Quote from: Herman on May 01, 2026, 08:59:15 PMKatie Wilson, the 43-year-old leftist blogger elected mayor of Seattle last year, apparently finds it amusing that deep-pocketed residents and businesses are fleeing her crime-ridden city.
According to a recent report from the the Downtown Seattle Association, the Emerald City's downtown has seen a 14% decrease in brick-and-mortar retail jobs since 2010 and lost an estimated 13,000 jobs just last year, amounting to the biggest decrease in jobs since the pandemic.
The report noted further that Seattle's downtown office vacancy remained at a post-pandemic high of 25%; the central business district experienced an office vacancy rate of 32% last year, nearly double previous high point during the Great Recession in 2009; and the combined taxable value of the 20 highest-valued properties in Seattle's downtown has declined from over $10 billion in 2021 to roughly $5.1 billion this year.
Wilson signaled that her city's crushing taxes won't soon be changed.
But to those beleaguered residents who have chosen to leave or might do so in the near future, the mayor waved, said, "Bye," and laughed in concert with fellow travelers in the sparsely populated audience.
Despite Wilson's casual dismissal, high taxes in Seattle appear to be chasing jobs to cities like Bellevue.
Jon Scholes, president of the Downtown Seattle Association, suggested that Amazon's decision to relocate thousands of employees from Seattle to other King County locations was the direct result of Seattle's overwhelming tax burden, reported the Center Square. Starbucks, which is headquartered in Seattle, also appears to be angling for greener pastures.
Among the taxes the city has implemented is the Social Housing Tax, a 5% levy on employee compensation exceeding $1 million, and the JumpStart Payroll Expense Tax, which the city slapped on companies with employees making more than $150,000 annually.

Quote from: Blazor on May 02, 2026, 11:26:30 AMI know BF was an actor long ago, but mostly was just an extra. I was watching an older movie last night, had to pause for a second to see if it was him. Was 2 seconds of a dude walking up stairs with his nose up a drag queens ass. Wasn't him, but looked a lot like him lol.

Quote from: formosan on May 02, 2026, 11:52:33 AMI remember the first time he registered here with the handle snowflakes4trump....I was the owner then....he kept disrupting discussions that had nothing to do with the American president with memes about him....I asked him to stop, he didn't so I confined him to the former Reject Rodeo..That is what he does on every forum. He also searches for cases of guys who aint trannies molesting kids after some violent tranny shoots up a school.
I assumed he was one of many harmless flyover trolls we've had since this forum was founded nearly thirteen years ago.
