There's a reason most of WIC is dairy...formula, cheese, milk. It's really just a massive dairy industry subsidy. I'm sure those farmers all voted for Kamala though.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the vast majority of farmers (stupidly!) voted for Trump. It quoted many of them who said their business hadn't fully recovered, since he tanked the ag sector his first term, but they sure like the handouts he gave them, that Biden continued. They can all fail. Musk and Vance et al will buy shuttered farms for pennies to create big ag. Oh well!

I can’t believe the stupidity of small businesses and non fed people, they didn’t bother to think that if their clients lose jobs then they lose business, but here we are. I have a couple of relatives in Baltimore who voted for Trump and their business sales are in the dump. I have zero sympathy.

Btw, I am not a Fed but I have 2 brain cells to figure out that pretty much everything in DC is tied to the Federal government.

I tried to explain this to my friend who owns a business in an industry that often uses illegal workers, which he claims undercuts him. So he voted for Trump. And now his clients are cancelling jobs because they fear the economy is tanking or they have already lost their job. Not sure how he didn't foresee this but....

well most who voted for trump are not known for their braincells or critical thinking

interesting as my hair dresser said people are finally doing more highlights and expensive treatments now because they are more optimistic. She is closed Sunday like most hairdressers she takes Sunday/Monday off.

LOL, your hairdresser spends way too much time inhaling fumes.

Sure they might be optimistic now….give it some more time.

We hosted a group of them last weekend during a visit to the area and from I gathered she isn’t of the same political persuasion as the bf.

Did you tell her to run from her MAGA BF-ick

I actually heard the opposite at a salon last week. The woman washing my hair said they've seen less appointments and tips are less generous. She was wondering if it's due to fed workers feeling uncertain of future.

You seem to be suggesting that people in America should vote for what's best for the people in the DC metro area? Why would someone in Illinois vote so that DC area workers are employed by the government?

What a dumba$$, thinking that Feds only exist in DC.

Exactly. Dumb AF. The majority work outside DC and universities that get fed funding for research have to cut. Many of these are in MAGA land and confederate country. WSJ had a story.

Goodbye, U Alabama!

Not just Alabama will be impacted. They are the only state with a university getting NIH funding.

Do you mean they are NOT the only state?

That's my understanding too. I said by to Alabama because they are so red. Hope they enjoy poverty!

And, these cuts affect DC based feds a lot more. Feds outside of DC might lose their job, but their community will remain robust. Real estate won't crater, and the job market will won't be oversaturated the way it will be in DC.

DC feds are hosed. RIP the job market, real estate market, tax base, etc.

Tell that to Kansas City!

IDK about you all, but my nail tech and hair stylist are booked out for weeks. The restaurants are busy, and the line at the Louis Vuitton store at the mall was a mile long. I'm in AZ.

It will take time for the collapse to reach states like AZ.
