I guess that means in our version of Panem, I live in the Capitol District.
Jackals feeding on the carrion corpse of this country. I hope they get food poisoning.
Washington,DC
It is a company like any other, with individuals acting out in their own interests.
The difference being they have guns and can kill or imprison anyone in their way.
Washngton,DC
Time to start culling that herd.
Actually, way past time.
One reason is he pays more to rent a place to park his Beamer per month than I ever paid per month on our downtown 2 story 7k Plus sq. ft. commercial building. His apartment rent is slightly less then want he pays for parking.
200K sounds like a lot of money and around here it is. In NYC or Near DC I doubt it.
Leftist/Progressive government is, by default, corrupt and crony government.
When everything is controlled by politics, then only those with political connections get rich
I live in the NYC suburbs and I don’t make $200,000 a year, yet I live quite comfortably and am able to put my kids through college.
There’s something wrong with you relative’s priorities and the way he handles his money. I know I wouldn’t trust him with mine.
I skipped right to a comment without looking at the story to lodge my guess that Maryland has a strong population of government parasites and scammers.
Ain’t Marxism wonderful?
Pray America is waking
From the first time I saw that film, I had that exact sense. All we need to complete the vision are the weird styling of hair and clothes.
Assets = what? A paid off home and less than adequate retirement savings can easily put one in the million dollar range. I’m early 50’s and have assets around a million but certainly don’t live a lavish lifestyle and at least 10 more years to even think about realistically retiring. Vehicles all have over 100,000 miles with newest being 8 years old and the oldest with over 250K 16 years-old. I would bet that the majority of the 8% are 55 or older.
Fortunately I live in NE Maryland, almost as far from that swamp-cesspool DC as is possible in Maryland.
If you must know, there are plenty of parasites, particularly clustered around DC and Baltimore.
Didn’t read your article, but I have always assumed it is the result of having access to the corridors of power in Washington D.C.
Me too. Looks like our guess was right on the money judging by the comments.
The problem with kicking out incumbents is they start to collect pensions on Day 2, even if they only served on Day 1. We first have to reform the government pension system and that will never happen even if the country declares bankruptcy.
Not QUITE. There’s a lot of biotech development in the area, as well as a lot of computer and telecom tech produced here in Metro DC.
You just don’t see it, as it’s massively overshadowed by Fedzilla.
And only the Elect are really doing well. I haven’t had a raise or bonus in years, but the super-rich are making money hand-over fist.
Meanwhile, those of us mere workers, out in the endless suburbs STILL haven’t had our property values recover. . .
