At Cap Hill station this afternoon I was wearing a black jean jacket and a space shirt. You asked me "does this train go to Westlake?" seconds before the doors closed as I was getting off. I had been all over via the train today and in that split moment, my brain was not functioning properly as to which train I was getting off of. So I said "think so!" and you eagerly thanked me and got on. Seconds after the train pulled off, I realized what I had done 😭

Hopefully you didn't go all the way to Lynnwood before you realized that this stranger fucked you over. I'm so sorry bud, I'm kind of a moron and also I may have been a little stoned. oops

I've noted while I'm out and about in the North end of Seattle, Edmonds and Kenmore that police vehicles are parked near store entrances just about every night. Safeway, Dollar Tree, etc. Right now I'm parked in a Safeway.parking lot watching 2 police officers search a person that rolled a full shopping cart full of store merchandise.

Edit* They apparently arrested that person, now In handcuffs.

I hope these stores don't go the way of lake city Fred Meyer and close permanently.

Edit #2 The person has been arrested for theft of a very large quantity of over the counter medicines and is in process of being taken to jail. The store is pressing charges.

Federal data shows the tech giant filed for over 3,000 foreign worker visas as it cuts thousands of American jobs. About 500 people in Seattle area will lose jobs.

A repeat of what happened with Microsoft.

More than half of the members of Congress are millionaires. Members’ net worth has grown significantly faster than that of the typical American household since at least 2004, with Congress seeing positive median annual gains while median household wealth fell over that same span.

Washington’s U.S. Representative Suzan DelBene has a net worth of over 140 million. Her net worth has more than doubled since she was elected to office. Not attacking her or anyone else for being rich. The point is something larger and more troubling. Congress no longer reflects the American people. It does not resemble the government "of the people, by the people, for the people" that Abraham Lincoln envisioned. And in a world where mega-corporations and the people who run them wield enormous money, power, and influence over our political system, we must remain vigilant. We must demand that our representatives are working for us not for corporate donors.

Many have expressed serious concern about the substantial donations Representative DelBene has received from corporate affiliated political action committees. Compared to other Democrats in Congress, the volume of corporate money flowing to her campaign is significantly higher. That warrants scrutiny, and voters deserve answers.

Artificial intelligence will massacre  many jobs in the tech sector. The tech jobs that remain should not be filled with foreign workers. Companies cannot be allowed to cut American workers and import foreign workers at the same time.

There will still be a large amount of job loss in the tech sector. The government needs to help people move into uniquely human jobs .

Kincaid’s strategy to end homelessness . Will create thousands of uniquely human jobs. Jobs that are not easily replaced by AI . Such as addiction counselors , psychiatrists , nurses, social workers and other staff.

Hi everyone!

In the next coming weeks I’ll be vacationing in Seattle. From Friday to Tuesday. I’m coming here to find out what kind of things should be seen. We’ll be staying in a hotel close to downtown and I have expressed wanting to check out the aquarium (though I’ve been told the one at the zoo is better). The spouse has said he wants to know good seafood spots (also ramen joints to check out). If anyone has any affordable suggestions for restaurants and things to do while we’re there I’d love to hear them! Thanks so much!

My partner and I are currently homeless in the Auburn area, and we have no vehicle and no income right now. Is there anything anyone can do to help us out? The biggest help would be a vehicle. We have very few belongings and have no water or food with us. Is there any one who can help?
