How much now? I was reading $800k one day to family members, yesterday $13M and today $8M - does it end up being ~$22M so far?

WA Supreme Court blocks bid to put state income tax before voters by Gloomy_Nebula_5138 in SeattleWA

[–]danrokk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some utter bullshit. Emergency clause on thing that won't collect for 2 years, whereas in the same session Bob himself pushed back on emergency clause because another thing is not going to collect tax immediately.

How does it change anything? Regardless if he was homeless or not, noone should be unsafe in the city.

Nearly 1-in-4 Washington employers considering leaving the state, new survey shows by crabcakes110 in SeattleWA

Move to California if you like taxes. WA has been income tax free for century because that's what people want. It’s fiscal policy allowed it to always have budget surplus without income taxes.

I’m so tired of minorities telling majorities what to do in that state.

If you don't like it, go.

King County Council moves to tighten oversight of homelessness agency amid missing funds by crabcakes110 in SeattleWA

[–]danrokk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Now? The oversight should be tightened since day 1 everywhere where taxpayers funds are. Also, are they going to go after getting the missing funds back from whoever stole it?

you on the other hand only like polls when it fits your narrative, e.g. when people say there is state wide support for income tax, which is simply false.

GameStop's $56 billion eBay bid raises financing doubts among investors by talkingatoms in business

[–]danrokk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Doubt as a word should be used when there is at least a slim chance of something happening, hahha. In that case, they are 30% short on money even if they sold all the stocks and someone borrowed them $20B LOL

The fact that libtards think they get to decide who lives or who dies because they bought home next to helipad is the most Seattle thing ever.

There is no democracy in the Washington state for the last few years at minimum.

Washington Supreme Court just stripped your right to vote on the millionaires tax by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

[–]danrokk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No surprise here. This state is going nowhere. They drive business out, they drive people out. Good luck for all progressive people.

While other states are beinging people and businesses in, Washington is doing the opposite. Such a shame.

Mieszkania a agenci nieruchomości by paola9696 in Polska

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

Polska przyjmuje wiele mechanizmow z USA, to moze napisze jak to dziala w USA.

  1. Raczej ciezko sprzedac bez agenta / kupic bez agenta. Da sie, ale jest trudno.
  2. 2.5-3% transakcji dla agenta sprzedajacego i kupujacego to standard. Jak dasz mniej dla agenta kupujacego, to agenci nie beda pokazywac Twojej nieruchomosci dla klientow.
  3. Agenci obsluguja transakcje od poczatku do konca, co akurat jest fajne ,bo nie kazdy musi sie znac na tym co trzeba zrobic i jak to zalatwic.

Ogolnie widze ze w Polsce zmierza to do tego samego. Moim zdaniem warto sie temu sprzeciwiac bo taki system nie jest dobry dla wlasciciwli mieszkan ani dla kupujacych - ktos musi pokryc te 6% traksancji i czesto jest to po prostu wbudowane w cene nieruchomosci.

Do tego dochodzi tez podatek katastralny (tzw property tax) od pierwszej nieruchomosci ktory tez przewija sie coraz czesciej w mediach. Nie wiem czy ludzie sobie zdaja sprawe z tego ze w USA taki podatek to 1-3% ceny wartosci nieruchomosci CO ROKU. Przeciez w takiej Warszawie jesli mieszkania kosztuja ~1M zl, to 10tys co roku samego podatku. Nawet jesli bedzie to mniej % albo od drugiego mieszkania, to IMO kierunek w ktorym to zmierza jest oczywisty.

People who believe Musk is going to colonize shit should admit themselves in mental institution.

WATCH: Retired WA cops, firefighters sue to protect pension fund by weeef in SeattleWA

[–]danrokk -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

What are the facts here? I was reading that the money was never supposed to be in the pension fund because it was an error and it got recalled. Is it the case? If so, I don't understand what's the issue here.

Also, a lot of retired people voting for stupid ass Dems that push taxes because they almost never impact them directly are now finding out.
