Yeah, it's crazy, man. Especially like I grew up in Capitol Hill.
And I like to say that I grew up like after grunge and before tech. Yeah. So it's like that weird window where Seattle, in my opinion, had its like had its moment. It was sick when I was growing up on the hill. And then Amazon moved their corporate campus to a neighborhood called South Lake Union in like 2013 when I was a sophomore in high school. And they tore down that whole neighborhood.
But it was like industrial before that. So we're like, all right, you know what?
It's like, go ahead and build your corporate campus there. It's totally fine. But then the problem was they were importing all of these like like random remote workers and shit into Seattle. Yeah. So I think you had like a thousand Amazon employees move from somewhere else to Seattle every single week for like five years. That's crazy.
And the average residency of an Amazon employee in Seattle was, I think, between 14 to 16 months. Because they would get promoted and go somewhere else like Austin, Portland, wherever they're going. And so it got to the point where all the Amazon employees had to have a place to live. So they all moved to Capitol Hill. So developers sold the city out, literally bulldozed the entire neighborhood.
Every dope coffee shop like Bauhaus, so many institutions just got bulldozed because the city wanted to give tax breaks to Bezos, which is 0% taxes, and stimulate the economy. So the Capitol Hill neighborhood, the Central District, all that shit is totally gone. And then COVID happens. All the workers start working remotely.
And they realize, dude, I can make my Amazon paycheck and move to Idaho and have some land full of chill-ass people where no one's going to make fun of me for being a tech bro. And they're like, if they leave, I would too. So now Seattle's a ghost town full of empty skyscrapers, and the landlords won't lower the rents. So we have this homelessness happening, and half the city is vacant apartments.
Yeah, and then you have fucking Republican pundits come in and be like, look at these liberals and their dumbass bullshit.
Of course it was their biggest cash cow. And what they did is like, they systematically fell in line with the DNC and disenfranchised Bernie Sanders in 2016 and,
And that was our guy.
But it's especially prominent now.
Yeah, just imagine you walk through the jungle. You leave Venezuela into Colombia on foot. You walk through the Darien Gap. There's like crocodiles trying to eat you and shit. People are dropping around you like flies, like it's Phoenix in the summertime. There's dropping. Sorry, dead weight. We got to keep moving.
You take buses through Mexico for like two months. Cartel fools are extorting you, taking advantage of migrants, holding the rich ones ransom. Mexican police also are systematically extorting you at every single border checkpoint for your watch, your shoes. You finally get to the U.S. border. For some reason, it's open. Let's keep it real. Because Joseph R. Biden and Kamala Harris.
There's all of a sudden some Texas ranger pulls up and he's like, get in, Venezuelans, we're going to Colorado to the sanctuary cities. You get there, you get to a shitty apartment. There's a couple kids at the apartment. One of them's named Cookie. He robs an old lady.
Then fucking next thing you know, there's a hundred and fifty youtubers live streamers Yeah dudes with maggot t-shirts and baseball helmets and ski goggles with gimbals on their back live streaming being like what's the craziest thing? You've seen over here. You have Sean handy doing a walkthrough my ass pulls up out of nowhere I'm all fucking like hey, I'm trying to tell the truth. Yeah
People were just like, dude, what the fuck is going on?
They're automatically just like, oh, thank God. They're excited.
You know, cause Spanish is also just like a beautiful language. So when you speak it to them, it just, it's, it's nicer. Like even if they spoke English, they'd prefer to be spoken to in Spanish.
basically like a propaganda farm i mean honestly just a pr for pr for i don't even think they see themselves as political it's almost like a lawyer it's just like a necessary service you know i mean you can pay the the union between lawyers pr firms and real estate agents is like something that's been ruining the country for like 200 years yeah you know because it's like and they're just like fuck you know why we don't know where to put our retired hots
They put them in like Scottsdale or like Scottsdale, clear water, just like places to die.
