[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Contractors who do home renovations and the like should also be worried. My husband and I (not feds or contractors) just decided to hold off indefinitely on a kitchen remodel because we are cutting spending in anticipation of what is to come. [/quote]

True.

Lots of trumpers in construction. We are also holding off on a major project. Might never get done at this point.

We've cancelled all plans to do any work to our house or yard. Also stopping all eating out of any sort, to try to save an emergency fund.

Private industry staff in the DC area will have to step up to save the restaurants. [/quote]

Private industries are seeing cuts too.  Its no one's responsibility but the owner's to save their restaurants.  If they price themselves out of the market that's on them.  We cut back as the prices went up and quality went down.  I'm not paying more than $20 for a meal for a sit down except a rare occasion out and I'm not spending $15-20 for fast food.[/quote]

We had people saying this for years on DCUM in response to inflation and endless posts by people who said they'd stopped eating out. And yet at the same time endless posts also wondering how restaurants are still packed and busy. I don't know what the real situation is but I've learned to stop paying much attention to what people say on DCUM about what's going on. I'm sorry for the fed employees whose future just became massively uncertain but these posters wishing for an economic crash won't be getting what they wish for. Just do what you need to do for yourself and your family. [/quote]

This is different.  The DC area has always been insulated from economic downturns.  Not this time.  It will hit everyone hard like we’ve never seen.   Buckle up.[/quote]
