I find it quite amusing when Baby Boomers decry millenials as lazy, worthless and entitled when their generation produced the biggest lay-abouts in modern history, i.e. hippies.

Whoa there Mr. Zippy
Easy on the Hippies



I'm fond of the (remaining) Seattle Hippie population
It's where I get my Loose leaf tea and quality hand stitched items

Nope...
Sadly I'm down to my last drug (coffee)
I've abused pretty much all the others plus I'm old and it just hurts in the morning (even when I don't party)

(You forgot UPS and Boeing)

Are your socialist Boeing folks giving up their pensions, yet?

[Grizalltheway]

Pensions are socialist? Who knew.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

When did you conduct your census? ...Seattle hater

He was in the Navy

In which case, all he did was seamen.

You should stay out of the adult conversations.

I'll dumb it down for you. Seattle, the new bastion of liberalism/cool workplaces, such as Boeing, as kalm pointed out/socialism/etc., has a large union presence at Boeing that just voted (against the local union's leadership's direction) to voluntarily lose/reduce a whole host of benefits ranging from health, to pay, to pensions, in order to keep their jobs.

In other words, the newly elected city council person and poster child for the Left, Idiot Sawant, won her battle, but her peeps are still losing their war against the actual money makers and visionaries.

You may now go back to looking clownish with yet another failed attempt at trying to look smart...but with my free gift of a bit of added perception and wisdom.

You're welcome.

Firstly...
This is about Millenials and NONE of them work at Boeing
or would even consider working at Boeing
Boeing is like Ford or GM - it's a United Auto Workers house and largely dismissed

Pay no attention to Kalm regarding this Boeing thing
To the kids in Seattle Boeing is the Ugly Drunk old abusive uncle
who everybody wishes would just LEAVE and completely move to South Carolina

Now, now, Chiz, kalm brought Boeing into this conversation, so your ugly duckling stays. And, those union types do drink coffee, buy computers to go online and shop at Amazon, shop at Costco, and take their SUVs out to do some recreational living...heck, they might even buy some REI gear to go shooting up Sasquatch (did you know that only 8 of Washington's 39 counties do not have a bigfoot sighting)...and they do so at decent, middle class American wages (or at least they did).

So, as dutiful consumers, they help keep your hippie population humming.

With the way you describe it, similar to the Republican elite, seems as though some well paid Millenial (pretty close to "menial") techies don't want their low brow, hard working, low education based, assembly line consumers hanging around and interfering with their elite, granola crunching lives.

Yeah...but pensions still aren't neccessarily socialistic.

Ok, and you better not let him know that more than a few evil libwals have founded succesful companies, manage successful companies, keep happy employees, have truck loads of money and are visionary.

Kalm lives on the other side of the state...
And it's a big state

Boeing is NOT a Millenial employer (period) Not even close
And it's not even in Seattle it's in Renton and Everett
That's like calling Allentown and Lancaster parts of Philadelphia

Only the NEWs says "Boeing and Seattle" in the same sentence

Secondly:
This is about the bustling and dynamic economy the 20 somethings have created in the Seattle
And the businesses they have largely shaped in their image (the ones I listed)

and

They VOTE
and are creating Seattle in their image by getting involved in the process


Feel free to comment on that
but "Boeing" is a completely different conversation and has NOTHING to do with this topic

[AZGrizFan]

You spend the last two days thinking that gem up?

Uhh...this topic was about Seattle electing a socialist city council member and a gay mayor...and hot Asian chicks. Subsequently, it involved, if you read kalm’s article and viewed your own video, trying to get support for $15/hour wages for everybody in Seattle…then the rest of the U.S.

That liberal/socialist, “for the workers/masses movement”, stands in stark contrast to the Boeing employees who just had to give up major concessions (hint for the slow readers: pensions were a big part of that surrender) to Old Uncle Boeing and their greedy executives. Of course, we’ll get back to greedy executives a bit later.

In the meantime, since you brought up geography, we’ll go with Boeing’s presence in “Seattle”, compared to the other companies you mentioned were in “Seattle.”

Boeing – production site in Renton. Distance from Renton to Seattle...12 miles.

Boeing also has workers in Tukwila…the airport. Distance from Tukwila to Seattle…11 miles.

Google – Kirkland. Distance to Seattle…14 miles.

Microsoft headquarters: Redmond. Distance to Seattle…15 miles.

Costco’s headquarters are located in Issaquah. Distance to Seattle…17 miles.

REI’s corporate offices are located in 6750 South 228th St. Kent, Washington which is 18 miles south of Seattle

Boeing…production site in Everett. Distance from Everett to Seattle...29 miles.

Oh, and the distance from Allentown to Philadelphia...61 miles. Distance from Lancaster to Philadelphia...65 miles.

Now that the geography topic has been covered, let’s get back to the thread’s topic.

We have Boeing’s Seattle area employees giving up major concessions to stay employed. In the meantime, “local” greedy Microsoft executives (those supposed left leaning folks who care about the masses) avoids 2.43 billion in taxes with loopholes and hiding assets overseas…just like the greedy Conks. Too funny.

Sawant and the VOTING socialists won’t be happy about that. As liberals usually find out, it is easier to ask someone else to pay more taxes...as they avoid those taxes themselves.

Remember, those young, healthy, upwardly mobile Millenials vote…and take action. If their putrid sign up rate for Obamacare is any indication, (and their avoidance of taxes), they really don't want to pay their fair share to help those less fortunate.

Sawant said she would not play special favors with the local big money businesses...and she stated that she wants to tax the wealthy even more. The 100,000 folks who voted for her seem to be sending a message that a conflict is coming.

That depends on your definition of Socialism and the type of pension.

Socialism involves a partnership, to varying degrees, between the state and the people regarding the ownership (and benefits resulting from that ownership) and direction of the means of production. Those loose guidelines have never been nailed down, have they? In the end, Socialism is just another way of controlling and measuring people's ownership and return from production...not much different from our supposed "free market" capitalism that has business owners in bed with government.

Regardless of one's definition of Socialism, Idiot Sawant, who received 100,000 votes, ran on a "Socialist" platform and is calling for a $15/hour wage for everyone. In stark contrast to a demand for better benefits and wages for Seattle's workers, at the same time, other Seattle voters gave up their wages, benefits, and pension (part of their benefits from the means of production) in order to preserve their job.

It seems as though Seattleites don't know what to do with themselves or their working conditions. One group wants to force companies to pay more, while another group is willing to vote away their benefits rather than have a company leave.

[Grizalltheway]

You mean not everyone in a metro area of 4 million has the same opinions and self-interests?? I'm glad it only took you 10,000 words to get that breaking news across, Cluck St. Onge.
