Seattle Socialists Strangle Golden Goose

What’s your solution to the seagull mob problem?
Stop throwing breadcrumbs down.

What are you offering to solve the homeless problem?

I’m not swindling taxpayers at a clip of $17,000 per man, woman, and child in the city to watch our homelessness increase. I’m not imperiling 8000 high paying jobs to build less than 5% of the affordable housing I claim to need.

Just by opposing progressives, I’ve already done more for the city than the elected city council.

Why is it leftist always bray “What have YOU done?!?” When confronted with the enormity of their own failures?

I haven’t fucked everything up by being a greedy, anti-capitalist, low-info, tyrannical, virtue-signaling, retard. Given the alternative I’d say that’s more than sufficient.

Again, the consent of the governed. If this isn't how the residents of Seattle want their money spent, then they'll vote them out when the time comes.

Let's agree on the facts. Homeless people are dying in the streets:
https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-ne ... y-in-2017/

The total homeless deaths since 2012 — 697 people — and the 2017 total are higher than previously reported because the medical examiners’ staff found previously uncounted deaths of people presumed to have been homeless.

The medical examiner said this is actually a fraction of all homeless deaths, since it only includes deaths where the person was presumed homeless and didn’t die of natural causes. The medical examiner defines “presumed homeless person” as someone who didn’t have permanent housing, and determines this from where and how they died, and sometimes testimony from next of kin.

Seattle's city council is proposing a bit of a solution, albeit a small one with a hefty price tag, whereas you're stating: do nothing. (Is that what you're stating? I don't want to straw man you here.)

I guess my only question is: should we subsidize preaching to the homeless about having a good work ethic, or are people expected to do that work pro bono?

But what have YOU done?



Virtue signalling purity spiral.

Sure I wasted millions of fucking dollars that I stole from other people, and I only made the problem worse, but I DID something.

“PEOPLE ARE DYING!!!”

People are overdosing on drugs, and Seattle’s solution to that is to provide easier access and free drugs to people. So don’t waste my time with your “people are dying” canard when the same politicians cultivating the homeless crisis are also accommodating the drug and death crisis.

People are dying because progressives are taxing jobs out of the area to subsidize programs that exacerbate humanitarian crises and lining their own pockets. That’s all that is happening here.

I keep putting food in the bird feeder and still the birds won't leave.

Can anyone help me figure out a way to solve this? Jedi? Should I just spend more money on bird feed? Will that help reduce the birds in my yard?

[DBTrek]

Jedi and his progressives have squandered a billion dollars making the homeless crisis worse while simultaneously alienating the largest employers in the area.

What the fuck have you done?!?


Indeed.

You need to chase the bird feeders away so the birds can have birdhouses.

Take a tip from Scientists at National Parks, they make feeding wildlife illegal because the wildlife will become dependant and will no longer be able to take care of themselves.

They also introduce wolves to keep down grazing animal populations.
