Yet again, grateful to live in California, where school breakfast and lunches are free to all students. Hands down, best use of my taxes (public libraries are a close #2).

If they show up. Have done phone-banking. Hard to beat apathy.
Fat old Hamburgler vs ripped, brook-no-shit woman.
Good luck with that.
In a previous post, somebody called it a name that will forever live in my head:
WankPanzer.
Who the hell is waiting till 10am?
Losing the all-important male stripper customer base.
Obligatory:
It's a tough call. Last bit of independence for someone feeling their world getting smaller. Anecdotally, both my father and father-in-law damaged their cars (one hit the highway median after dozing off) and their wives told them they couldn't afford to replace the cars. Fortunately, nobody got hurt but it could have been a lot worse.
Old family recipe. Gently sprinkle 2 Tsp of turmeric on top. You won't taste the rubber.
Years ago. Was visiting a client on-site. Meeting ran late and had to race home. Popped into a 'natural' food store to get something. Grabbed a package of pre-made 'fresh' shrimp spring rolls out of one of those open coolers. Ate in the car.
A 1.5 hour drive turned into a four hour nightmare with all the unplanned stops.
Never again.
Friend of mine used to volunteer for the local chapter of a well-known national non-profit. He tried to explain all the technical benefits of setting up a website, yada yada. The board didn't care and were bored.
He finally set up a small demo on his own. Just a few screens. Ran a small test. Presented static screenshots, along with charts and stats on viewership and engagements. Had mockups of donation pages, volunteer signup screens, newsletters, etc. That was when people saw the value and got interested.
Nobody cares about decentralized social networks, the technology, or how terrible the other outlets are. For a municipality, you may want to focus on maintaining multiple channels of communications and ways to reach and engage the most users. You could then fold the fediverse into it as one more channel. Something they should keep an eye on. They'll need a way to post the same content to all those channels with the least effort. Something easy that a trained intern or clerk can do.
Guarantee there will be questions of cost of setup, maintenance, and risks. May want to have some answers and slides ready.
Management would fold in 24 hours if they threatened to withhold Wordle.

How is crowd size at a rally a relevant data point for anything?
