A few years ago, I was eating breakfast in a DC hotel listening to two men talk about their schedule for the day. Their business was decorating homes for Christmas, and they were discussing their heavy workload.
As I listened quietly the men were describing premium rates for DC families who wanted their decorating services completed fastest. The average rate was $15,000 per residence for 30-day interior holiday decorating, and the rates went up from there. They were overwhelmed with business calls.
I sat there stunned doing spit-takes with my coffee while thinking, “holy cow, who has that kind of money to blow, just renting Holiday decorations?” One of the client names was familiar, Kellyanne Conway. “Jumpin’ ju-ju bones, this is an actual thing they do up here,” I thought. My mind was blown, but this put context to the economic bubble that isolated DC from the rest of ‘real’ America.
Yesterday, I read a New York Times column describing how the professional political employees and their families have been impacted by President Trump and the downsizing of the federal workforce.
Amid the tear-filled typeset meant to generate sympathy this part jumped out at me: “The District of Columbia currently has the highest unemployment rate in the nation, at 6.7 percent, in large part because of major reductions in the federal work force, including U.S.A.I.D., and cuts to government grants and contracts.”

About how DC never felt the economic pain their policies inflicted?
Well the gravy train's over!
Wonderful News!!!
We’d all be better off if DC unemployment was 100%
The grifters in the District of Corruption of course.
But they are the bass turd socialists who don’t want to work. The Gimme Gimmes. The District of Corruption is made up of slobs who prefer to not work and spend their daze hunting for freebies and handouts.
6.9%? That’s kinda funny since they voted for Biden and Kamala at about 95%
Learn to code bureaucrats.
So, we are still paying them?
Yup. Fire another 100,000 lazy, incompetent, blood-sucking criminals.
I guess I can understand that. There are a limited number of opportunities at that Starbucks near the Capital.
Good.
When it hits 70% the rest of the country will be safe.
It’s over for a very small percentage of people in DC. The rest are doing very well.
Gummit workers that were fired by DOGE that have 0 skills and 0 work ethic? I’m just guessing of course
That is what I am seeing as well.
