Seattle Socialists Strangle Golden Goose

Sounds like liberalism is doing its job. Have fun, I guess. Don't move away from those areas.

It’s a real fucking treat, let me tell you.
Ain’t no party like a communist party.

The meritocracy must be destroyed. The war is on, until we’re all homeless and shooting up smack in the local Starbucks bathroom stall. You think you’re better than someone else comrade? No. We’re all equally homeless junkies in the workers paradise.

Sucks for the one kid who has to mop the bathrooms tho.
Maybe we’ll import a guy from Guatemala, so as not to disrupt the supreme social leveling powers of the Seattle City Council.

Be careful about those aptitude test, kids. You might think you knocked it out of the park to be a fighter pilot, but the test was really for toxic waste custodial engineering. Fail all those tests on purpose, it's the smart play, comrade.

Seattle City Council is like the Jimi Hendrix of politics.

They stand up next to the (meritocratic) mountain, chop it down with the edge of their hand.

Do people in Seattle realize how big a beating they take on line for their crazy shit.

Starbucks doubles down, says “Fuckit, may as well put needle boxes in the bathroom since we’re now the homeless junkie Free-Haven of coffee chains”

...In October, three Starbucks employees in Seattle told local news that they encountered hypodermic needles on the job nearly every day. They said they had to take antiviral medications to protect themselves from HIV and hepatitis.

Following the incident, Starbucks began installing sharps boxes in certain Seattle locations. Sharps boxes are containers that allow people to safely discard needles, syringes, and lancets that might otherwise pierce a trash bag and poke workers...

As we all know, the best method for ending undesired behaviors is bending over backward to accommodate them.

At some point even the paying customers will go elsewhere to use the bathroom.

At some point paying customers will skip the halfway house for homeless junkies and just get their coffee from a Tuylly's or Seattle's Best.
In Seattle we've got more coffee vendors than we have genders, and that's saying something.

Walked into a Jimmy John's today, and used the bathroom. Then left without purchasing anything. There was a noticeable lack of heroin needles.

Just another day as a stanger in a strange land:

New milestone in King County: Immigrant population tops 500,000




Almost half of the county's growth since 2010 is made up of people born outside of the United States. Only two other counties have seen a bigger increase.

There are a lot of stories behind the Seattle area’s unprecedented growth this decade. There’s Amazon and the tech industry, of course. Then there are the millennials — we’ve attracted more of them than any other city.

But as much as anything, it’s also a story of immigrants.

King County’s total population has grown by about a quarter million since 2010. Almost half of that growth — 49 percent — is from people who were born in another country. There are only two counties in the U.S. — Miami-Dade in Florida and Harris in Texas — that have seen a bigger increase in the number of foreign-born inhabitants. . . .
