Excellent in-depth article that goes straight into the heart of it, revealing the comorbidity of issues. Striking.

With nearly 30,000 workers, the federal #government is the largest employer in the region. One longtime #KansasCity
economic researcher said he believes the region could lose 6,000 good-paying federal #jobs, which in turn would wipe out thousands of others in service industries.

DOGE's cuts tear through Kansas City, Missouri, a federal worker hub
The Kansas City, Missouri, metropolitan area has long been a regional hub for the federal government, and the pain from the Trump administration's cuts can be seen everywhere. Thousands of federal workers fear they'll lose their jobs. Some have been let go. Many are considering early retirement or buyouts. One researcher expects the region could lose as many as 6,000 good-paying federal jobs, which in turn would eliminate thousands more in other industries. Cuts to food aid programs have affected a farmers market and food pantry in a low-income neighborhood. And the city has paused plan to upgrade its public health laboratory after federal grants were abruptly canceled.

They suggested a place to meet. To the untrained eye it looked closed, neglected, abandoned. But through that black gate, beyond the dark passage, there's a door.
You wouldn't believe what was on the other side.

Last week on my way to Augsburg, my train passed through my hometown
#Dessau. This is part of its railway station. There was a legendary club/live music venue in one of these buildings, but it closed in 2017. It always makes me sad when I drive by the club's logo (which will happen again on Friday when we visit the fam for Easter). 🥲

It appears to be covered with peeling paint and has a wire mesh or grid in front of it. The window has horizontal blinds, partially closed, and the overall vibe suggests an old or deteriorated structure.
