Regarding those protests:
I spoke with Mr. Hylton’s family this morning to express my condolences & listen. This is a tragedy – a family & our community are mourning the death of a young man. As details become available, it’s incumbent on the Executive to ensure a transparent & expedient investigation. https://t.co/KoUxsDQRxu

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
