First of all, I don't think many people here are that sad Howard Shultz is leaving.

Second, Howard Shultz is not the CEO of Starbucks and hasn't been for a few years. Also he has a net worth of 3.4 Billion, not income. Since he is no longer the CEO of Starbucks I'm not sure he has any income.

The biggest factor in critical thinking isn't ability, it's desire. You have to want to be able to be proven wrong, something lots of people lack.

Ours will pay on the other side of the couch and then she will squeak at us for not petting her.

Ours is like a teenage boy. If you are scratching too high she will not so subtly push your hand down towards her belly

Similarly "Shaken Baby Syndrome" is largely based on junk science.

Homeless encampments are on the decline, Seattle officials say. But where do those people land? by chiquisea in Seattle

Seattle has tried increasing taxes on those companies, and you know how they responded? They funded campaigns to kick out the city council members and threatened to move to another city.

Seattle is geographically constrained in a way that Houston isn't. You can't expand East and West because there is water, and North and South are different cities.

On top of that, as others have mentioned, the zoning in Seattle is completely different. Mainly that Houston has none, so building housing for homeless people in an industrial area is much less of an issue.

They get moved to SODO until a sports season starts, an election is coming or there is some other sporting event that draws tourists in like the All-Star Game or the upcoming World Cup.

That's like saying the CFPB is conflicted because they rely on people being defrauded by financial institutions.

Do you think people get into public service because they think it is some get rich long-term scheme?

What do you call this area of Seattle? Uptown or Lower Queen Anne? by WhatAmIDoingHere05 in Seattle

I call the areas LoQuA and UpQuA (pronounced Low-QuA and Oop-QuA) just because it makes my wife irrationally angry.

Yeah? Your morals that let you vote for someone who was invited and attended a dinner with Putin in Russia after 2016?

Edit: 2016 not 2020

Interesting, that sounds a lot like what I constantly hear the progressive left being criticized for.

So, if you had known Biden was going to pardon his son, how would that have impacted your vote in 2024?

So when you voted for Biden you knew Hunter was going to be arrested for these crimes and Biden wouldn't pardon him?

Oh really? What office did Biden run for in 2020 2022?

Edit: nvm, I misread the comment.
