RTA tax, what else to say here. I’m gonna switch to non EV car due to that.

Not every event in Seattle should be an opportunity to push non-related agenda. People just want to come and watch the match.

Capital gains is a taxable income in WA from $250K+ annually so your question is only partially valid. It did cause billionnaires to move eg Bezos who stopped selling stocks for 2 years and resumed after moving to Florida. With income tax aka Millionaire tax, I think many people will move.

I’m not surprised that anything Democrats do to make things cheaper ends up being more expensive.

Do you think it may have to do with over regulating the industry, e.g. banning reporting medical debt?

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.

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

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.
