That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

If you, like me, are just waking up and wondering what "derailment recovery" Sound Transit's service alerts are referring to. This train was initially in the pocket track at IDS.

Blue Angels have been canceled Saturday due to gusty winds. Winds have gusted 25-30 mph around #Seattle, but remember that crosswinds above the surface are higher. #wawx #Seafair
