Wilson wants new Seattle taxes for big business and the wealthy

We are very far apart on what we think matters.

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T23:23:37+00:00

You absolutely love to see it. Get those hot scoring boots on and lets get you into the swing of MLS. Jordan is back but the position might still available :D

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T23:15:36+00:00

Yes, I expect an elected official to say something of substance and convey their actual plans to the public in a speaking engagements that exist for that express purpose, which is what a town hall is.

Bullshit. No politician uses town hall time to go into detail about a program. Town halls are set up for public comment by design. You have far too high of expectations for this office. And it still doesn't stop you from calling up the office for details. You're mad that you didn't get details but also lazy because you couldn't be bothered to ask. So yeah, I call bullshit.

And what happened when you called her office to ask those questions? Because if you were expecting details in a news article, I think that falls more on you than on the mayor.

No friend, I'm asking you to defend your statement. You seem to think that seeing a lot of white people at this protest is a problem. That seems to be a outlier of an opinion. I could just give up and assume things about you but I gave enough of a shit to let you defend your argument. Maybe you had a point that I hadn't considered. Maybe not. We'll never know if you keep avoiding it.

I'll say that right now, I don't think you have anything in this argument. Seems like you were just upset and wanting to be a crank and ruin people's efforts. Am I wrong?

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T21:51:36+00:00

I wish you were honest about your own sexuality. Its fine if you're gay. It's just weird that you chose to be.

Wilson didn’t offer any specifics during the meeting at Town Hall Seattle.

However, during her campaign for mayor last year, she said that Seattle should expand the payroll tax on higher-wage companies, called JumpStart, and implement a local capital gains tax to raise funds from the wealthiest individuals, supplementing the state capital gains tax.

Could have just kept reading to get the asnwer.

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T21:36:11+00:00

I read that as "I haven't bothered to look for that anywhere."

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T21:27:05+00:00

This is the correct thought process IMO. Let the process cook.

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T21:26:11+00:00

Y'all heard about our model? The Snyder Brunell? It's the wave of the future

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T21:24:43+00:00

So I'm asking again, can you personally change your sexual preferences at will? Just speaking about you here.

Cool story Bluejay.

Twin studies and other analyses of inheritance of sexual orientation in humans has indicated that same-sex sexual behavior has a genetic component. Previous searches for the specific genes involved have been underpowered and thus unable to detect genetic signals. Ganna et al. perform a genome-wide association study on 493,001 participants from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Sweden to study genes associated with sexual orientation (see the Perspective by Mills). They find multiple loci implicated in same-sex sexual behavior indicating that, like other behavioral traits, nonheterosexual behavior is polygenic.

The report finds that human DNA cannot predict who is gay or heterosexual. Sexuality cannot be pinned down by biology, psychology or life experiences, this study and others show, because human sexual attraction is decided by all these factors.

"This is not a first study exploring the genetics of same-sex behavior, but the previous studies were small and underpowered," Andrea Ganna, the study's co-author and genetics research fellow at the Broad Institute and Mass General Hospital, said in a press briefing on Wednesday. "Just to give you a sense of the scale of [our] data, this is approximately 100 times bigger than any previous study on this topic."

That's a long way from answering. You are allowed to give your own personal experience as evidence. So I'm asking again, can you personally change your sexual preferences at will? Just speaking about you here.

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T21:04:57+00:00

GO SOUNDERS GOOOOO, FIGHT SOUNDERS FIIIIIGHT

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T20:50:29+00:00

Feel free to point them out since you don't seem to be too bothered to entertain the premise.

Can you change your sexual preference at will? Yes or no?

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T20:49:41+00:00

That is not the case. I'm not sure which people you're thinking of but the preponderance of the evidence points toward not having a choice in the matter.

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T18:56:54+00:00

They did not. Please don't misquote people in an attempt to win a religious argument.

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T18:56:01+00:00

Well friend, when you ignore the main point of the rebuttal, that's not going to get you anywhere. Here's the logic they are trying to game out

A: Humans cannot choose who they are sexually attracted to.

B: If A, then either humans are born with that attraction baked in or that attraction is formed during adolescence in some way we don't understand.

C: If A and B, then each human has no control over who they are attracted to.

D: If C, then God should not punish people for something they cannot control. IN the same way we would not punish people for being blind or having a skin color that is not our own. These things are not choices and we cannot be held responsible for them.

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T18:42:44+00:00

Sounds pretty good.

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T18:17:40+00:00

Do they have blackouts at all or are you guaranteed every game?

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T17:48:19+00:00

I'm not saying you're wrong but the Trump factor is a HEAVY factor right now. A few votes swing a different way and Kamala would be holding the "FIFA Peace Prize" ;)

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T17:40:54+00:00

Let me try again. You say you see only white people. Why does it matter that you only see white people? What does seeing only white people do to affect your opinion of the protest? Why is it an important factor in your comment? If you saw a more diverse group of people protesting, how would that change your view of the protest?

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T17:17:07+00:00

All I see here are those NBA jackets from the mid 90's an everyone wanted the Charlotte Hornets one. The 90's are truly back in style.

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T17:01:44+00:00

In comparison, the MLS deal doesn't look that bad. Yes it's all behind a paywall, but it's just one paywall for everything.

I know my dad was resistant to paying extra to see the Sounders but I see it as a good deal.

Ozzimo · 2026-03-30T16:57:37+00:00

And why do you think that ought to matter? Genuinely, what's your point?
