Question Too:

Could those punk-ass Microsoft employees put down their laptops & lattes long enough to learn how to surf in Cocoa Beach Florida?

I don't think Katie is playing with a full deck

Katie will fuck around and find out

Katie sounds like she's a few fries short of a Happy Meal

Isn't Katie the 43 year old who still receives financial support from her parents?

i think the whole argument that "if you're gonna tax millionaires, they'll just leave" is false. cause leaving has a cost. you just have to tax them so much that the cost of leaving isn't cheaper. cause their assets aren't all liquid. a huge part of it is always invested in physical things that are expensive to re-locate. so i think taxing millionaires is smart. however if you're a millionaire, you're not dumb. you'll probably find ways to avoid taxation.

It all depends on your personality and your convictions. If I lived in the city that didn't appreciate my tax money I would leave no matter what the cost.

[genericname85]

even if leaving would litterally mean you lose 80% of what you have?

These communist types never seem to understand basic economics. They're not just running the millionares to tax out... they're also getting rid of the jobs they provide at the same time... and we know they love to tax the regular wage slaves as well. The tax more-Spend more mindset they have isn't going to end well.

I’ve never once had a boss as pours me. 🤣

Poor as me!

Katie is a communist loon who will learn the hard way. Don't be like Katie. Katie needs a helicopter ride.

[strawberryapple]

They just said on the news five minutes ago that Katie wants to take down all the city cameras in Seattle because they keep catching illegal immigrants doing bad things.

[DonaldDarko]

That mighr work out in a way. No surveillance. We never had that before.

Mamdani is learning the hard way. So will this moron.

[strawberryapple]

Are they able to learn anything?

[jamesgoldman]

Dumb as a box of rocks... still recall my Republican uncle and his wife making spicy bean chilli for the CHAZ... laced with laxatives of course

[strawberryapple]

The mayor at that time welcomed in ANTIFA with open arms. Another box of rocks.

If you going to put a picture of Prime Minister Thatcher in the poll options, I'm voting for the choice with Prime Minister Thatcher every time.

[strawberryapple]

Good choice!

[CaptainSmartass]

Fair. She had bigger balls than all these soy boys today...

Did you really just put “socialist” and “smart” in the same sentence and add a question mark?


Pretty sure anyone with above room temperature IQ would never even consider socialism as nothing more than lunacy

There are other sports besides surfing, like downhill skiing, which is very popular in the Seattle area. But it's quite likely that some of the tech workers are quite good surfers.

Katie is definitely a kangaroo short in the top paddock.

[CaptainSmartass]

Let me put it this way, she'll never be a candidate for Mensa.

Simples...

[strateguy632]

She isn't.

[strawberryapple]

Nope
