Starbucks is moving forward with its move from Seattle to Nashville, cutting 224 corporate jobs in Washington State. Of the 224 laid off, 120 declined relocation to the new headquarters in Tennessee, and 104 positions were cut entirely. End Wokeness reminds us of when Democratic Socialist Mayor Katie Wilson wished a hearty farewell to those businesses fleeing Seattle:
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, 4 months ago: "To the ones that leave, like bye! Hahaha!"

Putting people who have never had a real job in charge of making sure that people have real jobs, is one of the dumbest developments in the last couple of years

This is the inevitable consequences of electing theater kids to public office.

The people of Seattle voted her into office in 2025, but just months into her term, new polls show that a majority of Democrats would like Wilson recalled.
Just a little over 6 months in office, 53% of Seattle Democrat voters who elected this moron, are trying to do a recall. Proving yet again that Democrat voters are the absolute dumbest people on the planet!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣https://t.co/rFSzEFXR7U

Ari Hoffman reports for The Post Millennial:
Two separate polls released this week show Seattle voters souring dramatically on Socialist Mayor Katie Wilson just months into her first year in office, with one finding two-thirds disapprove of her job performance and another showing that a majority of voters—including Democrats—want her to resign or removed from the position.
A new Change Washington poll conducted August 13-17 found only 22 percent of Seattle registered voters approve of Wilson's job performance, while 66 percent disapprove and 12 percent are unsure.
Even more damaging for the progressive mayor, 60 percent said Wilson should resign or be removed from office, compared with 30 percent who said she should remain and 10 percent who were unsure.

Ouch. Why did these people bother to elect her in the first place?
Fingers crossed the recall doesn’t work & they’re punished for 3.5 more years since they did this to themselves 😜

Appears the people of both Seattle and New York are learning the hard life lesson that elections, and whom you choose in those, have consequences. Be cautious and judicious in your selections.

Why are so many people determined to touch the damn hot stove just to check when others warn them it is hot? At a certain point it isn't even an experiment anymore. There is nothing useful to be learned. It is just plain stupidity.

They should have to live with this snow flake full term. They voted this moron in with no experience, no work record, living off of mommy and daddy, and now want a recall? She's stupid, but the people that voted for her should have to deal with what they voted for.

You can bet they just think it’s her and not the stupid Democrat policies that are also the problem, so they’ll elect another communist.

What is truly funny is they will elect the same type person to replace her.

Not to worry; another Democrat will fix everything.

What did she do that she didn’t telegraph? If they recall her, what difference would it make? Does anyone think the next one would be better?

Absolutely not. This is who Seattle voted for, party over logic. Locked in for four years.

She was an incompetent idiot when you voted for her. Now you get what you deserve.
— Gary Weiss (@coachgardog) August 22, 2026
Its been an absolute pleasure watching this moron for the past 6 months. Keep up the "great" work. People get who they vote for !! I cant wait to see what Seattle looks like when she is finally done.

I guess the whole Starbucks starting to pull out of its hometown got a little too much “bye” for even commies 😂😂😂

Why bother? They'll just elect someone even further to the left. Like Chicago, but with more rain. 🙄

Both New York City and Chicago went from bad to worse. Seattle voters got the mayor they asked for. A communist with no experience in either the private or public sector? What could go wrong?
