    Seattle =Failure

    Well duh!!!





    When the City of Seattle passed a tax on all sales of guns and ammunition, the measure was hailed as a way to defray the rising costs of gun violence. But since the tax took effect, those costs have only risen as gun violence in the city has surged. And the tax has apparently brought in much less than city leaders projected it would.
    “How much data do you need?” asked Dave Workman, senior editor of TheGunMag.com and member of the Second Amendment Foundation. “The data says the law has failed to prevent what they promised it would prevent.”

    Was reading an article where Seattle was fining citizens for having food waste in their garbage. Basically telling their residents that they should all have compost piles and any food waste should go in there. They were also putting stickers on residents garbage cans that dare to throw food away so their neighbors would know who to hate.

    And I thought my garbage men were bad because they refuse to take my garbage is the can lid is open 1.25 inches.
