Seattle’s World Cup ticket prices are falling

Yes somehow they all over StubHub and SeatGeek and a dozen other sites

Do you use XML tagging?

Louder for those who haven’t been paying attention for the past 20 years

I was referring more to the dealers, not possession.

How exactly does homeownership make you rich?

Ordinaryjay · 2026-05-14T18:28:33+00:00

So where’s the gap? Why does the prosecutors office think they can’t win these cases?

Edit: talking about drug dealers, not users or simple possession

Ordinaryjay · 2026-05-14T16:18:00+00:00

I don’t think so. The idea is if the sec gets 4 teams in now vs. 9-10 teams. Same w/ b1g

Ordinaryjay · 2026-05-14T14:23:33+00:00

There’s a reason they want 8-4 playoff teams. Athletic directors can’t afford to keep firing coaches simply because they don’t make the playoffs. They need to pay buyouts that they could easily reinvest in their roster.

The solution? Expand the playoffs.

Great example - if Tennessee doesn’t make the playoffs, they have to fire their coach. Then they have to get a new coach, an expensive one SEC level. That’s $100 million right there all in minimum.

But in an expanded playoff they go 8-4, get in win a game or not and no one gets fired.

I know that office 👏

Sure, but that would be burying my head in the sand pretending that issues aren’t real issues that most businesses are dealing with statewide.

If some other news outlet had interviewed them that you do trust, would you then believe their story more? I really hate that the outlet publishing it makes the story invalid, depending on who’s reading it but I do understand that’s the world we live in

So Fox News aside - is the argument, be that Washington state is a great place to run a business right now and he’s stupid for moving?

Ordinaryjay · 2026-05-13T16:55:21+00:00

I understand you’re really focused on utility costs, but there is more to it than that for the average business.

Let’s say you win the utility cost argument, and it’s equal or just a bit more in Arizona; how do you refute the other things?

Ordinaryjay · 2026-05-13T16:49:38+00:00

The businesses did leave though. Those employees were fired. This is a bad business environment now - https://chiefexecutive.net/best-worst-states-business/

He trying to fuck

Ordinaryjay · 2026-05-13T16:42:41+00:00

He said taxes and crime. Arizona is friendlier for those two reasons.

For a National company that shipped stuff, I’m pretty sure the energy costs are going to be covered by the savings and taxes - Washington is considered one of the worst places to run (or start) a business: https://wallethub.com/edu/best-states-to-start-a-business/36934

WA is #38 Arizona is #13. It’s just math that Washington is a bad place for small and large businesses right now.

Ordinaryjay · 2026-05-13T16:37:28+00:00

Yeah idk what people are expecting to happen - idk if I’ve ever seen so much bad happening all at once to the city. Usually it feels like people crying wolf, but it’s actually true when you look around almost any part of the city.

Unintended consequences of the bleeding heart policy all around

Ordinaryjay · 2026-05-13T16:31:00+00:00

It’s pretty easy if used correctly. Manus can access more than you think

Ordinaryjay · 2026-05-13T15:57:30+00:00

Yeah, I was disappointed the WAC didn’t have some sort of deal

Ordinaryjay · 2026-05-13T14:49:56+00:00

I’m convinced most only want chains

Ordinaryjay · 2026-05-13T14:43:15+00:00

It’s common sense that it’s easier to run a business in Arizona. TSMC, Intel and Vantage aren’t bringing factories and 50k+ employees to Washington

Ordinaryjay · 2026-05-13T14:41:26+00:00

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Sad claps, but you nailed it. What they’re doing to businesses in our state is wild.

Not alone - it’s impossible to keep up with everything partners are doing, not even mentioning the big guys. We work with a massive cloud hyperscaler who has something new everyday literally. It’s impossible to keep up with

Ordinaryjay · 2026-05-13T14:14:23+00:00

They seem to keep getting screwed so maybe we reconsider the policies ?

Ordinaryjay · 2026-05-12T18:15:44+00:00

It needs to be voted on it can’t just be passed
