I can’t tell if you’re being deliberately obtuse, or are really misunderstanding me. Having developers go bankrupt isn’t sustainable.

Well crap, now we have to keep an eye on this too.

This is not good

The story is actually worse than the headline. The ex-GOP official worked in Missouri with Ed Martin.

Come on people! We all know that even if we do have the pets to impeach, remove & arrest his traitorous ass, it will be another January 6th to get him out the door. He knows he’s going to jail!

Guess my Senator needs another call to explain why for me.

Important to know, since you seem to not remember the good ol’ days were really just good for white guys. Particularly the rich ones.

We’re on the same team here. I want affordable housing like you do. I pitched the idea of rezoning to allow for tiny houses when I lived in Colorado. And they did redone several areas to accommodate that, but again it was all horizontal building, not vertical.

ttaylor36.bsky.social @ttaylor36.bsky.social · 3h

Seattle has a lot of steep hills not suitable for building. Or in flood plains.

ttaylor36.bsky.social @ttaylor36.bsky.social · 3h

You do realize that business model is unsustainable right? I’m happy that folks needing housing benefited, but still not sustainable.

Good place to start. And term limits for everyone, including judges.

Our Constitution has some serious design flaws to let one man destroy our country like this.

We need an amendment:
• Proportional, rather than district, representation.
• One branch cannot delegate its powers to another.
• Lower the bar for impeachment and conviction.
• No one should have immunity.

CEOs were paid 281x as much as a typical worker in 2024.

The Trump-Republican big ugly bill not only cut taxes for CEOs, it also included a tax break that allows corporations to write off the cost of private jets faster.

Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 22h

A majority of the 500 biggest U.S. companies now pay for their CEOs to fly on private jets.
