Just leave it comatose. Our country will be better off for it.
The pandemic is an excuse for the systemic failures of DC and other Democrat controlled cities to properly protect their citizens while actively encouraging felonious behavior.
A 1 MT explosion would help, assuming it’s a Tuesday and Congress is in session. About 10:00 am.
And DC is about to pass “criminal justice” reforms. That will solve the problem. /s
Keep pissing off Putin and you’ll be able to start from a clean slate.
Darn, how sad.
Love the comments posted already. Sorry, but couldn’t bring myself to go to the link and give the WP an undeserved hit.
I’m heading to DC tomorrow.
I won’t be entertaining downtown for certain.
In fact, my trip to DC inner-sanctum will be brief since I can’t wear a hazmat suit...
Is all of DC working from home? /sarcasm
The newspaper owned by Amazon/Bezos is worried about brick and mortar businesses? Okay.....
That means the lockdown was a tremendous success.
Well they could have federal workers go back to the office like much of the rest of the world.
I had to work in DC a couple of weeks ago. I stayed at Hotel Washington across from the US Treasury building and around the corner from the White House.
The urban campers had set up tents along the sidewalks.
I hopefully will not have to go back often.
The authors are trying to make us feel SORRY for D.C. that it is no longer an insular, insulated, EXPENSIVE place and that people who work for the government cannot be so easily schmoozed.
I, along with the 99.99% of Americans who do not work inside the beltway, think this is a GOOD thing that strengthens the fabric of the country.
I pray it is permanent.
1: Remove the entire population.
2: Raze the entire district.
3: Bring in an octillion tons of clean fill dirt and bury the (literally) swamp.
4: Rebuild the infrastructure and buildings
5: Only let sane and honest people back in.
But I don’t know why anyone would want to bother
I will never step foot in that city again. Its not safe. And its especially unsafe for Trump lovers.
Sounds like downtown Trenton, downtown Harrisburg (just to name two state capitals I had the misfortune to visit in the recent past).
Ghost towns for businesses. All the money is hidden behind the marble walls of State.
How to fix? Carve off the residential areas and return them to Maryland. Re-define the District of Columbia to just the federal distract, the embassies, etc. Then, put the federal government in charge of the district, as it should be. Home Rule has been a total and absolute disaster (and I lived in the area for 19 years). Integrating the residential areas and what is left of commercial areas back into Maryland will allow for a total top-down reset to maybe start cleaning up the community.
Time to pull the plug
