[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There will be massive ripple effects but not sure why people think it will be limited to MoCo. It's not like Amazon will save NoVa, and DOGE is apparently descending on the defense department this week. In addition, Fairfax, Arlington, and MoCo all have roughly the same percentages of federal workers.[/quote] If you isolate for the private sector - not Feds, not state employees, not charitable organization employees - Maryland has the lowest private sector job growth of any state except Oregon. It is going to get dire here real quick. A lot of us have been warning about this for a while. But everyone kept on voting in sloppy progressives with policies that scared away business owners and people with money who actually contribute to the tax base. Now you’re going to reap what you sowed. Hope all that virtue signaling was worth it when we can’t even afford to fund any social services anymore. [/quote]
