Reminder that Republicans don't really believe in religious liberty. Religion is a tool for enhancing their political power, and any expression of faith to the contrary must be suppressed.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Which is very admirable of you, but should not be an expectation of the business to remain sustainable. They are not a charity. If they are charging high prices the quality and value should be worth it!

There are a lot of openings, but it’s mostly increased churn. Lots of places close after 1-3 years and are replaced by new hopefuls. Very few last longer than 5 years.

It’s a combination of everything. Then of course you get into a vicious circle of having to raise prices which lowers sales, etc. If I had the bakery today I would have to more than double prices to afford payroll and ingredient cost increases.

Small, quirky, financially marginal businesses that used to define Seattle neighborhoods are no longer viable. You have to be a major hit (or have deep pockets) or you won’t last more than a year or two. Even big chains are mostly all gone.

They didn’t close immediately since the wage hike was phased in, but many restaurants and retailers are gone now. High minimum wage isn’t the only cause (looking at you outrageously high commercial rents), but it’s a major factor.

The bus stop across the street is just a sign on a telephone pole, wedged between diagonal parking, with no sidewalk. You have to stand out in the street if you want the driver to see you waiting.

One thing that strikes me is just how fake all of our problems related to government are

The filibuster isn't in the Constitution, and every single Framer would be apoplectic that it exists.

The government shutdown was invented in 1980

The 9-justices limit was invented to stop the New Deal

If you guys ever watch footage of those clowns taking people, look how nervous they are even complicit. They KNOW it's wrong. They're twitchy. They're scared. It's in every single motion of their arms, the way they look around their shoulders, and reach for car doors just to hop in and speed away.
