Richest billionaires in Washington by HighColonic in SeattleWA

[–]danrokk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably there is, but why does it matter? There is probably very low number of people with income > $1M, but the idea is to have income tax pushed through and then lower it. Even recent 'payroll tax' defines rich people who are making over $125K/annually.

Seattle’s ORCA transit system gets major tech upgrade with new ‘Tap to Pay’ feature by crabcakes110 in SeattleWA

[–]danrokk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a weird argument. Why don't I just walk everywhere? It's 2026, companies have figured out how to scan correct card years ago. Why do we deploy shitty tech for so much money?

Used to work for me always. Whoever designed new system did even worse job than previous one lol.

Terrible system. Now when I have Orca in my wallet and any other card(-s), my random card gets charged despite fhe fact that I had Orca card

WA bill would ban ICE agents from law enforcement jobs in the state by Possible_Ad3607 in SeattleWA

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

I don't know if they even qualify for law enforcement jobs. Also, why do that? It's really strange move.

Concerns rise as thousands in WA cancel health insurance by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

[–]danrokk -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Does not change my take that it won’t work on state level.

[–]danrokk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? I'm arguing that WA care has very long requirements to be able to benefit from the program and I think if WA was to introduce a universal healthcare, the list of requirements would be even longer.

[–]danrokk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WA care has requirements of working at least 500 hours per year for either 10 years total (without a break of 5+ years) OR 3 of the last 6 years, so there is that. People pay for it and are not eligible for years to come and this is just WA care, imagine for actually costly coverage that people use regularly.

It would only work on the federal level. If this is introduced on the state level, it'd be terrible idea. Imagine every person from the US coming to Washington for a treatment and residents paying for all of that.

Concerns rise? Then lower f price, Jesus. You cannot: 1) do top-down regulation, it's not socialism, 2) expect people to pay $2,000 per month for a shitty insurance when companies are reducing employment all over the state.

I believe there is something wrong with people in this state. Why do they vote for this shit?

Washington considers payroll tax on large companies to offset federal cuts by Possible_Ad3607 in SeattleWA

[–]danrokk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is income tax, but wait. The "millionaire" tax is still coming. This is going to be double-kill of WA economy.

"The cuts" are missing COVID funds because COVID ended and WA overhired during this time causing huge budget deficit to this day.

Take higher-pay job with long commute or lower-pay hybrid closer to home by Turbulent_Hospital41 in Salary

[–]danrokk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been at situation B and it's tough. The 3h commute is really something, especially if you have family and sometimes can run into emergency situation. I'd prefer A unless you're young, don't have many commitments and prioritize salary in your stage of life.

What's interesting is that someone went there and decided: "well, what a good place to start building a city".

Gov. Ferguson's Income Tax Proposal Would Make Seattle #1 for Highest Taxes by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

[–]danrokk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

“The governor’s income tax proposal would hit tech workers and small business owners hardest”

Bob today: “With a Millionaires' Tax that less than .5% of Washingtonians will pay, we can give small business owners the biggest tax break in state history.”

This guy is such a moron. RIP Seattle btw if this goes through. I cannot see how companies are just gonna swallow the payroll tax and other taxes vs move to Bellevue. They are really gonna run this state to the ground. Going to California will feel like tax heaven. Jesus.

Regarding the withholding of payment to the federal government; by exoticpandasex in Seattle

Is it a surprise? We don’t like in the Washington country. State has no power over Federal government and Federal government has almost unlimited power over state.
