@alt_w_v_g New higher quality dishwasher is less than $1K. Those warranties are kind of a scam IMO. Unless you need to put your mind at ease.

The dishwasher broke My wife said "good thing we have the home warranty" I said nothing I've been paying $62 a month for three years for this moment $2,232 for the peace of mind that when something breaks someone will come to the house and tell me it's not covered I called 47 minutes on hold They sent a technician Arrival window: Tuesday through Thursday between 8am and 5pm My analyst delivers faster than that And he still hasn't fixed the gridlines He showed up Wednesday at 4:47pm Looked at the dishwasher Opened the door Closed the door Touched something underneath Said "not covered" 90 seconds That's faster than my bank lets me prove I'm human I said "what's covered" He said "the motor" I said "what's wrong with it" He said "not the motor" I said "convenient" He said the service fee is $75 I paid a man $75 to open my dishwasher, close my dishwasher, and say two words My analyst could do that And he's not even that good I called the warranty company back 38 minutes on hold Requested the policy 129 pages I read all 129 pages Because that's what I do The coverage section is 34 pages The exclusions section is 58 The business model is right there In the margins Where nobody reads Except me Page 91 says "all mechanical and electrical components essential to appliance function are covered under standard service" Page 104 excludes control panels A control panel is an electrical component essential to appliance function Their own document contradicts itself 13 pages apart I highlighted both Sent them an email Subject line: "Plz fix. Thx." Attached both pages No other context Took them three days to send a technician Took them 4 hours to call me back when I found the loophole Funny how that works They covered the repair Waived the $75 And I canceled the warranty anyway Because a contract that contradicts itself isn't a contract It's a suggestion My wife said "so we're canceling" I said "we're canceling" She said "and the dishwasher" I said "fixed. They're covering it." She said "how" I said "I read the policy" She said "all 129 pages" I said "the exclusions section starts on page 47. The coverage section ends on page 34. There are 13 pages between them where they hoped nobody would look." She looked at me Then she said "you're unbelievable" I said "I just saved us $744 a year and got a free dishwasher repair. I'm not unbelievable. I'm thorough." She looked at the ceiling The dishwasher works now The warranty is canceled And the policy has been read By at least one person Probably the first Make common sense common again Plz fix. Thx.

@RyanDivish @AaronLevine_ Now let’s Goooo!

A statement from Randy Arozarena: "I understand that with Opening Day a few days away, I don’t want it to be a distraction. Cal and I have talked and I apologized for what I said after the game. Nothing in the WBC takes away from the fact that we are brothers and teammates. He’s family, and we are both focused on helping the Mariners win the World Series."

The longer I work in corporate, the more I realize People get rewarded for being Visible, not Valuable

@BrockHuard And he is allowed by ownership to run this type of ship. Super intelligent guy, great leadership qualities and smart enough to only go to work in the right situation

Of all the attributes that make Mike Macdonald a Super Bowl champ, I admire this about him immensely He doesn’t have a bunch of Mike Macdonald’s on staff He doesn’t have Yes Men. He loves competing personalities & opinions Any business & leader would be wise to learn this

@jwhittenbergK5 The housing market will drop and millions of middle class folks lose their equity.

What would happen in Seattle if all the mega-rich moved away?

@SeahawkNerd 💯💯

Kenneth Walker: 3 years, $45M Rashid Shaheed: 3 years, $51M There's a good argument that Shaheed's presence had more to do with Seattle's success in the run game down the stretch than Walker's. Add in the kick returns, and I think the Seahawks made the right call here.

@Mitch_Seattle Yes he would and that’s why he is the Exec of the Year

Basically 3 years - $15M per season. John Schneider would run the ball HIMSELF before giving Walker that contract.

@hawkmania4 Need to respect their past contributions and give them props. Also, need to move on and embrace youth. We are either continuing to improve or get worse. Let’s go continue to improve!

I saw people suggest we bring back Bobby Wagner. Uh. Where would we put Ernest Jones and now Drake Thomas? Bobby Wagner is a starter still. He wouldn't fit the mold here. I also saw people suggest we bring back Will Dissly? Uhhh? Where would we put him? We have AJ Barner, Elijah Arroyo, Brady Russell [frankly a better blocker than Dissly] and Nick Kallerup [also a better blocker]. No, thanks to both

@SeahawksForever If CK could spend the offseason working on RS routes and hands, it could be huge!

IF we lose Shaheed, some will say it's a mistake to have kept Kupp and his cap hit instead. That's an absolutely valid opinion, although one I'm not certain I share. It's one of those types of debates that no one will be able to answer, truthfully, until after the season.

@BrockHuard @Seahawks Thank you BH - gotta love how fans like to spend OPM (Other People’s Money) 🤣

Hey @Seahawks fans, R-E-L-A-X Schneider & crew know what they are doing. Yes, they will need to let multiple starters walk in order to extend JSN & Spoon. Prioritization is the reality of the Cap. John has two rings now b/c he never rests, never settles & knows how to build

@hawkmania4 He built a SB team, you would think that he knows how to effectively run a team. Give him some slack 12s

Seeing those outside spectators and, of course, inside spectators saying that #Seahawks John Schneider is making a mistake by allowing Kenneth Walker to test free agency. First off, Schneider does this ALL. THE. TIME. He allows players to test free agency and let them see what their value is. Secondly, we don't tag down here. Been a thing since Frank Clark refused to play, which is why we traded him. Schneider also doesn't believe in it that much. Lastly, we don't know what is going on behind closed doors unless they pull a Geno Smith and start posting LeBron James gifs all the time and deleting social media pictures on IG, lol.

@PEoperator Open one and then do it!

Coffee shops should have a separate line for those of us who just want black coffee.

@WallStreetApes Washington State has become further left than MAGA is right. This state’s leadership believes that they have as close to authoritarian power as possible, continuing to test their theories…and get affirmed via elections. The time is past due for balance, here and nationally

Washington State resident speaks out against Democrats pushing through their income tax He says Democrats are only holding a public hearing as “theater” “Here for 5 generations. My family has been paying taxes here in Washington State, and I think we need to be honest about what this hearing this morning truly is. It has been proven multiple times that this is the most unpopular bill in Washington state here history. Regardless of how testimonies are stacked and alleged, duplicate registers are tallied. If this bill passes the committee, it will be exposed what we already know and that this hearing was just theater. We are not here today to beg you or convince you not to pass this bill. We are here to test you to see if you truly believe that your power supersedes the will of the people. If we are proven correct, which I hope we are not, then our democracy and our republic are gone, and what we have truly entered is an authoritarian state and to the authoritarians, the people are just peasants who fund the rule and reign of the elites.“ If Democrats pass this income tax on millionaires, it will be applied to everyone within a couple short years

@rorofosho_ @LARamsey46 In Seattle

@LARamsey46 Hopefully coop comes back home to coach when he’s done playing

Puka back in the lab with Coop 😭

@TheGeorgePu 💯 accurate and the reviews are truly a check the box activity

Your performance review was written before the meeting. You're not being evaluated. You're being informed. Your manager already had a calibration meeting where they were told how many people can get each rating. The review isn't about your work. It's about fitting you into a budget.

@misfitpatriot_ You are correct saying that it’s a cost of doing business and not directly a tax on the American people. The cost of doing business increases will eventually be passed along to the consumer. This is why tariffs are like a tax to the people and why inflation has not yet skyrocket

Let’s debunk the whole “tariffs are a tax on Americans” talking point. A tariff is a “tax” on the IMPORTER of goods to the U.S. which means by definition, it is NOT a tax on Americans, its an additional fee in the form of a percentage added on to the cost of the product being shipped into this country. Essentially, it’s the cost of doing business. As stated in the latest SCOTUS ruling, the president has the authority to impose tariffs on goods through multiple avenues. This authority was given to him by congress in 1922, 1934, and 1974 through different pieces of legislation. Tariffs are paid to the U.S. by the country importing the goods, and they are collected by customs and border protection. The money then goes into the treasury, and is added to the general pool Congress uses to allocate for funding the military, Medicare, etc. In 2025, Trumps tariffs brought in 287 BILLION dollars. So, why do people say they’re a tax on Americans when they’re clearly a tax on other countries who import goods into America? The answer is simple, they’re lying to you. What these liars are implying is because the cost of goods will go up for a country like China, THEY will raise their prices and charge American companies who buy the product more, which they will then roll over to the consumer, and they claim that is essentially you being “taxed”. This is like calling the rise in price of a lobster based on season a “tax”. When in reality it’s just market value fluctuating due to mitigating factor. The part none of these talking heads will tell you is tariffs hurt the importer way more than it will ever affect the consumer. If we charge China a 15% mark up, and they try and recoup 100% of that by passing it to the receiver in America, they’ll just find a new supplier that isn’t so expensive or make their product in America and avoid tariffs all together. Retailers will never raise prices to the point where they lose customers. Nobody is gonna pay 15% more for something that was 15% cheaper the day before. What most businesses will do when we start imposing tariffs on other countries is build their product in America. That creates jobs, manufacturing, and over time, LOWERS the cost of goods across the board because now we have a competitive market instead of a market reliant on cheap shit from countries with no quality control and slave labor. Tariffs aren’t a tax on Americans, they’re a tool to incentivize American exceptionalism, and put America first over the countries who have been ripping us off by stealing our production, innovation, and manufacturing, and then selling it back to us for 10 cents on the dollar.

@JoeKennewick One party state government

@JoeKennewick The #1 problem with a one part government

Having no income tax in Washington State has always been one of the single biggest reasons that people move here. This new income tax will kick that advantage to the curb and a whole lot of good people are going to leave. Another big issue is that no one trusts our government to ever do anything that actually benefits Washingtonians.

@nicksortor *bears the cost…

@nicksortor Uhhh… who beats the costs of these tariffs again? It’s not the foreign governments Nick

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: The US Supreme Court has just STRUCK DOWN President Trump’s tariff authority, 6-3 SCOTUS just WRECKED our country. One of the biggest economic comebacks in world history just got thrown in the incinerator. What a shame.
