The Throbber was passed out in a vodka induced coma.

Worth 90 minutes?

Not sure 90 minutes of shit hole pics are worth the watch but am willing to invest the time. Seattle is Dying was well done but obviously that has done shit to improve the situation.

    As someone once said, "Decline is a choice". Seattle has chosen poorly. Along with half the US.

    Progressives smugly think their policies are making things better.

    I’m told people on the west coast are smarter than everyone else

    I'm told that as a result of the leftard leadership in San Francisco resulting in a leftist utopia that property and car insurance rates are plummeting. Decline is a choice. SF has chosen poorly.

    While SF is in decline they have produced a surprisingly large number of popular politicians, it’s weird like that

    Oracle, Tesla, and HP are moving their HQ out of California. Also very strange.

    It's like Intel in California. There isn't one Intel fab facility left in California and there will never be another built. Manufacturing requires energy which is super expensive in Cali and an educated workforce. The bulk of the labor doesn't require a college degree. The labor force also needs to have someplace to live and they are priced out of decent housing in most of Cali. Toss in the labor regulations and high taxes and every other place looks better. A real high crime and homeless rate isn't a big sell either. Go figure.

    It was actually a pretty good show. Damning to the nth degree to local politicians in Seattle. You can tell they worked very hard on this piece - it was really well put together. Odd for the network ( KOMO ) to air it at a time virtually nobody would see it....or not.

    Worth watching.

    The question is why do the voters keep voting these fucktards in?

    Unless the voters self-identify as fucktard too

    We have a winner.

    They want to spread the word about how well Californicate has done with the economy, thus this is the best and fastest way to spread the progressive way of life. Move to a red state and vote blue

    It’s a must watch

    Really exposes the hypocrisy and corruption in Seattle and how few are really interested in real solutions

    Eric Johnson must be nearing retirement. Between this and Seattle is Dying, he's got to be a marked man in that town.

    Have partied with him a bit many moons ago. Good guy for a Cuog.

    We need more people out there doing their job and calling it like it is

    As I was watching I was immediately thinking at what point is he going to run for office?

    I don't remember Intel having a fab in California but they have several engineering groups that are active in California. It's where the smart people live(besides Bob).

    The fact that you don't recall isn't surprising given your PhD in ignorance, dodo. The point was that the non-college fab jobs left Cali because you leftards care about the little people.

    Fab 3 North Mines Road, Livermore, California, USA 1972 1991 Plant began making wafers in April 1973. First plant outside of the Santa Clara area, and is where the famous Bunny Suits were first introduced.[7]
    Fab 4 Aloha, Oregon, USA 1976 1996 (decommissioned)
    2016 (demolished) First wafer manufacturing plant outside of Silicon Valley and first facility in what is now known as Oregon's Silicon Forest. Production began for 3-inch wafers.[8]
    Fab 5 / D1 Aloha, Oregon, USA Previously a development facility, then production facility. Currently inactive.[9]
    Fab 6 Chandler, Arizona, USA 1980 2000 First silicon wafer manufacturing facility in Arizona. Key architecture was the 286 microprocessor.

    2005 (converted to test facility) Production focused on flash memory chips. By the time production stopped, plant was producing 0.35 micron-6 inch wafers. In 2005, $105 million was invested to temporarily turn Fab 7 into a testing facility.[10]
    Fab 8 Jerusalem, Israel 1985 2008
    2009 (converted to die prep facility) First Fab outside of the United States. Ended production with, what was at the time, the last 6-inch wafer fab. Building was converted into die prep facility to support nearby Fab 28.[11]

    Fab 17 Hudson, Massachusetts, USA 1998 (acquired from DEC) 2014 Facility used older technology and closed (along with Fab 11X) because site was not large enough to accommodate a leading-edge fab. Made specialty products on the trailing edge of chip technology, and was last to make chips on 200-millimeter silicon wafers.[16]
    Fab 20 / D1B Hillsboro, Oregon, USA
    Fab 23 Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA 2000 (acquired from Rockwell) 2007 Site originally purchased from Rockwell, but due to lack of demand and for financial reasons, Intel put it up for sale in 2007. It eventually sold in 2011 to the El Paso County government, who repurposed the offices.[17]
