I see squads of those stupid goons (namaste) daily at the RapidRide stop a block from my house. One of these days when I have the time (and free time off) I'm gonna ride that line all day with a pocket full of singles to pay fares as they find evaders. I'll probably never have the time to do it but a person can dream.

You could buy a bunch of transfer tickets and when you see them hassling the person you could interject with an "excuse me, i think I saw you drop this transfer slip when you got on?"

The county next to mine just passed a thing banning any fees for opting out of smart meter installation from Pacific Power. Mine is moving that way as well. Anywhere else having such severe wailing and gnashing of teeth over the things or are they just rolling them out here in particular right now? Personally I have one and I think they're great but I don't like letting a utility with a monopoly dictate to people about equipment on their own house so I'm pretty OK with PP having to eat their bullshit punitive fees. All the  about RADIATION is just stupid, though.

Being able to pull up usage stats down to the hourly level is pretty great. I can actually calculate how much various activities/devices cost me without buying a kill-a-watt or whatever.

I've had a couple breathless posts on my community fb group about it in Seattle. Most recently someone was asking if it could be why her wi-fi sucks lately but we had a couple previous posts about RADIATION with links straight to naturalnews.

Lmao Boeing is rolling out a new scheme for non-union folks where your monthly health insurance premium scales up as you make more money. If I wasn't in the union my monthly cost would go up over $200 starting next year.

The people who're actually, actively angry about those topics are a weird little subgroup that spans the spectrum. It appeals to both the full-hippy bodily autonomy crowd and the Ron Swanson-level no government ever crowd and you get people from anywhere in between. I get the vibe that most people don't give a poo poo what meter is on their house, but the people who show up to the council meetings are the angry ones.

Allegedly the union negotiated for King County based state workers to get a raise specifically to address the cost of living/working here. Is this what it feels like to have hope before it's inevitably brutally crushed? I've also gotten at least 3 texts and calls from people cold calling me to stump for Dino Rossi.

I voted Steve Hoffman in the senate race, because gently caress Maria Cantwell, and double-gently caress Susan Hutchison. Cantwell is gonna walk away with that one, though.

Maybe the Dems should work on improving their platform so people actually want to vote for them, or bettering voter access instead of blaming their constituents for low turnout? Just spitballing here.
