Why Tomorrow’s Plans Are Already Falling Apart
For years, Maryland sold the illusion of prosperity—a haven for federal jobs, high salaries, and proximity to D.C. prestige. But those days are numbered, and anyone still making long-term plans under yesterday’s assumptions is setting themselves and their families up for disaster.
Let’s call it what it is: the state is broke.
And when governments get broke, they get desperate. And desperate governments always start with two moves—cut services and raise taxes. Maryland is doing both.
The $2.3 Billion Cut That Changes Everything
They say they’re protecting healthcare, transportation, and education, but let’s be real—when $2.3 billion gets yanked out of the system, every corner of life starts to feel it. From smaller classrooms and longer ER wait times to potholes that never get filled and public programs quietly vanishing, this is just the start.
Add to that the chaos out of Washington, where entire federal agencies like USAID and the Department of Education are getting gutted—and guess which state is most exposed to that fallout? The one that built its economy around government contracts, federal employment, and entitlement.
The New Taxes You Didn’t Vote For
Maryland’s answer to their financial black hole?
Tax everything you use daily.
- 3% IT tax on cloud services, streaming platforms, and SaaS tools—because apparently being productive and entertained is now a luxury.
- Higher vehicle registration fees—because you still have to get to work.
- More expensive state parks—because even your weekend peace has a price tag now.
- Rising professional licensing fees—because being a nurse, electrician, or architect apparently isn’t expensive enough.
Let’s be honest: everything is going up but your income.
Cause → Effect → Collapse
What happens next is a predictable cycle.
Businesses leave.
Jobs vanish.
The people left behind shoulder more of the burden.
And that “soft landing” the government keeps whispering about? That’s code for: You’re going to suffer, but we’re trying to keep the pitchforks in the shed.
This isn’t speculation.
This is math.
As federal support dries up and state budgets implode, Maryland becomes the last place a sane business wants to grow. And if your income, your investments, or your quality of life is still tied to this sinking ship—you’re running out of time to change that.
We Built for This Storm
While most people were busy planning brunches and streaming their lives away, we were building a war chest.
GLion Trades was created for moments like this—when the house of cards collapses, and the only thing left standing is demand. Real, global, essential demand for commodities that every human needs to survive.
We don’t make predictions.
We read the weather.
And in case no one told you—the clouds are already here.
Not everyone will make it through this storm.
But for those who see what’s coming—
we built a way out.
