"Voting Democrat was the real plague all along!"

WASHINGTON – It’s evening rush hour in the nation’s capital, and the McPherson Square Metro station on a September Tuesday is all but empty. Thousands once squeezed at this time onto the trains departing from the heart of downtown Washington, two blocks north of the White House. Now, the descending escalator steps carry only the shards of a broken bottle of Power Malt.
Above ground the scene is no less eerie: No honking horns or screams from sprinting commuters trying to flag down the Circulator bus. In what seven months ago would have seemed a suspension of the laws of physics and urban planning, jaywalking is possible at the corner of New York Avenue and 15th Street Northwest.
fear is rising that a long-term collapse of downtown economies could soon become irreversible.
In downtown Washington, formerly a textbook case of a reborn city center, the coronavirus has flatlined almost every measure of vitality. About 95 percent of downtown’s 167,000 office workers – a mix of federal employees, lawyers, lobbyists, consultants, advocates and journalists – were working from home this summer, according to a recent report from the DowntownDC Business Improvement District.
The neighborhood’s overall economic activity was less than 13 percent of what it was a year earlier. Hotels were only 8 percent full. About 1,000 people would enter the McPherson Square Metro station throughout the Tuesday after Labor Day, compared with 15,000 on a weekday before the pandemic.

the rioters most likely killed DC. who wants to go to walk around and sightsee if you will get accosted by wild beasts?
On the bright side, a d.c. empty of citizens will be difficult to legislate for statehood.
= = = = = = = = = =
NOTICE....the ONLY time it comes up is when the D’s only hold ONE or none of the 3 ‘power slots’
Clinton & BO had their opportunities but, like the homeless, it is never a ‘real serious’ point other than to embarrass Rs
Look at the number of restaurants that have gone under. Most of the small businesses and shops in the downtowns near me are empty.
I’ve had occasion to visit a couple of fair sized cities (300-500k people) ove the past few months. I never cease to be amazed at how empty they are. Several places, you could walk down the middle of Main St in the evening....it’s bizarre.
Meanwhile, real estate outside the cities is through the roof. My neighborhood has increased in value by 40%!in the past few months, and homes are selling overnight.
But DC is a Utopian bastien of Democrat Policies

Yes and DC and ALL the D ‘strongholds’ with especially ‘the neighborHOODs’ should be showcased for ALL to see with comparison pictures.
As I like to ask my ‘favorite question’
Which is worse get an A bomb dropped on you or 50 years of D ‘rule’?
Then break out the before (1945-1965-2020) and after pics of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Detroit and certain ‘NON-elite’ neighborhoods of the D run cities
Amazing how Government Workers can afford the high Housing Costs living near D.C. and go out to party with their Coworkers at expensive Bars and Restaurants when they get off work.
Remember the Propaganda we used to hear about those poor Government Workers sacrificing because they could make a lot more money in the Private Sector?
I don’t call them Public Servants for a reason. Members of the Military are the only true Public Servants, especially the ones doing the fighting.
After all, they don’t have a crooked Government Employee Union backing them up.
What political party does the current mayor of DC belong to?
Every Federal Government agency is different. Yours might be serious and on the ball while others are doing the bare minimum while sitting at home. Workers at the EEOC..... how much work are they doing at home? My guess minimal.
And for the goof offs they have two laptops on their desk. The Government issued work one and the goof off one used for porn, Amazon shopping, ebay, Facebook. Instagram and so on
Six of the top 10 wealthiest counties in the US are in the DC suburbs due the Federal government sucking the wealth out of the rest of the country.
1. Loudoun County, Virginia
2. Fairfax County, Virginia
3. Howard County, Maryland
4. Falls Church city, Virginia
5. Arlington County, Virginia
6. Douglas County, Colorado
7. Hunterdon County, New Jersey
8. Los Alamos County, New Mexico
9. Morris County, New Jersey
10. Fairfax city, Virginia
"Voting Democrat was the real plague all along!"
The shack next door to me here around 15 miles from boston that was recently “refurbished” by We Buy Ugly Houses just sold for 580,000.00 bucks to a very young couple with two new cars who don’t seem to work.
Maybe they are working at home i dunno...
At that price my semi-shack must be worth 700 grand or so.
Now i gotta find a great place to move to in the next few years...
Plow it under.
But as others have noted, this fraud is/was/is substantially driven by an old dystopian fool with an axe to grind against a US populace that gave Ronaldus Magnus a sweeping 2nd-term victory -- meaning, everyone -- when in Fauci's eyes, Rex Magnus was directly responsible for AIDS, which killed at least 5x the number of COVIDs nationally, and probably x³ internationally.
So, you rotten old douchebag, you'll never get COVID to catch up to your precious fags. And no one will ever bestow "Fauci the Great" or any other honorariums, except maybe one: "Mala Fides!"
I am enjoying the heck out of working from home and I hope to continue for the rest of my career
Ten years ago the son of a friend got his masters in, er, forensic accounting, and went to work for the IRS in DC. His new job was to audit the finances of IRS offices around the country.
He said that from his very first day, he saw many of the people in his office sleeping on the job.....and sleep was the most productive thing some of them did.
I don’t imagine things have improved since then.

Better yet, break out the pictures of Guangdong podunk villages in 2008 and compare them to gleaming skyscrapered metropolitan cities in 2016! Zhejiang! Shandong! ALL UNDER BIDEN! Call out this rat bastard - it's not hard, the freaking red Guardian has run all kinds of stories making the comparison, bragging about how dumb we were under BOBO!
That freak Biden wants to brag about Scranton?? How about Trump burning him with the fact that Scranton suffered tremendously under Bobo-Biden! While a nickel of every American consumer dime was pumped straight to Red FREAKING China to enrich his rotten damnable son!!
Crazy. More than 99% survive. The jig is up. They need to get real.
“Remember the Propaganda we used to hear about those poor Government Workers sacrificing because they could make a lot more money in the Private Sector?”
It is propoganda and they truly believe it. They all think that with their ability and skills they’d be pulling down 200K in the outside world.
But they never leave. Any government worker over 50 will know to the day when they are going to retire.
Devastation means damage, it carries no weight describing empty, not populated, not teeming with activity!@
Maybe they ought to do a protest march about this.
