The lesson:

If you have a trillion dollars at your disposal (and blackmail material on the politicians) "You have a voice". :-(

They are Poor Politicians to not recognize who runs them.

Don’t be lulled to sleep. They’ll be back, spurred on by the socialist on the council. The left is never satisfied.

Hey you commies...check this out! An evil corporation putting its boot on the necks of the oppressed. Again.

If the left weren’t so serious about screwing up the world, it would be a joke.

“We heard you,” Durkan and seven of the nine city council members said in a statement.

Yeah, we heard you. But we just ignored you.

Billionaire marxists think that YOU should be paying more in taxes, not them.

I thought the Socialists loved taxes. What’s the problem?

The city officials forgot who pays the taxes and faced ballot-box rejection and folded. Sadly, they’re still determined and will find another way to get this money. What they should instead do is wake up and realize the citizens of their community do not want to throw more money away on the homeless and these do-gooder endeavors that don’t really fix anything.

We are wealthy, uber-leftists. Taxes are not for us; taxes are for the little people.

Did Seattle just grow a brain? I hear San Francisco is moving their homeless to “settlements” to clean up the streets. Who’s next to grow some neurons, Los Angeles?

If anyone thinks that dime one of that tax money would have gone to the “homeless” rather than crazy liberal projects and fatcat liberal donors and politicians, I have a bridge over Puget Sound to sell you.

Good, but bezos still voted for the leftists who wanted this law, and will vote for them in the future.

Notice they didn’t collect $$$ to remove the politicians who did this.

The best part is that the city council members that voted to repeal the tax, will probably be voted out of office for folding, for not being progressive enough.

Remember that libs are nothing if not spiteful.

Amazon had less to do with the reversal as did the grassroots citizenry revolt to overturn the ruling with an initiative.

For those who don't know, the Seattle city council has mismanaged 10's of millions of dollars already and things have only gotten worse.

More vagrants, more crime, more open drug use and public urination and defecation.

Even liberal Seattle citizens were getting sick of major funds going wasted.

7/9 counsel members are up for reelection next year and I doubt any of them will get reelected.

It's a beautiful thing.
