Political? Not really. But it sure feels like a huge lack of precision. We're well past the point of using a blunt instrument to tackle this thing. Some areas are safer than others. Let them open, and if things go to shit then you at least get some data out of the ordeal.TurdBomber said:Yet bike stores are essential. To get us to and from nowhere since our jobs are frozen.

Nice to eat in a restaurant today! I'm still alive! Amazing isn't it?

Here in Big Sky Country, nobody is even talking about the DemPanic, er, pandemic. I didn’t realize how big of pussies we are on the Pacific Coast until recently. -

What are they going to do? Other than reopen businesses and send angry emails there’s nothing Spokane can do to InsleePurpleThrobber said:

Google some Ozzie videos. The guy is extremely articulate, takes a common sense approach to problem solving and doesn’t tolerate bullshit from either end of the political. He will become a thorn in Inslee’s side and guaranteed his message will resonate.GreenRiverGatorz said:

Presumably he is looking to run for a different elected office at some point in the future. Inslee better hope it’s not governor because Ozzie would wipe the floor with him. Odds are he is angling for a run at Senate or Congress.
Think Trump’s will and giving no fucks but highly intelligent and direct with tact. -

It’s absolutely political in WA, OR and CA.
Unfortunately Trump is playing politics too by bleeding them out. He’ll swoop in with federal money and the DOJ and troops (if necessary because that scary WSP has been deployed)

To elaborate with a few examples. First, the well-documented fact that Inslee voters in KingCo are largely satisfied. Second, residential building was original prohibited in the first re-open. Then, after their trade group stepped in, they were allowed (how that word offends me) to resume a few days later. I don't think science changed much in two days. Thirdly, the legal logging of restaurant patrons was rescinded a day after the ACLU objected (finally you pricks). Keep in mind both those measures came after several weeks of what we were told was careful planning, and both were reversed after a unified voice with political clout objected.GrundleStiltzkin said:

It’s not political as much as politicians being chicken shits. It’s all about deniability. If the economy tanks, they can blame the virus. If they open it up, and a larger wave hits (not likely at all) they will have to answer questions. They know they have an out for this economic drop, but they take the blunt of the damage if the 1/1000 happens if they reopen. They know they are fucking up the economy, but they are more concerned about their pocket book than anybody else.GreenRiverGatorz said:

Inslee’s voters crave political correctness, social justice, and a government-funded safety net, just in case it turns out they aren’t as special as their parents always told them they were.
That’s what he, and the Seattle leadership deliver, and, for the time being, that’s the majority of the Washington electorate. He’ll be re-elected in a landslide.
