So, this talking head, still living with her parents, never held a real job, and the dummies in Seattle voted her in as Mayor. I’m not sure what is worse, Katie chasing out her biggest benefactor for taxes, Starbucks or the ignorant voting her in.
Mayor Mamdani in New York is finding out the same thing and soon will run out of other people’s money. Socialism won’t work, and it will not take long for the voters to find out they are not going to get all that was promised to be elected. It’s the voters who have to wake up and join reality. All IMO.
“Seattle’s lefty Mayor Katie Wilson admitted she was wrong to slam Starbucks and push for a boycott of the mega-coffee chain birthed in the Pacific City.
Wilson, 43, issued a terse mea culpa to the New York Times this week as questions swirl about whether the liberal Northwest city can attract and retain businesses, including Starbucks, which recently chose to expand its footprint in Tennessee.
The democratic socialist made waves last fall when she joined a barista union rally as mayor-elect and expressed her disgust with one of Seattle’s most recognizable businesses.
“Those comments were not productive in the sense that they caused more harm than good,” she told the New York Times.
Democratic socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson blasted Starbucks, one of the city’s most recognizable businesses.
“I am not buying Starbucks, and you should not either,” she whined in November, according to KUOW.“
But several months later, Wilson appeared to walk back her statement.
“Those comments were not productive in the sense that they caused more harm than good,” she told the New York Times.
Wilson also told the outlet she’s aware that everything she says could be used as possible anti-business missives, and she needs to have a “multidimensional relationship” with corporations like the coffee giant.
Starbucks recently revealed it was going to build a 2,000-person corporate office in Nashville, which fueled concern that the business could leave its hometown high and dry.
Seattle City Council Member Rob Saka told the Times he is “gravely concerned” about the loss of business.
“This is real,” he said.”
