DC went from being run by irresponsible democrats, to somewhat responsible democrats, and now SJWs who just raised the minimum wage to 15$ an hour (which will kill the service industry) and want to now ban straws.

DC is run about as well as can be expected, considering what they have to work with.

And Gulfport is a small city/large town with a population of 72,000. Gambling and the Naval Base there are the bulk of its prosperity.

If the federal government should pull out of DC; I mean
everything: Congress, White House, Supreme Court, all of the
agencies, Pentagon, museums, etc, that city would
look like Soweto, South Africa in month.
