  It took decades of activism for DC residents to even regain basic civil rights, such as the right to keep handguns in the home.
I've lived in DC since 1999. I'll be charitable and say that this comment is misleading at best. It might be very narrowly and technically correct to say that there have been "decades of activism" on the subject, but it's about on the level of that one guy who sits in a tent in front of the White House every day. The overwhelming majority of DC residents were in favor of the law.

  The seats in the back of the 911 won't even hold an adult.
  You know when I found that out?
  When I went to pick it up on delivery.
Had you never even seen a picture of a 911 before dropping eighty grand on one?

This isn't Jimmy Growthtard's useless MVP. It's not a stretch to think that Google and their massive, massive, massive set of training data (i.e. everyone's e-mail) should be able to do better out of the box. Not being able to tell the difference between promotions and bank statements or travel bookings is a pretty huge failure to me.
