    TFG Unbuttoned: Rainbow Crosswalks in Real World Duffy’s Crosshairs
    Jul 8 2025

Then Transportation Secretary Duffy is targeting Rainbow Crosswalks as distracting and political, though he is basing his opposition for the crosswalks on opinion and no facts or data. Finally, hotel etiquette and respect for staff and public area behavior is a thing of the past. Showing up in the lobby barefoot and in pajamas while talking loudly on cell calls with no shoes in common areas is more prevalent than you would think.
