Why would a Seattle person be speaking about a Seattle company on an issue concerning Seattle be using the failing New York Times as an intermediary?
The NY Post
Because, like it or not, the NYT is very powerful. Joe Biden was told by the NYT to give up his bid to be re-elected, and he did.
And Tagline is still accurate.
Why? Because the people behind the 'democrat/commie movement aren't that smart.. Starbucks is one example - another is grocery stores in New York.
