Description

Seattle just learned what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you – and it's not pretty. Amazon's latest layoffs hit Seattle hardest, with 1,887 out of 2,300 Washington state cuts coming from the Emerald City. Coincidence? Not when you're slapping your biggest employer with a 2.5% payroll tax while they're already planning their escape to business-friendly Bellevue.We break down how Seattle's anti-business policies are driving away the golden goose, leaving thousands of workers jobless and the city scrambling to fill budget holes. From the jumpstart payroll tax to sky-high costs that make even Uber rides painful, Seattle's socialist experiment is playing out exactly as you'd expect – with companies voting with their feet and taking jobs elsewhere.Think this is coincidence, or are we watching cause and effect in real time? How long before other cities learn from Seattle's expensive mistakes? Like and subscribe if you're tired of politicians pretending their policies don't have consequences – because we're just getting started exposing this madness.
