I applaud them!
(And laugh my butt off too)
My what an image change for Seattle.
Screeching Third World Leftist angrily demands cash from Americans.
Can’t wait to visit.
Not.
Yeah, break out the popcorn as this should be very entertaining. Let me see now, what was the speed of light again? The downfall ought to be about as fast.
Why do liberals want to enforce the conformity of a “NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE” on everyone in the USA< we should demand “Minimum Wage Diversity” by letting each state set their own state minumunm wage or if they want to get rid of it let them.
A National Minimum Wage is nothign but Conforming tot he orthodoxy....
We demand diversity in deciding minimum wages!!!
Let Seattle sefl-Destruct, leave Texas out of it..
Elections have Consequences.
How fast will 100,000 workers become 50,000 or does the bill also say you can’t lay off or fire workers
GO FOR IT SEATTLE~!!!
WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HOW SUCCESSFUL IT IS AT RAISING YOUR STANDARD OF LIVING
SHOW US THE WAY
Minimum Wage Diversity, Let the States Decide!
Keep your laws off our States!!!!
Time to get Rad-i-cal!
Surely this Most Liberal City on the Left Coast can do better than this paltry $15/hr,! Start at $50/hr. and make everyone rich.
The cost of living in Seattle or Boston is radically different from that in Sioux City or in rural Kentucky.
A national minimum wage makes no sense.
Part of me really, REALLY hopes they do this. It is yet another reason I left there in 2011, after 45 years of putting up with that nonsensical political environment.
I used to watch Norm Rice sleep through council meetings BEFORE he became mayor.
The lady who put the idiot back in Sawant.

The states were supposed to be laboratories where different ideas could be tried out. But you’d think they’d look at all the socialist countries where this has already been done and decided to try something else. Frankly, I’m glad it’s happening there instead of here.
When I was in Seattle about 10 years ago I noticed that every business had this awesome planter full of incredibly beautiful plants. Then, I drove past a concrete yard where concrete trucks were loaded. I hit the brakes and turned around to look at their planter. Here, in front of the dirtiest, ugliest place I’d yet seen, was this awesome planter full of blooming plants. As soon as I got back to the hotel I asked at the desk. The clerk was disgusted. He said that the local government had passed an ordinance requiring these planters. Then, they’d picked the plants and they chose non-native species that died constantly. The hotel was spending thousands keeping their planters going. If you got brown leaves or dead plants you got fined. (They have planter police.)
More power to them. May they fail sooner rather than later. (That’s the nicest thing I can think to write.)
as this kind of crap happens, I expect that liberal places will pass laws which penalize businesses which lay off workers. They will be fined, or have to pay a layoff tax, or have some sanctions put on them.
Long term, smart business people will avoid doing business in liberal places which inhibit business.
No problem. France has this all figured out.
High wages.
Then a mandated 35 hour limit to the work week. O Care brings that down to 29.
Then a mandated month off for holiday every year.
Then a mandate never to fire any worker for any reason.
The rich pay for it all.
And everyone is happy.
Every time I see news like this, Big Dig West, etc., I always say the same thing: Yet another reason why I left that liberal cesspool and more proof that I did the right thing.
BTW, the West Seattle Whole Foods was the first one I ever visited.

Indeed, funny how the libtards love conformity as long as it advanced their comformist..ie communist idealology...
Good, any way we can help them over the cliff? Yes, this is war, destroy them before they destroy us.
