Since opening in 2022, Herb Banks’ Waldorf-area distillery has served as a gathering spot for federal workers, including four men who used to reconnect over cocktails in the tasting room every Friday evening.
Lately, the group hasn’t stopped in as often. Nor have other regulars. Many in Waldorf, a booming, majority-Black bedroom community in Charles County, are scaling back their spending amid the Trump administration’s aggressive cuts to the federal workforce.
“The revenue has decreased significantly,” Banks said of his business, Copper Compass Distillery.
Charles and Prince George’s counties, Maryland neighbors with intertwined histories, are the nation’s richest majority-Black counties, with median household incomes that exceed $100,000. Nowhere else comes close. Dotted with megachurches, greenery and stately homes, they serve as powerful symbols of Black affluence and opportunity.

Yep, should have guessed it; all that tariff thing is just to launch a Jim Crow attack on those two black counties. Talk about racism. Plain as the nose on your face.
Ahhhhh....learn to code.
The grift is ending.
In other words, government hires are disproportionally Black.
Exactly, they had or have jobs with no purpose.
Izz waciss ta cut da budget!
They hire and manage the white contractors that do all the work.
Just like the rest, they’re only rich because of graft.
In a few years, those neighborhoods will become just like Detroit.
Graffiti, crime and prostitution will be it’s namesake, like all other urban ghettos. /spit
In other words, whether you have a “job” or not, the Federal government is just a source of entitlements...
Can’t argue with the logic. We need to keep spending because we are employing black people.
Waldorf MD is a crime ridden shxthole. It’s now DC’s suburb with all the drugs crime etc and can guess who’s doing the crime.
100%
Charles County used to be a nice place to live.
No more.
Without reading a word beyond the headline I’ll go with....
Alex, I’ll take for $1000 who are the blood sucking DEI hires making six figures a year working for the Fed. Gubermint on the back of taxpayers.
How did I do?
That sinking feeling you get when your grift gov job is ending and you realize that there are no more manufacturing jobs to be had in the USA....
It seems like the people who hate everything Trump is doing are the one’s who were making money off of the American government.
More Pothead News. Has this been Fact Checked yet?

GOOD
the only downside to that is the leftie feds will live longer before they meet their maker and collect their due reward.
Waldorf has a shell of a mall now, not safe for people who lack color. Waldorf is now a just a rich ghetto.
