I worked with @saalevine at the FTC. He was one of the most thoughtful, creative, and smart people in the room.
And he's right. We don't have to live like this. Glad he's on duty for NYC workers and consumers!

And from our @kimayadiggs, "My personal NY resolution is to try out creative processes that are new to me, or seem difficult/weird. I always like trying to refresh my own process by replicating processes that don’t really resonate with me, mainly as a generative exercise."
