Good job MoCo council: https://www.mymcmedia.org/25000-fewer-jobs-located-in-county-than-before-pandemic/
Keep raising those taxes, letting crime go unpunished, and enacting jobs killing initiatives. This keeps working wonders for the county over the last 20 years. The council’s response to this economic disaster is a joke:
Clearly this systemic problem can be addressed through equity initiatives (lol) rather than getting rid of progressive garbage and red tape that suffocates businesss and removes all incentives from even opening up or staying open in MoCo in the first place. But at least the county seems to have a steady stream of new bubble tea making jobs every week. I’m sure those jobs pay enough salary to pay for all of MoCo’s insane ideas and all of the teacher’s unions that blackmail taxpayers for never ending tax hikes. County is in decline, the numbers prove it, and all MoCo does is get poorer. It is snowballing. |
I don’t want jobs in MoCo. Jobs are in the city. MoCo should be mostly residential |
lol |
Insanity. MoCo generates way more tax revenue from commercial entities than from residents. Of course simple stuff like this goes way over the heads of TP/SS voters that are causing this fiasco. |
deep blue, what do you expect? tax everyone and offer a utopia world in which everyone is welcomed. |
This along with MoCos crime attracting policies are great for surrounding areas. |
And that makes you sound like a complete dumbass who doesn’t understand the first thing about an economy. |
Read this aloud next time you talk to an illiterate troll poster:
From the article: "the area has turned around and gained about 9,500 jobs recently, " |
My neighbors work remotely for out of county employers, while enjoying MoCo and paying income tax and property tax. Are those "MoCo" jobs?
All the benefits and none of the hassle (office space, commuting) is a win-win for us and MoCo. |
Better than deep red morons. Blue states financially hold up red states. Blue states want freedom for all women. Blue states do not do school vouchers BS Blue States do not have RW Christians trying to shove their BS religions on the rest of us. Move if you don't like it. |
Stupid take. Lose 35,000 jobs, spin it as 10,000 jobs recently gained! Net result is still negative 25,000 jobs. Way to sound like a moronic lobbyist for the progressive pols you represent. |
LOL. Maryland is HUGE taker state. It survives only on Federal money, dumbass. |
https://usafacts.org/articles/which-states-rely-the-most-on-federal-aid/ Maryland is not among the biggest takers, by any metric. |
Who cares. We don’t need that tax revenue. We don’t need most of the BS programs for education or health in the county. We only need better infrastructure to get to DC, make the big bucks there, and go home |
They're referring to the fact that MD relies a ton on govt jobs, and grants going to all sorts of 'community activist' orgs that employ people. If the govt divested away from the DMV MD, and especially MoCo, would be absolutely T boned. |
