[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life in 2025 is very normal in my McLean neighborhood, very similar to last year.[/quote]

Congrats on your insulation, I guess? I don’t even live in the DC area—I’m about three hours away—but I was at a sports competition for my kid recently and overheard conversations among parents from a NoVa team about widespread layoffs among their neighborhood friends.[/quote]

The vast majority of people who live in McLean have a lot of $$$ to weather the bad economy.   It is what it is.[/quote]

[b]Plenty of negatively impacted federal workers/fed contractors/fed adjacents in McLean[/b].  Unfortunately the PP doesn't understand that their anecdote are not actual data.

Yeah. I never understand the solitary person who says they don't see any issue as if they can see inside all the houses and know the details of the lives of everyone around them.

I have no idea how my neighborhood is doing. On the surface, things seem the same. However, I live in area with people T would like to kick out because of their skin color.

That there are two news articles from just this week covering the event at the McLean Community Center featuring 11 fired federal workers sharing their tale of economic woes following the mass layoffs.  That might give you a clue that the anecdote about McLean not having any negative impacts is false.
