lol - A blog writer working for a soon to be bankrupt (again) outfit is calling shareholders in AMZ a “serf.”

$25,000 to avoid $11M. What company would turn down that deal? I oversee a large retail/office complex. We pay tax lawyers $20,000 a year to contest the assigned tax value of the property. We have saved our tenants and ourselves millions. You can hate the game but until it changes you cant blame companies for playing…

Oh dear. Okay. I’ll let you be.

Only if you’re going to legislate that influencing supply and demand by bringing a positive economic impact to a community is a wrongful act.

Hey, you brought up the death squads, Mademoiselle Guillotine.

Nah. He’ll be laughing on his way to his moon civilization.

This is the type of article written by someone with zero knowledge of economics. A little basic research would find the building code restrictions prevent new housing causing housing price increases that price out lower income people. Oh, and increase the minimum wage to $15 to price out lower skilled workers. So on…

This article is poorly researched. King County spent $195 Million per year on homeless people in 2017. According the the Seattle Times there are 11,643 homeless people in Seattle. That represents an annual budget of $16+K per homeless person. The reason there are so many people living on the streets is because…

At what point will Socialist zealots such as Kshama Sawant realize, that unlike Pigs, Capital can fly

You should realize that many not rich Seattle residents opposed this tax because we have supported plenty of taxes in the past and they have been mismanaged as fuck. Durkan & co. need to put forth an actual plan FIRST and then we’ll talk money.

This is FAR too simplified. If Katie had looked into it, she would find that the citizens of Seattle have supported so many tax hikes. Now there is a rebellion. Jeff is one vote, not the thousands that signed a petition to revoke the tax.

Donald Trump’s “Art of the Deal” foreign policy:

Thanks for taking the time to let me know how you “dismissed” me.

Its called personal responsibility. This kid was protected until he decided to drive under the influence multiple times, even after he knew he’d be under scrutiny.

No one is losing any sleep over things you post on splinter.

It’s not “the Iowa teen”. It’s “the Mexican national”. He is a Mexican citizen. Stop declaring other countries’ citizens your citizen.

I’m pro-DACA and anti-Trump/GOP but this story doesn’t make me angry at Trump/GOP. Based on his multiple convictions I doubt this story would’ve ended any differently under Obama. I have little sympathy for single DUI offenders, let alone multiple DUIs regardless of their immigration status. I generally think the law…

I always look for the missing piece of the story.

That sucks, I know people consider me an uncaring monster, but having your throat slit is a shitty way to go, much sympathy.

“once turned over [illegal immigrants] are the responsibility of their own government.”
