Disclaimer: Amazon is my employer, thoughts on the article my own. The agenda in the article is the head tax currently being debated and fought in Seattle city council. This is absolutely a hit piece that sounds very much the same as what has been in the local papers. The glaring issue not mentioned in the article is that Seattle already spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year for homeless services and the reason no one wants to give the city more money is because the homeless situation is so insanely bad given the money they have spent. Money is not going to fix the problem. I’m also biased because I got punched in the head by a homeless person on the way to/from work and that fact alone is not enough to de-anonymize me. Right now there is a man screaming “fuck” at the top of his lungs at 8am, the same person who last week I saw punching a car trying to pull out of a parking spot. If the city could promise a genuine solution other than just shrugging these crimes off, I promise you everyone living in Seattle city limits would support that tax. Unfortunately, the problem continues to get worse not better. |
