Does being this predictable pain you, Jedi?
Or do you lack the self awareness to even realize you’re behaving exactly as I said you would?

Predictable tool is predictable.

But I linked stories while playing word games to avoid the topic.

Yep.

... and then you call my demonstration of Seattle City Council’s financial unaccountability and waste a “false narrative” when it’s drawn from no less than three separate linked sources.
The irony.
How about we agree to this.

You can't call something a canard, if it is actually true.

Simple enough, right?

I would think that is obvious. Can we agree to that?

Like clockwork.

Anyone want to take bets on whether Jedi will acknowledge the disastrous policy of taking $17,000 from every man, woman, and child in Seattle only to produce a net increase Increase the number of Seattle’s homeless? Or admit that alienating the largest employers in a region to fund less than 5% of a “solution” is batshit crazy?

Or is that bet too obvious? Yeah, odds makers say foregone conclusions can’t be bets.

How can we have a substantive argument if we can't agree on the facts?

You have a straight answer for that?

I don't think the canard was in reference to people dying, but rather the argument that suggests that "people dying" is somehow a reason to continue current policy.

My facts are backed by the multiple sources I provided. There’s nothing to argue, unless you don’t trust the Seattle Councils own numbers.

What they’ve spent and what they’ve achieved is a matter of public record, not the subject of debate.

Don’t.

When faced with their own colossal failures progressives seek shelter from the truth absolutely anywhere they can find it. Word games and semantics are simply the first rabbit pulled from the “talk about anything but our obvious failures” hat.

The facts remain - a billion squandered on nothing resembling a solution. Another employer-alienating tax levied to fund less than 5% of their own ridiculous new “solution”. That’s the progressive legacy on homelessness in Seattle.

It’s the only thing Jedi doesn’t want to talk about, and therefore the only thing I’ll be talking about. Progressives sure aren’t a fan of facts when they come out on the wrong end of them, eh?

Did Jedi finally address the failed policies of progressives?

No?

Still acting as predicted pages ago?

Shocking.
:lol:

A billion wasted with nothing to show for it. Our major employers alienated for less than 5% of a proposed solution. The progressive legacy on homelessness in Seattle, y’all. There it is.
