I'm gonna go with lobbyists, moneymen, and other Beltway grifters that aren't legit government officials.

Just goes to show you how wealthy the handful of wealthy people in MD are that they can overshadow the enormous amount of abject poverty in the state.

That's a very large part of MD's economic "stability."

Actually, if you look at the industries within Maryland there are many high paying fields beyond the engineering, scientific and mathematical employed by the numerous DoD facilities.

Because there are more government contractors, military contractors, lobbyists lawyers and piece of **** politicians, per capita, than any decent state should have.


All that tax money rolling in, and still the Thomas Johnson bridge is a good gust of wind away from falling into the Patuxent, Waldorf is a crime ridden pit, with roads that have crater-size potholes and students coming out of school drooling and saying "DUUUUUUHHHHH"


God, I hate this place.

Number 1 in median income. Number 10 in school ranking. Wonder where all that tax and casino money really goes?

Median Household Income.

From a Waldorf perspective, If you typically have 4 families living in one house that's $24k per family.

That's probably about the state welfare payment amount.

I think I need to look at the possibility that pay cuts could flatten that curve.

I'm willing to take my generous severance package now so you can hire cheaper employees.

Oh wait... you've already spent that on auction junk.

Looks like you might need another time out and a counseling session with HR, there mister...

For your consideration ...

LOL. One of our favorite boatbuilding customers built custom yachts...all composite structures. Tons and tons of hand finishing work to build one of those. He had t-shirts made for his employees: The Grinding Will Continue Until Morale Improves.

I thought a "severance package" is a surgical procedure for guys that don't want to be guys any more. Not that I'm judging or anything....
