Hidden Costs of the Republican Convention

Robin just received a letter from Terri Cunningham at DC, informing freelancers that "the security requirements for the convention will likely delay, and sometimes prohibit, our workday commute. In the event that we are understaffed as a result of our personnel being unable to get to work, our workflow may be disrupted. This disruption could prevent us from delivering payment to you in the usual time frame during the week leading to the convention, which begins August 30th and ends September 2nd. Please prepare for this possibility." Just one example of how the imminent lockdown of Manhattan has hidden repurcussions that often resonate way beyond the island.
