And Boeing and Microsoft and Starbucks, and a lot of businesses that are successful but not household names.
Remember, communism is crazy talk and nobody wants your guns....especially since communism is “crazy talk”.
The Marxists simply refuse to heed the lessons of history. This sort of thing has one result - and one only - it drives away business, killing the golden goose.
To pay for the large homeless population in Seattle, the city council is going to tax corporations, causing them to lay off additional employees, which will increase the number of homeless.
Brilliant strategy
One of the smartest Indian software engineers I’ve ever known recently quit where I work and left for Seattle, no job, nothing. She did it because “I may never get the chance to do it again.” Rent is insane out there and things are getting slowly worse. But whatever. Price you pay for being a libtard.
Bezos is probably working on a plan to hire headless employees - he’s a very smart guy.
Lowball ‘em to get the bid.
Then, kill them with the extras and add-ons.
What does anyone expect? marxists want the collectivity to own ALL the means of production, and hate it when someone dares to own a business. They can’t confiscate the businesses, just yet, so they tax the hell out of them.
Small business is the one that’s going to suffer.
Boeing isn’t going to sit still for this, and they’ve been quiet about it.
I’d buy real estate in South Carolina. The home prices there are going to go up considerably.
Boeing has been getting ready for this. You talk to floor guys and now the tooling is all coming in custom cases with rollers - obviously designed for fast transport.
Management has been bringing in more robotics, and the floor guys have been red-lining the contractors there to slow things down. Break staggering of key people, etc.
I’ve been telling people for a long time that Western WA is the bluest area of the nation, by a long shot. Bluer even than CA. (or Red if Red means commie)
Bellevue, across the lake from Seattle, isn’t that stupid. They have been anticipating the Full Fascist F***tard and are actively offering to move these guys immediately. Renton, Kirkland, Tacoma, and others same.
Nine to zero.

I wonder if Seattle offered significant tax breaks to these large companies to get them to come there in the first place. If so, the Seattle powers that be have only themselves to blame for the pickle they are in now.
