[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly, the rest of America does not care. I don't have any data on it, but I can imagine much of the economy of the DMV depends on the federal government directly through federal employment, indirectly through federal contracts, and indirectly through all of the services that those employed by the federal government or contractors consume. I suspect the federal government is a major source of household wealth in this area. The federal government is also a more diverse workforce than the private sector. My household has for 20 years depended on the federal government as our sole source of income, as my spouse and I have worked both directly for the federal government or as contractors. Three quarters of the people on my block in a suburb far outside the beltway are either are feds or contractors. We are all viewed as part of the problem by most of America. Our local reps in congress care, but they can't do anything.[/quote]

A ton of the rest of the country are essentially nihilists.  They are upset they are losers and just want to punish winners.

They have no illusion that their lives will improve…they just want to bring everyone down to their level.

I have many family members who think like this and JD Vance profiled them perfectly in Hillbilly Elegy.[/quote]
