Monday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 4/29/24, 7:59 am

Look.. I wanted to report on the new light rail line on the Eastside. It looks great. Can’t wait for it to be properly connected. But instead, the Seattle City Council are being fuckos.

I mentioned the Sara Nelson sponsored bill to repeal the gig workers protections in the last open thread. But The Stranger had one detail that stood out to me. “Her law undermines enforcement by eliminating penalties on companies who fail to pay workers, denying them the right to sue companies for breaking the law and cutting provisions that protect workers against retaliation.”

Wage theft is a huge problem. A quick Google didn’t turn up much recent info, but this post from 2018 has information from the Economic Policy Institute that has it as by far the largest form of theft. And the City Council, specifically Councilmember Nelson, ran on being tough on crime. Yet here they are making it easier to get away with it.

Tough on crime, my ass.

Friday!

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 4/26/24, 8:36 am

– Burien, what are you doing?

– Seattle’s Transportation Plan passed the City Council nearly as proposed. Seattle Bike Blog has the details.

– And speaking of the City Council, I wish if they were going to move this quickly to repeal worker protection for gig workers, they would have had the decency to campaign on it.

– New humpback calf, your argument is irrelevant.

– Please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. If you haven’t yet, better late than never.

Wednesday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 4/24/24, 8:26 am

I have taken my bike or my feet over many foot and cycle bridges. And, I try to be grateful for it, but it can be… hit and miss. Some of them do a great job and many are scary and unsafe.

That said, the one that opened in Redmond looks like its a good one. It’s important to have methods of transportation other than a car around transit stations. Still, it looks like it goes over 14* lanes of highway; If you want to get people out of their cars, there’s a way to go.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

* The picture wasn’t of the road, so maybe 14. 14ish.

Allegedly, Allegedly, Allegedly. Jonathan Choe punched a woman. You know, in the course of fake reporting for the fake think tank The Discovery Institute. I assume the people who keep propping up this fake think tank, who invite members to speak on panels or shows, people who donate to it, people who site their obvious bullshit like it deserves to be part of the conversation, are at least neutral to this if they continue their support.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Gosh, I don’t know. Maybe lowering the standard for hiring police from whatever this is is a bad idea. I know it’s tough to find recruits right now. But maybe, just maybe, there’s a way to hire better people.

Of course, I am referring to one of my bugbears, disarm most police. Think of the pool of people who might want to be a cop but who don’t want to carry. Maybe some of them are security guards now and don’t want to make that leap.

It would also probably make policing better. Fewer deadly interactions. Probably make some civilians less nervous around the police.

– And hey, let’s make the transition levy better for trips that aren’t by car.

– Given what she wants to do with it,, it’s probably a blessing that Ann Davison is bad at her job (second item).

Wednesday Afternoon Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 4/10/24, 4:33 pm

Is this an experiment, or was I working from home because of an early meeting and forgot about it? Who can say?

Annnnnnyway.

I mentioned a while back, that Washington is one of the states in a pilot program to be able to file your taxes online if you take the standard deduction. I finally filed mine yesterday. I have to say it was easier than Turbo Tax, where I have used the free version in the past, but I did spend more time proving my identity. And it still asked more questions that are presumably in an IRS database somewhere already.

I will probably use it again next year if it’s still being offered.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
