A friend and I were talking about the most important thing, the nonsense tax votes we get to do. You see, there was an initiative once. And now every year people are confused about why we’re voting on this bullshit.
I vote for all of them. The Legislature has already thought about it. The governor has signed it. It’s fine.

There’s a lot of corporate money going to the Seattle City Council races. I get it. Amazon doesn’t want to pay taxes. But they are part of the community. They should pay their share for the problems that their growth in the city has caused.
Did you watch the Democratic debate? Do you have a sense of how Tom Steyer’s Presidency would be?
What I’m saying is we should have only my preferred candidates. And better questions than “what jerks are you friends with?”

My phone is almost out of juice and I can’t find my charger. So short post from me, so I can close the WordPress app on my phone.
