Back to the boundaries. Imagine the curiosity the subject would bring out amongst the American subjects. Virginia was a slave state and they wanted to keep it that way. DC slaves had more freedom. Had that part of Virginia stayed part of the capital there might have been more pressure to deal with the issue sooner. I’m not a historian but most can agree our founding fathers had it right and most of their ideas are timeless. So what happens if all of us bored folk get to watch this fight on the tube while the rats are flailing in retreat? It would be like Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Who’s gonna light the fire? It would be awesome.

Even figuring only a $100,000 salary, and the average is probably higher, that’s $6 Billion reduction in base salary. Plus a benefit package plus job related expenses (car, parking, travel) and surely there were expense account/gov’t credit card abuses, the savings may be well over $10 Billion.

Let's see it go to a 100 year low.

30 is a start.
