"Perhaps the strongest rebuke from the business community since Mayor Wilson took office."

Some of the dozens of local businesses who signed the letter demanding action on public safety from Katie Wilson and the Council:

Seattle Mariners
Nordstrom
Alaska Airlines
T-Mobile
Microsoft
Fred Hutch
Costco
Pemco Insurance
PSE
Kaiser Permanente
Starbucks
Virginia Mason
Zillow
Seattle Chamber of Commerce

We are seeing a lot of criticism from folks online that these businesses supported the very people who are driving Seattle towards disaster. This criticism is totally fair and warranted, but should be followed with the caveat; this demand letter is real and does not sugar coat ANYTHING.

Reading between the lines, it represents a major change in that these organizations are no longer afraid of retaliation, if they speak up. It needs to lead to a greater participation statewide, as well as more letters (with bite) to lawmakers that they are not afraid of cracking some eggs when insisting on sound policy.

(And for goodness' sake; they need to not support the people causing the problems.)

Sadly this hits harder than it should. Never in my life did I think back on sept 11, 2001 we'd ever be in the situation we are in right now. Wild times we live in.

If you look really closely, you can notice a slight difference in how the fake news media covered Biden offering checks if his party wins vs Trump offering checks if his party wins

CNN
Biden: 🦗🦗🦗
Trump: This is crooked!

NBC
Biden: “populist pitch”
Trump: legal and financial problem!

WaPo
Biden: “Big new opportunity!”
Trump: This is illegal!
