unions to end the shutdown.

So I am less sure how broadly unpopular the vote will wind up being...

Duly noted. Thank you!
