I work for an alcohol distributor. Part of my job is collect information, sales and otherwise, and push it to the suppliers. August is typically a down month but last weekend was BAD. Orders weds-Friday when most On premise(bars and restaurants) gets their orders show 40% decline vs previous week. The only time I’ve seen that in my 6 years of doing this is weather related. What alarms me is normally we see a lift going into a restaurant weekend (people out early in the week plus the weekend load in). Owners/managers report foot traffic is down and there was a noticeable amount of cancelled reservation last weekend. The major impact is on alcohol sales which represents a significant amount of revenue for a restaurant and everything for a bar. Doesn’t matter the type of venue, area of the city or demographic the account caterers to. Simply put no one wants to drink and walk past dozens of LEO’s.

We know you do. Fascists hate democracy.

Democrats that run a candidate with zero primary wins hate democracy.

So less drunk people stumbling around the sidewalks or driving around the city since they are well aware they could encounter law enforcement or a checkpoint. Got it! Thanks Trump! 👍🏻

The city is going to look great for those visiting foreign dignitaries when it's a bunch of boarded up shop fronts.

It will be replaced with stores from Trump cronies.

I know it’s frustrating when your home gets so much negative attention, but it’s deserved and the citizens need help. The first step towards recovery is admitting you have a problem.

+1. As I DC resident, I very much appreciate the contributions from WV, MS, SC and the other states that are here to help protect our national city.

I don't believe you are a dc resident? Which ward? How is it helpful that restaurants were full last week (with "high crime") and empty this week with the great blessings of these national guardsmen from other f*cked up and poor states? Those states need a lot more help than we do.
