Not to be too political......but.......

How is it the people who live in Washington/Oregon/California can't see that overtly Democratic policies are failing and failing tragically.

The homeless/drug use issues in these states is out of control.

I just don't understand how these states keep voting for the left, when socialism has caused nothing but abject failure in those states.

(Gets down off his soapbox.....)
Washington, Oregon, and California are all capitalist econnomies with California recently surpassing the United Kingdom to become the world's 5th largest econonmy. So, the states are neither socialist nor tragically failing. They're just struggling with the same problem facing the rest of America. The middle class is fading out of existence and as a result people are more often choosing a life of street ampthetimines and/or opiates.

I think the Republican strategy would probably involve sweeping the streets and throwing all the junkies in jail. I can see why people would vote against that approach.

I like the way you said 'People are choosing a life of....' Yes, it's their choice to be non-productive, non-contributing members of society and have chosen to be unmotivated and chosen to be users of drugs. It's a much easier life to do nothing, take drugs and collect whatever welfare assistance they can get than to actually do any work hard, and increase their standard of living. The Republican strategy in reality is "Get a job...work hard...make something of yourself and contribute to society." It's always much easier and convenient to be a victim and sponge off family, neighbors, the streets and take drugs. Like you said, it's a choice.

And my main question still remains.

Washington, Oregon and California are Democrat bastions (firmly entrenched in Democratic policies, whether socialist or not).

These states are leading the charge of transients, drug use and many other social issues.

And you're right, California has a very strong economy, so why aren't people choosing to work and get themselves out of their situation? hmmm......

I think I have an educated guess, but I'll let you answer that one.

Maybe they should have a huge homeless camp inside the Key. No commute at all!!!!
This is a brilliant idea. We'll need some sort of a lottery system to get in. The best will be a shared needle program where random needles provide you entrance to the camp. It should definitely be courtside seating. And there should be state sponsored heroin injections both pregame and between halves or periods. Let some Alice in Chains rip through the speakers. The team name should be the Seattle Junkies, and they can just put a big picture of Cobain's face on the jersey.
Yeah, but what happens when everyone starts throwing used needles onto the ice rather than dead fish?

BTW, are you really Daniel Vogelbach, and, if so, how did you find this forum? And how do you feel about not getting invited to the home run derby?
My guess it that it is SeaFreak.

Lenny Wilkens to have a street near the Key named after him: https://twitter.com/ChrisDaniels5/statu ... 1763954688

Apparently, it was OVG's idea. Definitely a nice gesture, but an even better one would be bringing the Green and Gold back: https://twitter.com/AaronQ13Fox/status/ ... 8575851520

Totally agree with Aaron said. They better be damn well ready should either a team or expansion becomes available. They got the NHL here, now finish the job and bring the Sonics back.

this is six months old, maybe it was posted already, posing the question, why is the NBA so slow in granting an expansion franchise to Seattle? Proffers that its more valuable being used as a threatened relocation target for cities slow to build new arenas for their own franchises

Yep, Seattle is better used as leverage to other NBA cities who need new arenas. In which I've heard "Leverage" as a possible name for the NHL team here.

If the NBA wants to remain in small market, one horse towns, let them. And they wonder why a majority of their teams are losing money. Not to mention OKC is about to become another struggling small market franchise and I just feel really awful about that :mrgreen: :P :lol: ;)

Bold statement by OVG: https://twitter.com/ChrisDaniels5/statu ... 3135118336
From the guy overseeing a project that was guaranteed to be done by late summer 2020 but now is on track for "sometime" during the summer of 2021. lol
