The Tragedy of Seattle
And now, with homelessness being encouraged, criminal activity being made legal, police budget going to be cut by 50%, police officers being demonized, and the Seattle City Council has just passed a tax law that will impose $200 million of extra taxes on big Seattle businesses during a deep recession -- which will drive many of the business to leave the area.
Seattle is going to turn into Cleveland or Newark. And there will be no bounce back. No business person in their right mind will want to invest in the area.
And Seattleites are sitting by and letting it happen.
And this doensn't take into account how Inslee is fucking over the state as a whole.

This is the most incredible part.DerekJohnson said:Swaye and I were talking a few weeks ago and he mentioned how in the 1990s, Seattle was one of the greatest places on earth. I've been thinking a lot about that comment.

WTF is wrong with 'you people'? Are you fucking pussies with no spine to stand up for what you believe in?
You're about 2 years away from being Charlton Heston in The Omega Man - locked inside your fortified home, carrying on conversation with some inanimate object, hoping to fuck the zombies don't stage an attack on your home. Or perhaps you simply don't give a fuck because you've Ka-Chinged on a stock option bonanza at some point in your pathetic life and think you can simply pick up and bail to Bend, OR and fuck that place up too with your indifference?
Guess what? At some point, nobody is going to want to buy your shitty 1800 square foot house for $2.5 Million.

They are killing the golden goose. Seattle in the 90s was perfect. Liberal sure, but lots of TUFF logger types, not these pussy SJW progressive weenies. The fall for Seattle has been swift and profound. From my favorite city pretty much ever, to one of the worst, all in a generation.

Moved away in 2017. Been back a couple times and it seemed like the homeless situation continues to get worse despite all the money getting thrown at it. It's almost like there's some connection between opioid abuse, homelessness, and crime but I just can't figure out what that connection might be.Swaye said:They are killing the golden goose.

Like @whatshouldicareabout, I also blame the Californians. -

Dealers get theirs, kickbacks to the politicians, save-the-downtrodden-pseudo-charities and bureaucrats gets theirs.
Homelessness is it's own economy.
