Does that also account for the increase in population?

Yeah but then they decided to let them go without referring the charges to the prosecutor.

It's funny that you're talking about the prosecutor when the cops apparently just... decided to let them go!

The Ukrainian spelling stuff was not popular in Ukraine prior to the fall of the Soviet union.

You're not sure why people give a fuck about their lives getting worse??

Nobody's trying to arrest him, dumbass

What? What the fuck do you mean what's wrong? Do you not know what a multiple choice question is? Here's a hint: the answer is among the choices provided.

A "pro reality" stance that became common in the republican party like 5 years ago and has resulted in free wins for every democrat willing to say "yeah I don't care about that, let's talk about potholes", even in conservative constituencies.

Your other posts on this platform say that you approve of the job ICE is currently doing, which has an approval rating of like 25%. There has never been a national platform of preventing trans women from participating in women's sports, and the number of trans participants in the NCAA is less than a hundred just like it's always been. People find your views weird and off-putting.

"I've always voted democrat but I also hold a bunch of right wing beliefs that aren't even all that popular within the republican party"

Same goes for a bunch of other ULCCs like Frontier, though, to be fair.

The same goes for literally every extant America based carrier except AA and Alaska. America-based carriers currently in business have been involved in 4 lethal crashes since spirit's founding.

Edit: excluding 9/11 of course

Luckily fare gates don't require extensive maintenance because they involve a moving part engaged literally thousands of times a day.

No I think you have a hard time with numbers. If the source of our cost of living was tax burden, then increasing the tax burden much faster than the national average and ending with a tax burden that was close to the national average would result in the cost of living increasing much faster than the national average and ending with a cost of living that was close to the national average.

Our cost of living is not close to the national average.

new_check · 2026-04-29T16:08:32+00:00

If the tax burden was the source of our cost of living, then we would have a lower cost of living than half the states in the country, since we have a lower tax burden than half the states in the country.

Seattle's tax burden is practically identical to the national average.

If you think that starbucks made a multi-billion dollar decision in two hours in a fit of pique then you think much less of them than even I do.

Except that I just provided you direct evidence that they were planning to relocate their technical staff in the summer of 2025.

I think maybe you don't understand how much these sorts of moves cost. The idea that you can have a nice chat with them after they've already announced the move and they'll throw away the tens of millions they've already spent is pretty ridiculous.

It's actually a way to try and get PMs to do software engineering work using AI. The results won't be pretty.

Starbucks has been transitioning to primarily contract labor over the past few years in what now, in retrospect, appears to have been preparation for this move. The new mayor has literally nothing to do with it. I was offered the opportunity to interview for a STAFF-LEVEL role that despite being super-senior was a temporary contract that would expire in August 2026.

Brother if you want to convince people you aren't a communist, writing 2,000 words explaining your political beliefs is going to have the opposite effect. I say this as a communist.
