Ivory Tower Economist thread:
From Seattle to D.C., city councils are voting to reshape the service industry. They are raising wages, mandating schedules, and creating new labor bureaucracies. They all point to "data" and "research." The question nobody asks: who paid for it? 🧵
I feel sad for this neighborhood. I spoke to many of these folks when I ran for State Rep and they acknowledged the problems. However, they still all voted for Darya Farivar, who has championed the Defund the Police movement through the WA Coalition for Police Accountability. She also ran several soft-on-crime/criminals legislation proposals. Its sad that ideology gets in the way of common sense. I do hope that finally they get a response from leadership through them coming together.
This dude is running for Mayor in a Texas town. He hates America. So if he hates America, why would he want to live here and run for office to govern constituents? Because he wants to change the town to be more in his image of hate. GTFOH
This is the PERFECT example of why foreigners should not be allowed to run for office
Zul Mohammed just ran for Mayor of Carrollton, Texas. He’s from Pakistan
“No vet has made any sacrifice. I want to make that clear. I do not support the US military. No, I do not support the United States. I look down on both entities. I want to make that clear”
I can’t think of a better example of why only natural born citizens should be allowed to run for office
Also he is a Muslim, which further enforces the classic “I do not support the United States”
We need new election eligibility laws
@realDonaldTrump is 100% correct in what he is saying here. It's just like what they have been doing in Seattle. For people who have been paying attention, it's pretty clear that there is election fraud happening in progressive strongholds.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. President Trump just went berserk on the ELECTION FRAUD in California to Kristen Welker's face, and she melted down
"They're CROOKED just like YOU'RE CROOKED! You're either CROOKED or you're STUPID. You KNOW these elections are rigged." 🔥
"They're dropping fast because it's a RIGGED ELECTION! It's DAYS and they aren't even CLOSE. They're CHEATING on the election!"
WELKER: Do you have evidence?!
TRUMP: You just have to look! Do YOU think it's appropriate they have an election, five days+ they're nowhere CLOSE!
WELKER: They're slow
TRUMP: "No THEY'RE CROOKED! Just like you're crooked, the press is crooked and Meet the Press is crooked!"
"You play right into their hands with this crap. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. You know that I won an election in a landslide. And I got 94% bad press. You know why I got that? Because you have no credibility."
BOOM!!!
Turns out that @LeaderJohnThune was totally projecting when he said the SAVE Act was an influencer campaign.
Senator John Thune is compromised by a company that literally exists to sell access to himself.
Pass it on.
SEATTLE MAYOR BLASTED: Mayor Katie Wilson was MIA at Saturday night's anti-violence march in North Seattle.
Neighbors eviscerated mayor Wilson, calling her a coward and accusing her of being unprepared to address the staggering amount of human trafficking and ongoing pimp wars on Aurora Ave N.
@MayorofSeattle|@CMBobKettle|@KCProsecutor|@SeaCityAttorney
I spoke to dozens of people in the neighborhoods that butt up against Aurora. All of them told the same story of not feeling safe, of the constant gunshots and sus people coming through. It is such a shame that their Rep. in Olympia also supports crime over her constituents.
Seattle City Attorney Erika Evan's progressive ideology is causing hell for the people of North Seattle, as she refuses to enforce existing Stay Out of Areas of Prostitution zones.
Cascade Party's Krist Novoselić breaks down how this was all part of her plan from the beginning.

Later I’ll be unmasking every single lie in these statements. There are so many it’s difficult to know where to begin.
Just know the only truth is there will be a devastating (but predictable) budget shortfall once again. I’ll break that down as well.
@WallStreetApes Good luck, everybody. She is a socialist, and the goal of the socialist is to disrupt commerce/capitalism. Best way to do that is to tax you to death and create a class of citizens that have to rely on the government.
@weheartseattle@choeshow@alisonintheknow Because it's the center of the hornet's nest. We are the big labor run experiment. The gang's all here and so is the $$$.
This guy here is one of the reasons living in Seattle is like living in an HOA. He loves the government to hold his hand and tells everyone how they should live. ugh.
