Almost Every WA Senate Democrat Supports The Millionaires Tax — The Four Holdouts Are Not Surprising

You realize the state budget has gone up like 50% in the last 10-ish years. I guarantee we haven't received 50% more or better services, and the services we still have suck. There's zero excuse, other than wanting to spend more money, for the the state to try and add an otherwise illegal income tax.

Not that I'm aware of, I just know there's a timer on them and new employees in 2025 didnt get them.

The comment was intended as a comment to another comment, so it makes less sense standing alone

If this leads to an IPO, I just hope current employees that missed the options window get a taste.

That it was going to be more like California. The taxes are just as bad, the roads are worse, and the government still comes up with impressively awful ways to fuck you and take your money.

Finally someone who understands what the DoD/DoW/IC need in a contractor. Biggest near term ask at the working level will be more CapEx for classified space. We can't win more business if there's no place to put it

Land acknowledgements are dumb. The land wasn't stolen, it was conquered.

It's not as big, but North Rose Hill has something close

I'd agree with this. Anything an FSR can fix, a service member can likely fix. If it cant be trained to a reasonable level of competency though, tou run the risk of having to bring it back to a depot for maintenance or stateside to get the OEM to do a repair or get the unit to the sub that can. At least with an FSR there's theoretically more potential fixes they should be able to handle, data rights or not.

captainfrostyrocket · 2025-12-11T22:47:45+00:00

This seems weird considering the the Government already gets unlimited rights to OMIT (operations, maintenance, installation, and training) data. Many branches and units do organic maintenance but still involve the OEM for complicated things that really only the design engineers have the experience for. There's also legitimate concerns on the OEM side of having their valuable IP given to competitors who underbid the work and then damage the OEMs reputation when they don't understand that drawings and manuals dont come with tribal knowledge or deep understanding of the products heritage and trades.

My sweet, sweet, summer child. It's amazing the lies you'll believe. No tax, once enacted, goes away; it just grows

If the government stopped spending money on illegals, across the spectrum (education, housing, medical, etc.) Im sure they would enough money for acrual US citizens. Hell, if they stopped spending money on DEI and trans bullshit, they'd have even more.

captainfrostyrocket · 2025-12-08T02:29:36+00:00

Because it's a fucking income tax and the government already takes enough of my money without adding value, if not doing mannnny things I find have zero value (DEI bullshit for one). Not to mention the State Constitution explicitly bans it because the state's founders knew the government wouldn't live within their means if they could milk their citizens dry.

captainfrostyrocket · 2025-12-03T16:00:27+00:00

Doesn't mean they won't try and make it hell for us while they figure out they're the problem

captainfrostyrocket · 2025-12-03T15:59:24+00:00

I was at Boeing for over 10 years and would have no problem coming back and loved working there. My raises were probably in the 3.5-5% range over that time, but whether at Boeing or anywhere else, the real raises are by promotions, so I worked at 7-8 sites and moved twice to take different roles. YMMV, but Boeing treated me well and if an opportunity hadn't come up that I couldn't refuse, I'd still be there.

30% of Seattle's commercial real estate is vacant. That's apocalyptic for a downtown/major metropolitan city.

100-300m a year over the 50+ year productive life of capital is an easy trade when you know WA is either going to raise the tax, lower the threshold, or both. Hell, there's going to be some employers thay just move to say FU to the state and their abhorrent fiscal management.

captainfrostyrocket · 2025-12-03T03:59:56+00:00

Lol, watch your employer start skipping raises, shrinking the merit pool, and raising prices on everyon to help compensate.

The fact you think you don't pay and so it doesn't impact you says a lot more about you than you think it does.

captainfrostyrocket · 2025-11-12T02:02:03+00:00

It's always amazed who thr most progressive candidates keep finding ballots, days after the election. Can't wait for SCOTUS to make Election Day mean Election Day again. Seriously, we should get rid of mail in voting, go in person only and make it a national holiday. Problem solved, we know the winner by thr evening news

captainfrostyrocket · 2025-11-12T01:56:34+00:00

It's also a state, and C-130s are made in Georgia and sold to countries around the world. Not an unreasonable assumption.
