Gas jumped another 10 cents a gallon from Thu to Fri.  The carbon tax is taking effect.   Gas prices in states around us are going down.  Ours are going up.

I truly feel sorry for the sane people caught up in that disfunction state.

Yeah, I hear you.   Cops cannot chase bad guys by state law.   They can steal a car in front of the cops and they cannot give chase because that is not a violent offense.   I kid you not.   As a result, car thefts are at an all time high and so are the amount of people not stopping for cops when they put their lights on.  

Police will not arrest shoplifters if they have less than $125 of stuff.  Woke prosecutors let them go.

Overall crime is up and violent crime is up because due to defunding police and continuing the firing of police and other folks for not having taken the jab, there is not enough personnel to do much anymore.   And with the lack of prosecution, there is no point anymore. 

They hammer on law abiding gun owners regarding gun violence but do nothing about those that have and use them illegally.

It is a crazy place for sure.   And now the local King County (Seattle is within King County) homeless outfit wants only 12 Billion to solve homelessness.   Billions have been spent already and the problem has only gotten worse.   Tent cities are all over the place and homeless are passed out on the street in their fecal matter and other waste high on heroin or fentanyl.  It is more merciful, for our local politicos, to allow this rather than get these people into treatment to resolve their addiction.  

Everything is backwards here.   It is really a weird place and that happened in the last 20 years.  Before that it was one of the most livable cities in the country.  Not anymore.   Liberals in Seattle and King County have successfully ruined the area for years to come in just a few short years.
