Determinist

“Seattle’s mayor inherited her father’s bad science. Now you’re living with the policy.”🙃

@DivestSPD @ChrisDaniels_TV This is one thing I’ll agree with you on. Yet the gun grabbing Karens that form the voting base of the WA Dems are convinced that 7 people out of a city of millions constitutes an “epidemic”.

People are roasting Katie Wilson over this, but the premise of @ChrisDaniels_TV's question is false. Gun violence isn't "rising." YTD shots fired incidents continue to trend downward under Wilson.

@cruickshank @jesseproudman @MayorofSeattle What basic human rights are you referring to that they don’t have there?

@jesseproudman @MayorofSeattle So, red states. Must be nice to be able to move there without having to worry about basic human rights. I guess they don’t have daughters or LGBTQ kids? Probably not planning on trying for kids at all if they’re moving to red states. Which is fine, I don’t judge.

Had dinner tonight with 8 entrepreneurial couples. Every single one is moving. Good bye @MayorofSeattle. You’re the nail in the coffin of Seattle and you will be memorialized for it.

@ewarren Yes, and I really hope he does.

Did you know that Donald Trump could appoint two more Supreme Court Justices?

@PramilaJayapal You’ve never worked a real job in your life.

@BranPuffin @hannahkrieg Whatever you say, lol.

@print2cell @hannahkrieg Actually I have access to and make regular use of objective reality. Way better than tilting at windmills and being impotently angry over bullshit You’re not rich. The people who are wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire, no matter how much fealty you try to express

What is an entrepreneurial couple and why should I care if they leave? Not tryna be rude just don't really understand why the feelings of these people on policy that has not happened or been proposed should scare me???

@BranPuffin @hannahkrieg Cool, and you just have nothing.

@print2cell @hannahkrieg You have nothing but slogans and myths

@cruickshank @hannahkrieg Call them what you want, but they are entrepreneurs who have started companies in our region, created good jobs here, donated to non-profits here, and paid plenty of taxes. I’m sure all you geniuses will be better off without them though.

@print2cell @hannahkrieg “Driven to move away” Are these entrepreneurs or snowflakes?

Explain to me slowly what Katie Wilson has passed that would drive entrepreneurial couples out of Seattle

@BridgesSisco @hannahkrieg Yeah, the one that started here and is moving its HQ to a different state.

@print2cell @hannahkrieg Excuse me, is the "local" company being boycotted Starbucks by any chance? Cause that's fucking hilarious

@cLIntCapelaFC @hannahkrieg If it’s so low, why don’t you give us 7% of yours? People have other choices.

@print2cell @hannahkrieg Sure. But the capital gains tax is only 7% on income exceeding 278k. That’s seriously fucking low dude. We’re talking single digit %s here. The whining, bitching, and moaning, is unreal!!! “Any reasonable tax rate is bolshevism” is such lazy bullshit from hacks like sergey brin

@cLIntCapelaFC @hannahkrieg They are not delusional. Building a company often involves working for years for below market pay. If it is successful, then selling a business could incur a large income in a single year, but really it is making up for those years before it.

@hannahkrieg @print2cell Literally what taxes??? Washington has no income tax on your first MILLION dollars, still! I’m from georgia and even there, ppl have to pay 5% income. But WA hikes up sales taxes, sugar taxes, other regressive taxes instead. WA is still so regressive, are these ppl delusional?

@hannahkrieg There are rich people who want to build another new business. And there are people who want to take a risk and build something new for the chance to build wealth. Driving either of these out of the region is counterproductive.

@print2cell who? I don't know these 8 people. Being "entrepreneurial" doesn't mean they are rich. This just seems like an irrelevant anecdote

@hannahkrieg Still waiting for the other shoe to drop with her. But the progressives at the state level are doing plenty to drive away entrepreneurs without any help.

Had dinner with 8 entrepreneurial couples and they said Katie Wilson has not proposed let alone passed any anti business policy yet as mayor so they don't really feel the need to have a super emotional reaction yet...

@DivestSPD Don’t stop there. Let’s bust up all the government employee unions. SEIU is the largest political contributor in the state, ahead of all corporations, and WEA is not far behind.

For once, we’d like to see cities use Starbucks tactics on cops. Oh yeah, you wanna unionize? You want higher wages. Guess what. We’re closing the whole department

@GovBobFerguson You are literally scheming to take some of the pennies we earn, claiming that our income isn’t our own property.

When you go to work, 2 things should happen: You should get every penny that you've earned, and your workplace should be safe. It's our mission as a state to create, maintain, and enforce the safest work environments possible. We'll continue to do that work to honor the memory of the individuals we recently recognized at Labor & Industries' Worker Memorial Day.

@AGOWA You claim that workers’ income isn’t their property. Cut the crap about supporting our rights when you are scheming to take our earnings.

Protecting worker rights is core to the work we do at the Attorney General’s Office.

@JonathanRoss321 Those engineers would take the blame when the code didn’t work. Now it’s your problem.

For 50 years, software engineering ran on code rationing. Writing code was expensive, so we rationed it carefully through roadmaps, RFCs, prioritization meetings, and scope reviews. This created a role: the No Engineer. No, that won't scale. No, we don't have bandwidth. No, that's out of scope. No, we need a design doc first. The No Engineer was valuable for 50 years. Every "no" saved real money. Their judgment was the rationing system. LLMs will be the end of code rationing. Code is cheap now. And while the No Engineer is explaining why something can't be done, the Yes Engineer has already shipped three versions of it. If you're a Yes Engineer, the next decade is yours.

@hannahkrieg Just need to rename them “spaces for centered conversations about data”.

BREAKING: Seattle City Council Members announced they will introduce an emergency, year long moratorium on the siting of new data centers
