@_CactusZak@skaushik100 Amazon is the largest payer under Seattle’s JumpStart tax, passed in 2020. The tax applies a 0.7%–2.4% rate on salaries above $150,000 at companies with $7M+ in annual payroll. As the largest company in the highest tier (payroll over $1B), Amazon pays the maximum 2.4% rate
@_CactusZak@skaushik100 Amazon almost certainly pays over a $1B a yr to WA state in aggregate (B&O + sales tax + property tax), but precise figures aren’t published. It’s a complex picture — substantial taxes paid, significant taxes avoided, and ongoing political tension around both.
Just love this. Scottie Scheffler: “When she tries to get me to clean the dishes or something like that, I’ll put the jacket on and be like, ‘Really, I still have to do this?’ I’ve had some fun with her with that.” https://t.co/QvicHwpGNd
So very sad to see what is happening in Bellevue, WA. Downright heartbreaking. Unfortunately this behavior diffuses the important message of any protest.
i’m all for peaceful protesting but seeing people coming to bellevue just to loot breaks my heart. totally taking away from the whole point of marching ): focus on the movement and don’t take advantage of it (not my video)
I am an emergency physician. My increased exposure means that I have chosen to isolate from my family, to keep them safe. This is how I see my daughters (pictured with their cousins, with whom they’re staying).
If I can do this, you can stay home.
