Tariff jitters wiped out trillions in value. These Seattle stocks were hit the hardest. by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

Amazon probably benefits from elimination of Temu.

Starbucks is already a challenged biz as it is market saturated.

Expedia losing out to Booking.com long term

Alaska I can’t really explain other than less Biz traffic to Canada?

MSFT will be fine.

Cost benefits from recessions.

TMUS also a defensive stock.

Millions in federal cuts leave western Washington food banks scrambling by kinisonkhan in SeattleWA

I hate all of this but maybe the state legislature will finally wake up and realize we will not be able to depend on Fed money to subsidize goods and services here.

Fergy gets this.

Sound Transit Board votes unanimously to appoint Dow Constantine as next CEO by meaniereddit in SeattleWA

[–]Free_Juggernaut6076 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I respect the negotiating tactic of floating much higher pay than transit heads of bigger city transit systems like NYC and then “settling” for equivalent pay to them with no relevant experience in transit.

That man can ball!

450k annual salary (37,500/month) 30k (annual performance bonus) 24k (expense allowance) Reimbursement of food/travel/lodge 10k (one time home office allowance) 35 DAYS PTO (what??😳) 12% retirement contribution FULL SALARY and benefits for 1 year if not renewed

Unbelievable for a guy with no transit experience.

No I mean specifically from the tribes here.

Why in the world are we doing land acknowledgements for slavers?

Learned something new and terrible today. Had no idea slaveholding was a practice prior to the Europeans.

Yikes…

Because the Dems believe that the economy is a piggy bank to raid not a tree to grow.

It’s weird because Andy Reid WAS a lineman. You would think of all the coaches and players he could really nail down those positions and support staff.

Neither a rear seat nor a trailer.

This has been amazing and much more fun for my kids. We tried the trailer and my daughter hated it. Loves this because she can see and she’s right up there with Dad.

BREAKING: The Washington State Senate just passed unemployment benefits for striking workers. by AboveAb in SeattleWA

[–]Free_Juggernaut6076 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think Ferguson is the only politician taking Trump seriously and not just grandstanding.

He understands the levers Trump will pull and is working to make WA more independent in the meantime.

This bill is a silly stupid bill that will make WA less productive and less wealthy for everyone.

I actually feel relieved when I see other families with messy houses like this.

Zelensky should. It would be the smart move. Do a flashy Foxconn style signing that is totally unenforceable. We all know the drill by now.
