But you can be certain they still support leftist policies.

When Goodwill - of all places - complains about theft...

...the state of the economy is truly precipitous...

and

...one wonders who they support politically tomorrow.

/s

Side note: Anyone else notice how high Goodwill et al prices are post-virus? Talk about price-gouging. /s/s

And those used to be nice areas in Seattle. Too bad Seattle decided to go Commie.

I’m in Wakulla, Fl. In Crawfordville there’s a small Goodwill outlet. I’ve found some amazing deals. I didn’t buy it, but they had an entire collection of hand-blown glass bottles, some of which were at least two hundred years old. Three bucks apiece. I’ve bought some amazing furniture. I don’t own any “new” furniture. People come in and say, “Wow! Nice decor.”

There appear to be only two types of shoppers. Those who are one step away from homeless and people driving hundred-plus thousand-dollar vehicles.

The average people, economically speaking, apparently shop full retail. They’re not economically literate.

It was predictable.

Once you looted and plundered the dollar stores, what’s next?

A non-profit selling donations, I guess.

I lived in Seattle 200-2008. There was a McDonald’s downtown Seattle on I think 3rd Ave new Pioneer Square. It started open 6am to midnight like most McD’s, then went to 11am to 5pm because late afternoon/evening hours were just too problematic with homeless, vagrants, malcontents, crime. Those hours became problematic and they hired security. 4-5 year ago is just gave up and closed.

Last I heard the Seattle police Dept is 375 officers short of full staff, lowest in 30 years. Unsurprisingly due to morale and lack of support from the Mayor and an openly opposed libral City Counsel.

Wife has liberal friend in Seattle who can’t take it anymore and is moving from the home she spent years fixing up. No word on whether her voting preference will change but I doubt it.

If you’ve decided to steal, why steal from the Goodwill? With just about as much effort and risk you can steal from Bloomingdale’s or Macy’s.

Goodwill Stores are a fake charity to raise money for the Board Members. Take a look at the salaries of the “family” that controls them in some states.

Here in Florida we love our Goodwills ... and our cops. Nothing is locked up. There are zero "homeless encampments" (which are nothing more than vagrants and addicts). No tents, no beggars. Desantis recently signed more anti-squatters legislation.

We have a good responsible governor and it shows.

I guess Jack Reacher will just have to scratch Seattle off his list for a visit in his travels since he only gets his clothes from thrift shops.
