We are fucked in the state of Washington...

I’m in favor of them getting a return on the money they have lent out, assuming that they are on the hook for the failures. Them charging a vig with zero underwriting and zero risk where they are purely incentivized on volume I’m against. Same with the colleges. You’re getting buried here fyi.

You girls are never shy about declaring victory when you start to sense your arguments are running into trouble.

If you haven't left, leave now.
You're happy. And I'm happy.
Problem solved.
It's a win-win.

Yeah and just leave all my family that lives here. Another lib with practical solutions to common problems. Fuck off.
 
”Sorry that we are fucking you but we need more money because we ran out of the money you gave us last time.”
HH nods in silent agreement and is glad he isn’t 30 years old trying to buy a home and start a family, let alone an SBO just now recovering from COVID.

“Washington has open borders, ma’am!”
Fucking chucklehead
 
They should get ZERO funding. They are private enterprises. Many have endowments that are YUGE! How can the college be that expensive when the government is giving them such a substantial sum.

Well, your generation I can just wait out. Tick, tick, etc.
The younger generations have been killed by this state enough that it's just going to be a matter of undoing this shit.

I think the younger generations face a lot more challenging environment than mine did. The old codgers on this bored routinely ignore the fact, that among other advantages we had, our public college educations were MASSIVELY subsidized by taxpayers. We didn’t ever have crushing student loans. I’m a little unique among the muttering old fuckers here in that I don’t pretend otherwise.
Is Washington especially worse for your generation than other places in the country? As with most things, I suspect the answer depends on your circumstances.

I think the average Gen Z male that is aiming to have a decent salary, a wife that doesn't have to work, at least 2 kids and a starter house is in big trouble in this state. From both policy and soft culture. And even with the shit that millennials had to deal with, there was enough of a path 15 years ago if they weren't a fuckhead.
My starter house in 2012 was a 140k bank repo that required some labor but could be paid off with even a shit salary (which I had at the time).
Now look at what Gen Z is dealing with. Oh awesome both people work and they got their starter home and pay an additional 2-3k for daycare, now let's go ahead and raise taxes or annex the area they live into a bigger city run by money grubbers.
It's totally corrupt and rotten in this state when it comes to producing future productive people here.
 
Olympia doesn’t really want productive people. Those are the entrepreneurs and the upper middle class. They want large corps and wage slavers. That’s the model for employment stability and tax base captivity.

The state house doesn’t give a fuck If you’re originally from Redmond or Mumbai. Mid to High earning wage workers that will pay their taxes without complaining is what they want, but they’d prefer overseas work, provided that they stay here.

Believe me when I say that they’d rather do business with a handful of large corps as opposed to herding cats on 10,000 small businesses and having to cater to the native born 500k-1.5MM a year crowd who actually give a shit about their performance re: public ed and crime.
 
That went about as expected for H.

Oh well, I’m sure it is a big “trial” and all.

HH is long on snark and short on substance, gals.
AOG just seems like kind of a pussy if I’m being honest.

It's the government unions and "non-profits" who don't want the grift to stop. Bob Ferguson wants to cut spending because he wants to either wants a second term or to run for Federal office but Big Government Dems look at every union worker laid off as eroding their donations and voter base's impact.
If we really want to fix things, we would decertify the unions but that would be a tough mountain to climb because they will fight so hard.
The second best thing would be to tax union dues.
 
Bob has no interest in cutting spending. He’s trying to separate himself from crazies. Tax increases are the last resort in the marketing materials. He’s just as crazy as all of them.

He may because he probably can't tax his way out of the mess Dimslee left without risking his political future.
I concede that part of it is hope on my part.
 
At least you admit it is hope. Bob has fought hard as attorney general to allow all sorts of new taxes to go in. I prefer to look at his record.
 
There’s a golf tax too. Can’t let a round go by without a beak wetting.
 
To anyone still living there: Get Out!
Let the hh's of the world make up for your disappearing taxes. Then fight like hell opposing a Fed bail out when these socialist hells go bankrupt.
