You have seen their Seattle office


yeah that building is cool, but 98% of their offices are plain, brick boxes like any other downtown office building.  amazon isn't always that cool.

VA getting things done. No executions, felon voting rights reinstated and soon-to-be legal weed.

Here in MoCo things ain’t getting done.

I think it involves a pro forma process where the Governor's office grants them back whereas this cutting out that step.

The future:

"Hey everybody live music is back!  Concerts are back!  Fuck yeah!  I am seeing 100 shows this year!"

Five minutes later:

"Fucking ticket fees.  Fucking overpriced beer.  Fucking $50 tshirts.  Fucking security took my weed vape pen."

when concerts do come back, expect sky-high prices for everything.  there is so much pent up demand.  and the venues & artists are hurting, they've got pandemic debts to vanquish - everyone will be milking it.

we're all saying "whatever, i'm ready to pay anything!!!" right now... let's see how long that lasts.
