Put a Fork in Seattle

[PJMEDIA] When bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
ers are laughing at your city, you know you’ve made a mistake.

I grew up in the Motor City and I have no sympathy for what used to be Seattle. Detroit’s death was drawn out over years and involved a perfect storm of nonsense, including foolish decisions by auto execs, stupid import/export laws, and a corrupt mayor named Coleman A. Young. Detroit languished. Seattle was executed.

#9  Communism brings quite predictable results. Anarchy does as well. Those that pull the strings for the left wish to use Anarchy as the means to introduce communism.

#8  As mentioned elsewhere: "Don't expect the Dems to change course. To them, this is what 'winning' looks like."

#7  I used to *work* in Downtown Seattle - right around the 3rd and Marion area. I haven't been to the office in 2 years except one day to 'pack up my stuff' so they can clean the office and we go to a hoteling system for back-to-work. Haven't been back yet and don't intend to.
Now I am looking to work semi-remote attached to an office in Austin where I only need to go in a few times a year perhaps. And live in a deep-red area.
All this with my employers blessing. And I'm not the only one.

#6  What makes an ant trap or roach motel work is its attractiveness.

#5  notwithstanding all this, the residential Seattle real estate market is still pretty hot with low inventories and escalating prices

commercial and retail real estate may be a different story

#3  Haven’t spent a dime in Seattle in over 2 years, bailed on long-term membership to 5th Avenue musicals. Refuse to go to Mariner ballgames.
When driving south to visit family, use 405 to avoid Seattledump.
Yeah my actions won’t bankrupt anybody but i know i am not alone. The 5th calls monthly begging our return. Thats what answering machines are for.

Given the disastrous results of Seattle's and other cities under Liberal Socialist Democrat Management/control.

It's amazing they can find enough fools to still vote for them. But I guess since they seem proud they can jimmy up fake election results and steal office(s), waste, or steer $$$ to pockets with impunity. Then well known Mad Mag line comes to mind. "What Me Worry"

#1  Destroying America is their whole plan, duh. This isn't anything they're ashamed of. This is what the left winning looks like.
