Seattle Drawing Closer to #Defund

It looks like the big vote could occur on Monday after the proposals were submitted today. 7/9 council members support defunding, which is veto-proof, but, agitators have been dutifully harassing the two non-retards. I am extremely optimistic here, even if it stops at 50% and doesn't turn into complete abolition.

Seattle was a pretty awesome city once but that is all gone now.

There has in the last eight years or so been a certain kind of stupid running this city, that so many of its young tech citizens have had their minds warped at failed universities but are none the less sure that they are some of the bestest humans to ever walk the Earth is at root the whole problem.






SAD
 
I recently was talking to a older Seattle lawyer....he has spent his entire life in Seattle and his dad spent most of his there too....He cant believe this calamity.....this is in many ways worse than when Boeing almost died and Seattle with it....at least that was not driven by a revolution built on the back of lies.....and least then people were not in fear of their lives for saying the wrong thing, or daring to walk down the wrong street at the wrong time with the wrong genetics.

BTW: Boeing HQ is in Chicago now, a lot of their production is not done here now, and they are circling the drain again and again it's because its management is crap.

What a disaster.

I fixed the Times link. Attempted to remove the Google search from the address for aesthetics the first time, but, it didn't work.

I included the blog because it allows for people reading this thread to get a feeling of the pulse from a locality. I figured you would like that better than me simply linking to an article I saw on Townhall. The blog actually has some good stuff on it that I was too lazy to read.

I'm probably going to keep away from city limits. This means I will have to go around it by taking I-405 whenever I want to go north. Next time I visit my parents, NE of the city, I will take 405 to Bothell, and then cut back their way on SR-522.

Thanks. I might address it later. Right now I cannot. *wink* *wink*

One thing I read in the last link is that it says they're cutting the police dept budget in half. Need more info on that.

Well that seems extreme but my days of going up there for restaurants bars theater and sports are over.

I used to spend a lot of time and money there, but that is all over.

Yeah, to your earlier point, I was sad to see Boeing HQ go to friggin' Chicago nearly 20 years ago. They really screwed themselves with their poor response to the Max 8 debacle.

Actually the decline of Boeing matches well with move of the HQ....though the smart money says that the hugest mistake was buying McDonald Douglas.

Almost no one understands how close to bankrupt Boeing is now.

The entire board has to go.

Well, I think Airbus started getting really competitive at the same time. I flew 747s to Orlando and back in March of 2000, and, my understanding is that airlines reserve them for international travel these days.

Passenger 747 are all gone.

What happened at Boeing is that the culture got rotted out, which happened because the culture at MD was deeply rotten by the time they combined.....Boeing was infected by MD....and Boeing board/management/stockholders are responsible for that happening....along with a whole boat load of other bad ideas.
 
Having obviously drugged up crazy people coming right up into my grill yelling obscenities cant happen very many times before I am done.

I was mostly done before the pandemic, now after CHAZ/CHOP I am all the way done.

If I want to do Mad Max one of the movies will be fine.

Damn, those were probably the best flight experiences I've ever had.

One disappointing experience for me is that my best friend's dad worked at Boeing as a millwright from 1978-2005. My best friend completed his mechanical engineering degree (he had compiled a solid resume while working on it) in 2011 and moved back out here (his family is from Milwaukee) to Everett and started a job there in September. One year later he was laid off and moved to Kent with a new company. Like virtually everyone these days, he was merely a contractor, and not a direct employee. That one year filled him with some hilarious, albeit cynical stories. He couldn't believe the amounts of fraud/waste/abuse committed by those above and around him.

It will shock you not at all that now that they are all gone lots of people are writing love letters to the 747....saying that it was the best flight experience that ever has been besides perhaps the Concord if you happen to be into that sort of thing.

The only time I was on a 747 was on bankrupt Pan Am, with two small kids, coming back from Germany....I am not the person to ask.

Things were always bad with the mishandling of the homeless problem, the Council's/Sawant's war on industry, and so forth. But, the current situation has allowed things to really go to hell fast. I remember thinking the head tax would achieve this, before the council wimped-out and repealed it.
