I’ll shut up after this….5,800 people saw this tweet. Assuming everyone is a coug and able to donate the one time 50$ that’s a quick $290,000. Consider than when you pass over tweets like these. Maybe not *everytime* but consider the possibilities of this “it’s just $20” comment

Seattle's insane minimum wage (currently $21) experiment delivered exactly what the free market predicted - entry-level jobs vanished. Restaurants automated ordering systems, retailers cut hours, and small businesses discovered they could function with fewer workers. The city council celebrated "progress" while teenagers found themselves competing with college graduates for the remaining positions.

You can mandate higher wages, but you cannot mandate higher productivity. When government forces employers to pay $21 for $10 worth of output, those jobs disappear into thin air. The workers who need experience most - young people, immigrants, those with gaps in their résumé - get locked out entirely.

Politicians sell minimum wage hikes as compassion. What they deliver is economic segregation (the connected get jobs, the rest get welfare applications).

How’s your governor doing?

Ours is so untrustworthy he’s getting Community Noted.

I would pay for a Mike Leach navigation voiceover. With obscure info as you pass certain places on your journey. Shovel pass rants, raccoon’s dexterity discussions, and Atocha wreckage lore can fill long stretches.

@carlberg44 @GodAboveAll22 I don’t think many people support this war. Once it ends WA will still be a high cost of living state. When that happens the answer is roll back taxes and spend within limit but we both know that won’t happen. Look at millionaire tax Dems vetoed amendment to never lower threshold

[chuck @Wazzu507]

@carlberg44 @GodAboveAll22 Washington hasn’t had a GOP governor in 40+ years. GOP hasn’t controlled house or senate in 20+. Dems in WA have nobody to blame but themselves for how expensive WA has become to live in.

[chuck @Wazzu507]

@carlberg44 @GodAboveAll22 Yes, but not acknowledging what Jordan’s original point was is the reference. Yes, war is the root cause. However, the state can drop prices by a dollar+ by pausing the tax. WA is one of the highest gas price states. Pause the tax and that’s no longer true. It’s temporary relief.

[chuck @Wazzu507]

@GodAboveAll22 @carlberg44 Dems prove time and time again they don’t understand economics. They would never admit a tax makes something more expensive. It’s always something else.

@1BethDutton If Washington voters were smart they would vote out their representatives who voted yes on this.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: US jobs numbers have now been revised down in each of the last 13 months, by a total of -710,000 jobs.

This means employment was initially overstated by an average of ~55,000 jobs per month.

US job numbers were revised down by another -4,000 jobs in January and -65,000 in December.

This brings the December reading down to -17,000, marking the 5th contraction over the last 9 months.

Since January 2024, there have been downward revisions in 24 out of 25 months.

US labor market data is more unreliable than ever.

"In 2017, CNBC ranked Washington as the nation’s top state for business.
Since then, progressive local and state legislators have done everything possible to tarnish that.
CNBC now ranks the state as 41st in business friendliness and 48th in cost of doing business."

Congrats Washington. You are now being used to teach other states about how Progressivism is fatal.

The former VP of Google Cloud is "figuring out what's next." But it won't be in Washington state because politicians are treating innovators like the enemy.

An income tax kills the golden goose. #waleg

Wake up Washington.

[Brian Hall @IsForAt]

Bellevue native here and I LOVE this. but... this is the micro-optimization. We're going to do amazing things in Bellevue and we're all figuring out how to move our businesses outside Washington now because our politicians are telling us they don't want us to be successful. Everyone I know is looking at Austin, Miami, Bozeman, and Jackson right now.

@MissingSonics @WSUCougarsMBB How much sir?

[chuck @Wazzu507]

The state of Washington is scrambling to find any penny they can due to failed democrat policy. Policy always starts with taxing “the elites” and always makes it down to us common folk. Always.
