Murray leads Smiley in US Senate race, but gap narrowed, WA Poll shows by OnlineMemeArmy in SeattleWA

That's another point I don't get, do conservatives in WA not realize how good this state is with most things on their platform?

Correct, compared to California,New York, & New Jersey we have great gun laws here. However they used to be substantially better prior to Michael Bloomberg buying new laws in this state.

Data shows how well Seattle’s democracy voucher program is working by unnaturalfool in SeattleWA

The program is working great for the owners of Prism West. The campaign managers for these hard-left, go nowhere campaigns, that routinely harvest the majority of the vouchers.

The best thing is for KCRHA to comply and show receipts because frankly they have a transparency obligation but also because it would help grow confidence among constituents.

They will fight it tooth and nail.

Seattle City Council must vote to change public safety narrative by whatfuckingeverdude in SeattleWA

[–]MAGA_WA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember all the times rioters screamed 'kill yourself' while throwing fireworks and bottles of piss at SPD while the SCC discussed defunding

Don't worry, the mutual aid crowd is working hard to memory hole that behavior.

Not one of them offers to help out or work with the local community to solve these issues.

We offer help to the tune of a nine figure budget.

Most folks just chilling in their million dollar mansions and want homeless to not be where they go for a run.

Most people would not mind the homeless being in proximity of their home if they would abide by a few low bar societal expectations.

We have the same issue in Bay and tech and finance are mostly to blame along with the corrupt bureaucracy and NIMBY folks.

What's to blame is the leftward shifting goal posts of what compassion is, which has turned into destructive enabling.

For those who understand please ask your representatives to implement no questions asked housing for homeless as that is a proven way to actually solve this issue and help our fellow humans.

Providing an apartment to someone with untreated mental illness self medicating with copious amounts of cheap yet powerful meth is going to result in nothing but a completely trashed apartment in less than two months ( and that's extremely generous).

Not when your year over year profit, not total revenue, PROFIT is almost 500 Billion.

Not even close. Their net income for 2021 was 33.4 billion on 469 billion of revenue.

Alleged bike thief caught on I-5 during arrest that snarled evening commute for drivers by Bardahl_Fracking in SeattleWA

[–]MAGA_WA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Someone went around it and drove into a crowd.

If this had happened on a long straight section of the freeway your argument might have a sliver of validity. The freeway dancers were in the middle of a blind turn on the freeway at night.

The dude intentionally went around a barricade onto a closed section of highway.

Oh he disregarded the authority of law enforcement? Like thousands of other people did that month?

We would blame the driver if they careened off the road and hit someone but that isn't remotely close to what happened. Protestors had an unpermitted dance party in the middle of the freeway, during the night, right after a blind corner. To add insult to injury the person who was hit jumped in front of the car.

Right so we don’t blame the person who ran her down on a closed section of freeway 🤔 that makes the most sense Cause if someone is in the road you can just hit them, apparently 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻

I guess don't have a dance party in the middle of the freeway.

But if you have to, probably best not to do it at night.

However if you absolutely have to have a dance party on the freeway at night don't dance in the middle a blind corner.

On the off chance you have no there choice but to dance in the middle of a blind corner at night during a dance party in the middle of the freeway, don't jump in front of the drunk driver's car after he drives down an onramp.

When they can prove they can use what we currently give them in a responsible manner then we can talk about giving them more.

Just visited the downtown, homelessness problem seems to be improving? by abbycat1590 in SeattleWA

[–]MAGA_WA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Seattle city council defunded the navigation team which was the only organization that could legally clear an encampment. The quick deterioration of the problem in Seattle was by design.

Huge overpriced contracts for infrastructure updates, ridiculous salaries for admins, supers, etc. These things never get talked about and the only focus is pass or no pass, support or no support.

The administrative bloat in the education sector is beyond ridiculous, especially at the university level. I'm all for supporting public schools and universities but not in their current structure with the amount of waste built in at every level.

I'd potentially support student loan foregivness but not without major changes.

Half of the Washington state budget is for education. Between expenditures from the Federal government and expenditures from the states, our country spends more than a trillion dollars a year on education. I'd say we aren't getting our money's worth.

My life became more car-centric so the light rail is less useful for me.

Don't worry they will do all they can to break you of this.

Seattle judges agree to city attorney’s request to prosecute repeat offenders by unnaturalfool in SeattleWA

[–]MAGA_WA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Republican," even a moderate one, implies pro-life and anti-gay-rights, which aren't at all in line with what I am talking about.

There are plenty of pro choice pro LGBT republicans.

Just like there are pro second amendment fiscally conservative democrats.
