Amazon leaving Seattle

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 10/6/2021 4:25:59 PM

Bloomberg reported, "Amazon CEO, citing ‘rougher’ patch with Seattle, looks to ’burbs." This is not white flight. Seattle has become coyote ugly crazy and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy wants to leave before he has to gnaw off his leg to get out of the trap. Shades of Boeing and the Seattle Supersonics. Bloomberg's story said, "The world’s largest online retailer is by far the biggest private employer in Seattle with more than 50,000 workers. That distinction has proved a headache in recent years, with some residents and government officials blaming the company for exacerbating homelessness and traffic." Seattle has turned Amazon into its whipping boy, blaming the company for problems the city creates.

When you are so far out on the left that even massively lie-beral companies like Amazon know they have to get away, that should really tell you that the problem is not Amazon.

I hope Amazon announcing that they are looking at a few small cities, still in the same state (Wa) is not a head fake while they are trying to cut a deal in a pinko mid-sized city in a red state (e.g., Austin, Tx). Biden has already given Texas more than our share of illegal, "New democrats" and has doubled down on inviting many more foreign invaders.

Sure, drive way an employer with 50,000 employees out of town. Lose the tax revenue and all of the other revenue that these 50,000 employees generated for the greater Seattle area. If it were not for gigantic companies like Amazon and Microsoft being located in or near Seattle, do you think the city would be as popular as it is today? Seattle will no longer be able to blame Amazon for the homeless problem. The homeless will now be able to move into all of the empty condos and hi-rise apartment building that will now be empty when the employees move away to a more business friendly city.

Maybe the city of seattle will buy amazons buildings and turn them into homeless housing like the apartment buildings they are buying. As the big business leave, the restaurants will close. Fewer hotel rooms will be needed and hotels will shutter. The city can then buy them at a discount to house the steady stream of homeless and illegals the socialists will attract. Before too long, the city will be CHAD full time.

Who is going to pay for all the homeless, brainless, lawless conditions that the Amazon workers have been financing for all these years? Seattle is going to implode into one big sewer and they deserve every bit of it. One positive thing, the roads will be clear of traffic and bicyclists will finally be able to get around - if they can dodge the street thugs and meth heads.

Downtown Seattle was trash in 1985 when I was there for a convention. The streets were crawling with vagrants. The city government decided it would be good to give all the vagrants money to use at the rehab clinic. But they didn't give them rehab clinic chits. They gave them cash. So of course it was used on drugs and booze. And vagrants/homeless from all over the country got word and moved to Seattle for the free money. And the streets became flooded. The convention was very unpleasant because we had to stay locked up in the hotel. There were many restaurants down the street that sounded good but hotel food was safer.

Like Portland and many other leftist-controlled cities, Seattle is turning into a maelstrom of evil. I used to live there, and had both symphony and opera subscriptions for many years. It was once a beautiful place to live, but I would not enter that hellhole now for any reason.

The Making of an Endemic Disease 6 replies
Posted by earlybird 10/7/2021 6:10:33 PM Post Reply
When does a pandemic end? How does a pandemic end? These were the questions I was asking myself after Megyn Kelly hosted Dr. Monica Gandhi on her podcast last week. As it turns out, sooner or later we’ll have to admit that our COVID-19 pandemic is morphing into the endemic stage of the disease. A disease can be classified as endemic when it is “persisting in a population or region, generally having settled to a relatively constant rate of occurrence,” or, as Dr. Gandhi put it, you’ve reached endemic levels of a disease when “it’s gone down to a level where you live with it.”

Nearly 200,000 at-home COVID-19 tests in the United States have been recalled by Australian medical tech manufacturer Ellume after the company identified that they were producing incorrect positive results.

Tucker Carlson hit the nail on the head in his opening monologue tonight. This is the first time the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) has been spotlighted as the center of Main Justice’s political targeting operation.

Late yesterday Red State ran a piece on a topic that’s been getting some attention—again, since it goes back some years. But the problem is an ongoing problem: The CIA Blames Incompetence for Losing Dozens of Agents but Is That the Real Story? To give you a flavor for what this is about: Yesterday, the New York Times ran a story that was frightening in a couple of aspects. First, it reported that the C.I.A. had sent a top-secret cable to all stations warning them that “troubling” numbers of agents and informants were being rounded up by our opponents and either executed or flipped into double agents.

Spending on tests to detect the novel coronavirus soared in Wuhan, China, several months before the first official reporting of COVID-19 cases, suggesting the virus was already circulating in communities during the northern summer in 2019 before it was made public by Beijing, according to research by Australian cybersecurity firm Internet 2.0. The firm tracked the sales of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests over several years, revealing an almost 50 percent increase between 2018 to 2019—the year before the COVID-19 outbreak spread across the world. Sales of PCR tests, used to detect specific viruses, totaled 19.1 million yuan (AU$4 million) in 2016, before rising to 29.1 million yuan

Three glistening new buildings in downtown Seattle with 165 studio apartments — originally to be rented at market rates — will instead house the homeless. The Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) is buying the buildings with taxpayer dollars for about $50 million, with federal COVID-19 relief funds splitting the cost equally. Seattle City Hall is contributing about $25 million, while also using “American Rescue Plan Act” funds. A large portion comes from Washington State’s Department of Commerce. Left-wing Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, so unpopular she can’t run for re-election, claims the deals will house people quickly and cheaply, compared to the time and cost required to develop similar projects from scratch.

It should be obvious that no sane parent would ever allow ideology to supersede the proper education of her children. Yet, during the past year, it has become equally clear that many of the nation’s school systems are indoctrinating students using politically tendentious curricula that most of the public considers . . . well . . . insane. This has resulted in widespread protests by parents of all political persuasions to which school boards have responded with stunning hostility. The magnitude of this animus was revealed this week when the National School Boards Association (NSBA) equated parents with “domestic terrorists,” and the Biden administration directed the FBI to investigate them.
