Washington DC is the real world manifestation of the "Hunger Games" District One, populated by the ruling class and its parasitic servants. Has nothing to do with the rest of America. Damn near all paychecks come directly or second hand from Uncle Sugar. I grew up in DC before JFK and LBJ inflated the Federal government when there were still remnants of WWII Quonset huts on the mall and redbrick townhouses with peach trees in the front yards could be encountered on K Street instead of row upon row of Lobbyist lawyer office buildings. Emptying that permanenly would be a good start to restoration of the Republic.
The coronavirus did not “flatten” anything. The leftist GLobalist Mayor did.
Living out life here in District 12.
