All about laissez-faire and free markets. A bit to the right of Attila the Hun.

#waleg Rep. @MichelleCaldier isn’t leaving the House. She doesn’t need to resign to run in 2025 special #waelex. Her *seatmate’s* retirement allowed a seat to flip, giving Dems 60% supermajority—enough to pass bonds, but not amend state constitution.

A WA Republican's 🐘 exit from the House just gave Democrats 🫏 a quasi-super majority, giving them full-rein to amend the constitution 📜 and pass debt without any R votes. 💸

Democrats haven't signaled what they want to do with this big stick. #waleg

As #waleg considers several bills to help #smallbiz recover from pandemic-related hardships, workforce shortages, supply chain disruptions, and runaway inflation, one disastrous anti-small-biz bill keeps moving forward: HB 1837, ergonomics. More: https://t.co/dvXn8vxT6f

ok it's time to talk about societal distrust in experts and institutions, the rise of misinformation, cultural polarization, and how to work toward some semblance of mutually agreed upon information before we splinter into irreconcilable realities

@angryseattle is on a roll today with excellent 2021 predictions. Worth a read. 😂

[Angry Seattle @angryseattle]

Who is ready for another year of bullshit?! A thread of miserable predictions to snap you out of the elation of the number 2020 changing to the number 2021 follows...

[Genghis Connor @Genghis_Connor]

This would be funny if it wasn’t already part of Gov. Inslee’s 2021 legislative agenda.

Jeff Bezos will continue to grow his empire, taking advantage of all the failed businesses from 2020. He’ll open clinics, restaurants, car shops, and other brick and mortar service establishments with the main differentiator being Alexa-powered, soulless robots.

This week we presented U.S. Rep. @HerreraBeutler the Guardian of Small Business Award. “These Members of the U.S. House have proven themselves to be real champions for small business,” said @NFIB's Kevin Kuhlman. #smallbizguardian https://t.co/PDLYY5yALi

@mikergoldberg What? Political parties protecting incumbents? I’m shocked, SHOCKED to find that is going on here. 🙄 #waelex #waleg

[Genghis Connor @Genghis_Connor]

@MLEA_Prez That’s unfortunate, but it’s hard to blame voters’ for a lack of enthusiasm at spending more money to support shuttered schools. #waelex #waedu

[Genghis Connor @Genghis_Connor]

@MLEA_Prez Not really. @JayInslee has been polling closer to 60%. No one else has much name ID, except maybe Eyman. #waelex #wagov
