My hot take, the PNW is better than non-PNW sections of the US because we didn't vote for Trump, thus proving our moral and intellectual superiority for all time fart

my district voted 89% for hillary! and only 52% for coal tax :negative:

The Republican sabotage campaign against ST3 continues and I loving hate these people more each day:

Reminder: if this actually gets turned into law, you'll be doing per-district (not per capita or anything like it) voting for non-partisan board members who cannot be elected officials and yet still are only granted a $10k stipend. Ensuring the board is dominated by rich fuckwads from Puyallup and their ilk.

republican senate, democratic house, right? doesn't seem likely that this'll pass muster there.

and isn't there a senate vacancy that could result in a tie that favors democrats after the special election this year? that's something to look forward to fighting for, at least

edit: guess not, bummer. i did learn we have a democrat that caucuses with the republicans, though. good poo poo :toughguy:

it is more appropriate for a police officer to take injury in the process of deescalating a situation than it is for one to commit murder in response to any potential threat. police should serve the public, not the other way around

500+ is still going to cover a fuckload of people and I feel like they are likely the worst abusers of it. Enforcement will probably be lacking.

you're wrong about that middle bit, there. the Small Business Owners that politicians love to fawn over are some of the worst scumbags on earth. they're all galt wannabes who think violating labor rights is the only way to get by in business.

think about uber for a second, and now imagine a CEO with travis kalanick's contempt for regulation combined with the bitterness of being unable to cop it on a national level, and you have the average small business owner

i think if that negative seattle minimum wage study ever does make it through peer review it will serve as a good indicator that more needs to be done to help workers. abolishing the sales tax and taxing high income brackets to compensate would be a good start

Jenny Durkan is cruising to win the primary :sigh: Cary Moon is in 2nd, and Oliver is in a close 3rd. Late ballots could tip in Oliver's favor.

Not sure if Moon or Oliver has the firepower to beat Durkan.

i'll be happy to have an actual progressive with ideals i support on the ballot in november. electability is a fake idea

Certainly not any of these "journalists" who feel the need need to keep doing biographies and interviews of avowed nazis.

i don't think an article like this serves as the kind of publicity nazis want. i do have a problem with the kind of journalism like what comes from the new york times that carefully avoids any sort of moral judgment. this one doesn't shy away from how awful, but also unbearably tedious modern nazis are, though

Look man, if you honestly believe that racism is a unique problem within the tech industry that doesn't exist elsewhere then come out and say it.

you're the one who whined about the article being too mean to tech workers in the first place. when people roll their eyes at you, they're rolling their eyes at your immediate impulsive desire to defend a multibillion dollar industry

does washington's impending triumvirate government control actually make things like income tax possible, or will that still need ballot initiatives that will inevitably be torpedoed by outraged liberal tech startup employees

iirc liberal states usually have worse overall crime stats because they actually track sexual assault statistics instead of chalking all of them up to hysteria

Katie Herzog is right in saying he's not a pedophile. The proper label based on the ages I've seen mentioned is either ephebephile or hebephile.
