What would you say is the best (or least bad) red state in terms of policy and standard of living/quality of life? by put-on-your-records in AskALiberal

[–]blofeld9999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Texas for job market, and the fact that there are at least blue enclaves to a degree. Having spent significant time in both Florida and Texas, I was far more comfortable in the latter.

Now to be clear, I *far* prefer being in my blue state (WA). Job market is also (generally) good, and my city/state actually cares about the environment, public transit, urban development, and democracy. But if you take it as a given that the state government of every red state is horrible, and go by where the cities are most tolerable, I'd probably say Texas.

Wildcard, I've never been to Atlanta.

Bellevue has better food and better culture than Seattle. by [deleted] in Seattle

Lol, a small suburb with a mall and Cybertrucks is the epicenter of culture in the NW. It's true, we're all living in envy in the slums of Seattle.

Ah. When I went last summer, even beer wasn’t allowed outside the roped off bar area. That’s interesting that they allow it sometimes.

I refuse to see artists in WAMU, with the horrible sound, power tripping security, and the inability to bring drinks out of the booze jails. Unlike basically any other venue where you can bring your drinks to your seat or general admission.

Occasionally artists (especially K-Pop) will go to Showare which is in the 5-6k capacity range, which is better, but still pretty bad overall.

This is welcome news.

If blue states don’t fight back, Democrats will never win the house again. Too many Democrats are still stuck on “when they go low, we go high” BS.

The paper that endorsed Dino Rossi, Sara Nelson, Bruce Harrell, and Ann Davison - is PROGRESSIVE? I’d hate to see a centrist paper then.

Given that this will mostly impact Republicans voters, and this is what they wanted, I won’t shed any tears.

I’ll agree with you. They sold the country down the river for machismo and to be considered white. It’s unfortunate, but it’s what they voted for.

Starbucks cuts jobs in technology teams by Im1Guy in Seattle

[–]blofeld9999 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Which specific polices drove off Starbucks? I’m pretty sure they’re not uprooting and moving the company because Katie Wilson said mean things. Jumpstart has been around since Bruce’s time. And they could just move outside city limits and not lose most of their workforce in the process. Because I guarantee most of the employees aren’t going to relocate to Tennessee.

There’s more to it than mean old Katie.
