@minty_hawk Why start the comparison in 2023? Didn’t the tax take effect earlier?

[fattailed @fattailed]

@engele Don’t many other states have income taxes and also bar wage theft, protect pensions, etc?

[fattailed @fattailed]

@hannahkrieg What are you talking about?

[fattailed @fattailed]

@rizzuhjj Policy was passed in 2014 and phased in over next 10 years.

No tip credit bill ever passed so unclear when this golden age may have ever existed

“The golden era of Seattle restaurants was 2010-2019, after the tip credit bill passed - it ate up 8% margin and restaurants could no longer survive - now restaurants don’t take risks, and are pretty predictable - no one is getting paid more either and people don’t eat out as much”

@Ksaktweets That law was passed in 2014. During the golden age. When wages increased every year.

[fattailed @fattailed]

@Ksaktweets Ah so the golden age happened without a tip credit, and also continuing to not having a tip credit ended the golden age. Sophisticated analysis!

[fattailed @fattailed]

@Ksaktweets This is not true. Zero wage bills passed in 2024

[fattailed @fattailed]

@pgcornwell And Seattle passed the $15 min wage that year too!

@jseattle I'm not a data guy but here's what my friend said, which friend didn't notice some basic things about the pace of counting, i.e. that we're about 3/4 of a day behind.

Great material man, I can see why DoorDash hires him

[fattailed @fattailed]

@KromanDavid They counting any Election Day dropboxes today?

[fattailed @fattailed]

Like sure, if I get elected to city council in 2027 I'll form a block with my friends who will also win their races, let's write up that story too it's definitely not me saying stuff just like it wasn't just Caldier saying stuff

[fattailed @fattailed]

So funny that @Shauna_Sowersby actually wrote an entire puff piece about how Caldier was going to launch a new moderate caucus with two other losing candidates and some unnamed allies. What utterly absurd reporting. https://t.co/NaYfRVZs76

@EssexJP_TV Feels like Ceis is just making excuses for why he keeps losing

[Shaun Scott 🌹🤝 @eyesonthestorm]

As we consult newspaper endorsements while filling out our ballots, keep in mind that in 1911 the founder of the Seattle Times called Washington's new workman's compensation law the "worst the legislature enacted" because it would "prevent new capital from entering the state."

[fattailed @fattailed]

@AlexaVaughn But does he help any of them with childcare expenses?

[fattailed @fattailed]

@hannahkrieg Who were the “leaders” who turned out for this? I assume @benmaritz but who else?

[fattailed @fattailed]

@jontalton What weren’t we informed of?

[fattailed @fattailed]

In which ST Ed Board genius Alex Fryer decides that the city’s failure to address homelessness is the fault of voters, not Harrell who is actually in charge. Hell of an endorsement!

[fattailed @fattailed]

@Mill226 huh, interesting
