We Washingtonians acknowledge the metastasized tumor known as Seattle.

We apologize suggest quarantining your region to prevent the spread of this cancer.

If our Cape Canaveral and Houston bros could do us a solid and take off and nuke the site from orbit it would be sincerely appreciated.

Yours in memetics and trapped behind enemy lines. WaBro

Seattle is fucking cool.

They're progressive AF and their balls are the size of Jupiter.

Fuck Bezos. Fuck Amazon. Fuck capitalism. Fuck Trump.

The city should squeeze Amazon's balls until they scream and put the homeless in charge of regulating their shit.

I'm not even joking

Seattle has the industrial base and the culture to go full socialist with no apologies.

Just because Bezos owns a newspaper that sucks off Democrats doesn't mean the left owes him and his slave factories shit.

Seattle vs bezos is like liberal vs liberal.
These companies pander to liberals too much.I can only sit and laugh watching them burning each other

The day Seattle goes full socialist is the day the entire working class moves to the suburbs, you retarded faggot.

Amazon does a lot of shady shit to get subsidies, so I dont like them for that. That said though Seattle is also retarded.

Christ what a fucking self-righteous faggot.
He even has the beard to complete the look.

This.


I hope leaves Seattle, takes a massive hit in the wallet and has to scramble to relocate elsewhere.

Temper Seattle housing prices, get the Indians out and teach Seattle average liberals to quit being dumb. Best is Bezos brought this upon himself with all his liberal enabling bullshit.

Companies earning more than $20 million will have to pay $500 per employee annually.

It's basically kind a payroll tax

$500 per employee per year city tax on each business in Seattle = Head tax

Haven't they already?

Only SJW upper middle class kids live in $1500 downtown apartment

Bro Houston is pretty damn cucked too, we're only behind Austin in regards to Texas. You'll get no help from us.

Up the head tax to $10k so companies start massive layoff please.

That's not the point, whether you like amazon or not, the point is that there is going to be less developed and therefore less GDP growth when businesses are driven away.

LMAO! you and Trump agree that Amazon needs to be taxed more.

enjoy getting fucked up the ass with taxes, commie.

>somehow still al politically moderate City

I'm seeing more homeless in certain parts and I'm getting worried.

It will convert into 0.7% payroll tax from 2021.

Washington Constitution doesn't allow income tax.So Seattle socialists increase property tax,soda tax and do shit like this

But tax will be on every company making above $20 million.

Why should others pay because bezos got tax deduction by bribing politicians?

>Seattle has the industrial base and the culture to go full socialist with no apologies.
It's like saying that you have enough trees to start a bush fire.

I finally understood why taxes are rising so much. These weak assholes are protected by the State.

One or two centuries ago the guys would have been beaten to death to dare look to somebody else wealth

Don't forget seattle has a $15/hr min wage.

I hope amazon leaves and the city collapses in on itself.

I visited last year. I was surprised by how dirty the dirty part of Seattle is. The amount of homeless...
Portland feels and looks like a left behind town though. And those spaghetti bridges aren't pretty. Doesn't help that everything is vegan.

that's all the same person and around the same date, what is the purpose of this collage

Amazon INCREASES the cities taxes when it builds a headquarters. I hate Amazon, and liberals at that, but they actually did the right thing in stopping Amazon from opening another tentacle. Fuck bezos

Future?

This is the present. And they are not even close to the worst example.

t. Seattle resident

>The city should squeeze Amazon's balls until they
Leave for a similar city.
You should "persuade" a company like Amazon to pump more money out of their own will instead of forcing on them shit tier taxes.

Incentivize them to invest more, hire more, build more, buy more.
Why shouldn't that 500$ go to those who work instead of homeless, diseased scum.

Are they funding Bum Fights 2018?

Yeah I know, just stating that Amazon are corporate welfare whores. Good for Seatle, I hope they enjoy their newfound poverty.

Half those fucker are from CA and migrated when their towns started filling up with hispanics.
t. CA nigga

>$500 per employee
Amazon makes so much money that the tax they’d pay is a rounding error

Back in Roman empire there were special tax on unmarried men and women.Also special tax on orphans and women.

The argument was that in military state women and children must pay money to those who fight for them

lol san francisco 2.0 can suck a dick on its nasty homeless problem. good riddance

>Amazon are corporate welfare whores
They are the worst. Well, Google is the worst right now because it sets the culture, but Amazon is pretty fucking bad, and it is run by a goy. Our elite needs to be eliminated and replaced.

>Back in Roman empire there were special tax on unmarried men and women.
Only during Late Roman empire and under certain emperors, sometimes regions.

You are all missing the fine print:
The mayor is against the deal and can still veto it if it stays at 5:4

Hey those are indians, don't rope us into this shit.

No wonder why do these tech companies pander to liberals.Liberals give them tax credits and then blame conservatives.

Most corporate welfare you will see is in blue states like California,new York,Washington

Liberal politicians play double game.
They act they care about poor just like they pretend they support women but actually they are pedo predators

>what is the purpose of this collage
To provide multiple sources for the story. Posting just one source about the pedophile mayor of a far left city is not enough. Is this concept too difficult for you to grasp?

Fuck commies.

That is the formal wear Of PNW first nations people. They can normally be recognized in a casual setting by the universal wear of tavern jackets by their kind.

Mayor wants $250/employee/year

Whether Amazon gets a shit ton of corporate welfare or not, they are very efficient and do quite a lot to contribute to the GDP in the city. By doing this Seattle is fucking up their city more than it already is.

Only in Seattle that is considered conservative opinion

I hope big companies like Amazon leave so the prices for everything goes down. It's fucking impossible to find a place below $1200/m

CONTACT! WEAPONS FREE

I live in a OK part of CA (Ventura County) and shit is 1500 min for a decent, not-ghetto but not even predominately white apartment complex.

>everything is vegan.
Lol what? Theres vegan options but we eat tons of meat here. Elk, bison, beef, even bear. Good fresh meat is everywhere.

If Amazon goes the loss of revenue will be covered by raising tax on everyone else.

That's what happened to Detroit.
Everything is so cheap in Detroit.

My knowledge of Natives from the PNW is limited I will admit, with the exception of the Inuit / Inupiat and some northern tribes because of studying Alaska. I know a great deal about Eastern US. tribes and Midwest / Plains / Canadian tribes though because my mom took Native American history in college. I got to read all of her books. Did not know that the PNW tribes had head gear like that.

Seattle is a known hub of child sex trafficking and last mayor got uppity and outed.

Well boys, when I’m working in the Amazon headquarters which will now be built in austin, I’ll let y’all know the juicy details.

It’s wouldn’t be a bad idea if it were tax for amazon and ms only. As they importing thousands of underpaid Indians driving wages down and rent up. But lol, most of the cities want to attract companies not squeeze them out, the mayor and all dems are clearly inbred retards.
I guess after they introduce the tax, the amazon would move to Redmond or Bellevue.

Why do Americans on this site love to be slaves?

Where do you live, commiefornia?
Austin has places in the city that are 900/m

wow

LOL

Why the fuck do you people hate Amazon? Why shouldn't a man be able to build profitable business by doing shady but legal practices?

This is why I love my comfy state of Nevada. You idiots come here and blow your money on the strip leaving us with revenue. No need for these dumb taxes you see in liberal ran cities. Also, guns, weed, and gambling. We degenerate as fuck.

Yeah until every other city they operate out of decides to pass a similar tax once they see Seattle doing it. Amazon has to make a strong move against this to prove they can't be bullied or else they're going to be paying hundreds of millions of dollars in new taxes soon.

These retards are so disconnected from reality it's insane. I guess that's liberals.

The 'homeless' problem is never going to end. These 'people' are usually not native to the area. They come from all over the country for free gibs and lax homeless laws. These types of legislation will just see homeless soar even more.

why is amazon even headquartered in Seattle? Surely the midwest or east coast is a better location economically for shipping and is cheaper to base themselves in.

Amazon sells server space to the CIA, pays off old debt with new debt, and effectively controls the Washington Post. Spooks, usury, and the MSM all in one stop.

Washington state has no income tax, so alot of big CEOs live in the state.

It's literally Detroit 2.0

Because California has high income tax.

And Washington is only blue state without income tax.

Only liberal place for Cali liberals to flee

biggest faggot ever

Nationally or just those in Shittattle?

Are men tax double?

It's worse when you look at the horrendous track record the city council has with its initiatives. They can't manage a project to save their lives. Literally every single project they've raised a tax for has gone wildly over budget and finished behind schedule and accomplished none of its goals. The main reason Amazon objects to the tax is because they believed the council was "too incompetent to do anything useful with the money" to quote one of their execs. The mayor himself said that if they do this tax and damage relationships with Amazon and other big companies and then their plan for the money achieves absolutely nothing, they will have destroyed all credibility for themselves.

Getting talented people in the tech industry requires careful positioning. It's common for people to job hop every 2-years or so, and companies can gain talent from transfers.

It actually transitions into a payroll tax after 2 years. Amazon is definitely going to be reassessing its engagement in Seattle now.

It's pretty much the cycle of a liberal city.
Boeing is what really built the puget sound area into what it is today. MS then Amazon came later.

Only Seattle.

It's gotten to the point that if you are under 45 and have a beard, I kind of hate you already. At the very least you are a massive faggot.

Yup.
>get absolutely annihilated on national TV by a neocon
