Hi there bray,
Great essay today, as usual!
I’m doing well, Bray -thanks! Hope you are, too.
Well, you probably heard, Seattle just voted in their first Socialist (Communist) to the City Council. Heard her interviewed on the radio the other day - talk about wacko birds! I think she won because she is proposing a $15 minimum wage (which was approved by voters in Sea-Tac - - small suburb outside Seattle where the major airport is, along with various parking lots, hotels,restaurants, etc., etc.). As all/most FReepers know, a $15 minimum wage will not help the economy in any way whatsoever.
Luckily, I live across the big pond (Lake Washington), so, while we have some impact, I think there are less liberals here than in the big city (except those that voted for Susan DelBenne). I have Dave Reichert for a Rep, best we can do here for now.
Doing well. We stopped Light Rail in our section of town and are having a vote come March on it. Thinking of doing something which will really shake up the state, but it is a timing thing.
