    Texas still has plenty of room for factories.

    The Seattle city council wants to cut the police budget by 50%.

    We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.

Really, they have nothing to lose..There’s plenty of other states who would be willing to cut deals on taxes, etc, and would welcome them with open arms..
    So far they've not given any indication that production could move. Actually, I don't think they're producing enough aircraft to even considerate it. No production hangups now.

    You could probably build some in those oil fields now.

    People will be leaving that city in droves if they aren't already.

    Imagine there's no police force,
    It isn't hard to do,
    No CHAZ or CHOP to die for,
    And no Republicans too...
    Imagine all the people, living in a sty...

    You may say I'm a dreamer,
    But I'm not the only one,
    I hope some day you'll join us
    Because this food gives me the runs.
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    It’s becoming apparent that numerous city councils are a half-rack of idiots.

    On top of cutting the SPD they have also passed a 200m. head tax on large businesses. This will drive people out of Sea. even faster.

    Bellevue is just across the lake and they are not doing any of that stupid shit. Hopefully the businesses will not leave the state.

    Seattle will become an entertainment city. People won't live there unless they have some connection to sports, theater or restaurants. Every other business that doesn't have to interface with FTF customers will leave. My wife has a financial advisor who has an office in Seattle. Well, he's history. She isn't impressed.
