All those numbers are poo poo and you are all poo poo if you take any of them as being serious. They will be used as convenient talking points by idiots for the next 2 months because they appear to be on reputable letter head.

In antifa/gently caress snitches news: http://www.wweek.com/news/2017/12/26/what-its-like-to-betray-antifa-to-the-cops-and-get-caught/ What the article fails to mention is that Tan's roommate was a woman named Kelly that would also show up to antifa demos but was/is dating David Fry of Patriot Prayer's motorcycle club fame, and Tan freaked at people for wanting to bar Kelly from events. Tan playing at being a spy for the cops was not a surprise to anyone. The article also doesn't act like RCA gave a response, which it did. Kind of paints things in a different light.

I'm perfectly satisfied with the soda tax, as long as they would expand it to sugary drinks like Jamba Juice and Starbucks. Fair is fair.

Happy Minimum Wage Increase Day, washington state! 50 cents an hour is more than what I would've gotten from my yearly performance review. I gotta hand it to all the scummy small business owners (mostly espresso stands) who have no problem howling about the minimum causing a price increase, but stayed as silent as a sheep when it came to all those other price increases. Transparency only when it suits their interests.

It doesn't require an earthquake to spill a billion gallons of oil into the water and ruin fisheries and our pristine coastline. But yeah, it's extra dumb in a long line of super dumb poo poo. It's a question of when, not if. It is not backed by any policy other than rich people robbing society.

But yeah, it's extra dumb in a long line of super dumb poo poo. Aren't the salmon runs on the Columbia at record lows? Yet, still no morotorium on fishing. (God forbid we go shoot some of those stupid seals and sea lions that eat tons of salmon by the dams.) Wild salmon running low? Better go crank knob for the bred ones up to 11. Farming salmon? gently caress, we can make a crap load of cash on that.... (Oh they escaped? Well its okay....) In other (non-Seattle/Portland) news, has there been any updates on the Hirst supreme court case? I heard on the radio that the legislature was getting funding for infrastructure projects held hostage, due to the GOP constitutency wanting a fix to Hirst. However, I thought I had read something that one of the counties had already adapted some kind of fix. (Something to do with paying additional taxes and connection fees on new wells or something... Maybe it was just a proposal. But the fees they were proposing sounded hefty, couple hundred dollars of tax per year and an additional one to two thousand dollar 'fee' up front.)

Sure in a capitalist economy pretty much everything rises in price as time goes on but in this case it's because you demanded a living wage! Maybe we could just start pulling the wealthy from their homes and lighting them on fire in the streets? I dunno just spitballin' here.

What frustrates me is the outsized importance people place on wages as a driver of total cost. Yes, it increases marginal cost per unit but in a food establishment it is at most 30% of cost. The lease on a store in Seattle had to exceed labor cost. Increasing cost of labor will obviously eventually lead to price increases unless something else changes things to increase productivity (happens a lot) but it isn't like if wages go up by 10% then so does cost and therefore prices. And drat near everyone seems to think that is how it works.
