Seattle Has Fallen...

I refuse to recognize Labrador.

Labrador sounds like my kind of place.  Remote, barely accessible by road, and not many people.   I really need to check it out one day

Yes! However, Newfoundland is now called Newfoundland and Labrador. It changes in 2001. Gotta stay current!

Dang it! The Animaniacs need to come up with a new version of their countries song as well. I know that ain't right anymore.

From July 2022 through July 2023, nearly half of postings for jobs in “generative AI” were published in these five cities, plus San Jose. While it’s true that job postings are distinct from hires, they are nevertheless a good proxy for hiring activity. Nearly one-quarter of the postings were published in the Bay Area. San Francisco is hardly finished being a major tech hub; it’s the new Klondike of the generative AI gold-rush.

Hundreds of asylum-seekers are camped out near Seattle. There's a vacant motel next door

By GENE JOHNSON

2 hours ago

KENT, Wash. (AP) — Kabongo Kambila Ringo stood outside the tent where he has been staying with his pregnant wife and ate from a clear plastic tray of Girl Scout cookies melting in the midday sun.

He was one of around 240 asylum-seekers camping in a grassy lot along a highway south of Seattle, wondering if police would follow through on threats to arrest them for trespassing, and hoping officials instead might let them move into the vacant motel next door.

“It's very difficult,” the 29-year-old from Congo told The Associated Press in French. “There's not enough to eat. There's not even a way to wash ourselves.”

The cluster of tarp-covered tents that have covered the field in Kent, a Seattle suburb, since last weekend highlights the strain facing many communities — even some far from the U.S.-Mexico border — as President Joe Biden attempts to restrict asylum and neutralize immigration as a political liability ahead of this fall's election.

Some Democratic-led northern cities have seen huge influxes of migrants. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has sent more than 40,000 asylum-seekers to Chicago, mostly by bus or plane.

The Seattle area has seen fewer, but with homelessness already an immense challenge — nearly 10,000 people sleep outside in King County every night, officials say — even that has stressed the region's capacity.

More than 2,000 asylum-seekers have come through a suburban church, Riverton Park United Methodist in nearby Tukwila, since 2022 after word got out that it was willing to help. The church has made room for hundreds of migrants to stay every night and has raised money to place families in motels.

Hundreds were moved from tents at the church to hotels or other short-term rentals as extreme cold hit over the winter. But as money ran out, they have faced rolling evictions.

Ringo said war forced him and his wife to flee Congo in 2022. They took a ship to Brazil then spent two years walking to the U.S. border in Arizona, where they arrived March 23. He was detained, while his wife was taken to a hospital.

A man he met in detention gave him the church’s address, and when he was released, he said, his brother bought him a plane ticket to Seattle, where he reunited with his wife, now eight months pregnant.

Many of those who have been camping in Kent — primarily migrants from Congo, Angola and Venezuela — previously stayed at the church or were evicted from motels.

Lacking other options and awaiting permission to work in the U.S., they set up camp outside a disused Econo Lodge. The county purchased the 85-room motel during the COVID-19 pandemic as emergency quarantine housing.

“We want to pressure the county and the city to open the hotel for this group of migrants,” said Ian Greer, a volunteer for a coalition of migrant services organizations that has been assisting the asylum-seekers.

Under a legal agreement between the county and the city, the motel can only be used for quarantine housing and other city-approved uses. Officials say they have no immediate plans to open it for the migrants.

“We understand the rationale for the request by asylee seekers to use the hotel in the short term, but the reality of doing so is much more complicated than simply unlocking the doors and turning on the lights,” Kristin Elia, a spokesperson for the King County Executive's Office, said in an emailed statement. “Full operations and capital for an emergency shelter, even in the short term, are beyond the County’s available resources.”

Kent police last weekend posted a 48-hour eviction notice at the encampment, saying the migrants did not have permission to be at the county-controlled property. But as the deadline came and went Tuesday, authorities backtracked, giving the migrants breathing room as they hope for long-term shelter.

Late last year, King County provided $3 million in grant funding to respond to the migrant influx, helping house more than 350 individuals and families. In April, it awarded four nonprofits $2 million to provide shelter, food, legal services and other assistance. When some migrants camped in a Seattle park last month, the city moved dozens of families into motels and is paying for them to remain at least until July.

Beginning next month, a flood of new money from the state should help. The county will receive $5 million to respond to the influx — money officials are still assessing how to use. The state's Office of Refugee and Immigrant Assistance will begin giving out $25 million to nonprofits and local governments to develop a statewide network to support recently arrived migrants.

Riverton Park United Methodist is hoping to raise $200,000 for hotel vouchers by the end of this month, saying that given how long it takes to review spending proposals, the state money might not be available until September.

Children ran around in the steamy grass Wednesday as the sun dried out tents after heavy rains. The facilities consisted of five portable toilets and two hand-sanitizer stations. Larger tents served as kitchen and pantry. Volunteers dropped off food and toiletries. Migrants adjusted tarps and chatted beneath canopies.

Linda Gutiérrez recalled leaving Venezuela: “There is no medicine in Venezuela. Our family is dying of hunger,” she said in Spanish. They went first to Colombia, then Chile. When they were forced to leave Chile, she said, they made their way through the perilous Darien jungle — the dense and roadless rainforest that divides South America from Central America — with her children and young grandchildren to the U.S.

They eventually reached Riverton Park United Methodist, where they stayed for five months, she said. They were then placed in a nearby motel, but only for a month.

In the encampment she met Jose Guerrero, from Puerto Cabello — the same area west of Caracas where she lived. Guerrero came to the U.S. with his wife after leaving their three children in the care of grandparents.

“All of us here have been struggling for months," Guerrero said. "My hope is that the mayor, the county, the leaders, open that hotel. As you can see, it’s empty and abandoned. All of us, together, we can maintain it and get it ready to house us.”

One of the things that caught my ear in watching POOTWH’s interview with the black press association was when he was asked about pardoning the 1/6 defendants and went into his rant, POOTWH said something about Seattle and how the vast or large majority of blocks were destroyed. I think he was referencing CHOP and the 5 or 6 blocks that were under siege.

Only in MAGA land does 5 or 6 blocks = vast or large majority of city blocks in a city the size of Seattle. So much winning.

When I say you I don’t mean mickeyrat just people in general.  

Just take a minute to think how happy these folks are now that they’re not facing whatever it was they’re escaping.  Probably ok with the whole situation.  Probably thanking God they’ve made it to America.  Then take a minute to think about what you have yourself.  Hopefully you feel fortunate and blessed.

From everything I've heard and read, Seattle doesn't sound like the city I know and love... It really does seem like a lot changed for the worse since I was last there, pre-COVID. And that really sucks.

Not just Seattle, this Great RE-SET is happening in most rotten brain infested Big shitties throughout America.  And the common theme on who controls those shitties like NYC, LA, CHI, one might ask?? Well ya’know…One cannot talk about that, especially on here…Wake me up when the Woke decides to sleep 

Linda, you're welcome to talk about anything you want on here - you seem to be the intolerant one of others who would make good faith arguments, because you spew nonsense. This nonsense, of course, comes in between your insults that wouldn't seem out of place in a third grade class, and makes it nearly impossible to think of you as a credible source, let alone an opinion worth learning from.

Well thank you for giving me permission to express my thoughts on here….Obviously I struck a nerve due to the personal insults towards me…Par for the course around here when one does not drink the coolaide.  Post all the laughable manipulated stats you want, I form my opinions from seeing things w/ my own eyes from my travels to all the Shitties mentioned.  So sad what has happened, but not surprised one bit…Never been happier to be a 1%-er.  

 You must have missed the catholic class about being humble about what you have and how fortunate you are.  If you were a good Catholic student you understand the ramifications of arrogant, narcissistic statements.  

My brother is in the 1% also and he’s been miserable his entire life.  Must be part of the “club” rolls.  Just remember, money can’t change your personality.  I’m sure there’s good, valid reasons why you’re so miserable you have to come onto this forum just to get people to listen to you.  I feel bad for you.  You’re so miserable you can’t enjoy all the 1% brings you.  

And why do you need the ten club membership for lottery tickets?  The 1% could probably afford to sit side stage-no?

My advice to you is to grow up and grow a pair…. And stop obsessing about me and GAL!!!

And Yes, when we don’t get pit tickets from the club we have made some phone calls or bought them on the secondary market  Only have done that a few times thou…we are 5/5 for pit tics for Wrigley and 7/10 at MSG….Mahalo

You sound miserable.  Whether you are or aren’t isn’t the point.  

You are and should be absolutely proud if you worked hard and enjoy what you have, I was just trying to say a little humility goes a long way.  

Sweetie, I’ve only responded to you three, maybe four times.  I’d hardly call that obsessing, but we all are entitled to our opinions.  

Trust me, I’m grown up enough, but I don’t understand telling me to grow a pair, but ok, but no thanks.  Would you have preferred I was rude like you?

 I love my life as much as you, but thanks for the suggestion.  

I thought I was being fairly decent to you considering your posts are rather harsh, but that’s fine…thought a woman could use another woman to teach her how to act more appropriately because ( I don’t think I was quite as harsh, some on here may feel differently 😂but that’s ok) i wasn’t so nice either when previously posting.  I believe you’re happy, I just think you’re immature about conveying your feelings. But all’s good.  

 was being facetious about the tickets, I really didn’t expect an answer….sorry.  Guess sarcasm doesn’t always come across well.  

No need to post back, unless you feel it’s necessary to pop a vein again then proceed with caution.  I won’t be responding to you any further.

People who publicly brag about A. Their accomplishments and B. How much money they have and what they spend it on are people not to be copied or envied.

I don't  care how much you have or what you spent it on. I care about what good have you brought to the world around you with your largesse.

Just an aside....getting GA tickets for a stadium show is not the flex some may think it is.

Trust me, I’m grown up enough, but I don’t understand telling me to grow a pair, but ok, but no thanks.  Would you have preferred I was rude like you?

 I love my life as much as you, but thanks for the suggestion.  

I thought I was being fairly decent to you considering your posts are rather harsh, but that’s fine…thought a woman could use another woman to teach her how to act more appropriately because ( I don’t think I was quite as harsh, some on here may feel differently 😂but that’s ok) i wasn’t so nice either when previously posting.  I believe you’re happy, I just think you’re immature about conveying your feelings. But all’s good.  

 was being facetious about the tickets, I really didn’t expect an answer….sorry.  Guess sarcasm doesn’t always come across well.  

No need to post back, unless you feel it’s necessary to pop a vein again then proceed with caution.  I won’t be responding to you any further.  

People who publicly brag about A. Their accomplishments and B. How much money they have and what they spend it on are people not to be copied or envied.

I don't  care how much you have or what you spent it on. I care about what good have you brought to the world around you with your largesse.

Just an aside....getting GA tickets for a stadium show is not the flex some may think it is.

Yay! It's always fun to quote someone's post from March 2022 in order to reignite the argument!

From everything I've heard and read, Seattle doesn't sound like the city I know and love... It really does seem like a lot changed for the worse since I was last there, pre-COVID. And that really sucks.

Not just Seattle, this Great RE-SET is happening in most rotten brain infested Big shitties throughout America.  And the common theme on who controls those shitties like NYC, LA, CHI, one might ask?? Well ya’know…One cannot talk about that, especially on here…Wake me up when the Woke decides to sleep 

Linda, you're welcome to talk about anything you want on here - you seem to be the intolerant one of others who would make good faith arguments, because you spew nonsense. This nonsense, of course, comes in between your insults that wouldn't seem out of place in a third grade class, and makes it nearly impossible to think of you as a credible source, let alone an opinion worth learning from.

Well thank you for giving me permission to express my thoughts on here….Obviously I struck a nerve due to the personal insults towards me…Par for the course around here when one does not drink the coolaide.  Post all the laughable manipulated stats you want, I form my opinions from seeing things w/ my own eyes from my travels to all the Shitties mentioned.  So sad what has happened, but not surprised one bit…Never been happier to be a 1%-er.  

 You must have missed the catholic class about being humble about what you have and how fortunate you are.  If you were a good Catholic student you understand the ramifications of arrogant, narcissistic statements.  

My brother is in the 1% also and he’s been miserable his entire life.  Must be part of the “club” rolls.  Just remember, money can’t change your personality.  I’m sure there’s good, valid reasons why you’re so miserable you have to come onto this forum just to get people to listen to you.  I feel bad for you.  You’re so miserable you can’t enjoy all the 1% brings you.  

And why do you need the ten club membership for lottery tickets?  The 1% could probably afford to sit side stage-no?  

Boy O Boy, you sure are a winner!!  You think I am miserable you say?? Lol…. I live the best life!!  couldn’t be happier w/ what my family and our businesses have accomplished over the years …and now we all are living crazy awesome lives experiencing things not many get to do. 

My advice to you is to grow up and grow a pair…. And stop obsessing about me and GAL!!!

And Yes, when we don’t get pit tickets from the club we have made some phone calls or bought them on the secondary market  Only have done that a few times thou…we are 5/5 for pit tics for Wrigley and 7/10 at MSG….Mahalo 

You sound miserable.  Whether you are or aren’t isn’t the point.

Your 1st paragraph describes the candidate that is running against KH maybe that’s the connection to the poster!

Somethings bear repeating. 

Who reignited the discussion???  The 1%er. Can’t blame anyone else for this one.
