Seattle Socialist Gets $2,200/Month From Parents, Leads Race For $9B Budget

Seattle's about to elect a mayor who gets $2,200 a month from mommy and daddy for daycare while running on a "working class" platform - you can't make this stuff up! Katie Wilson, socialist candidate leading in polls, has never held a substantial job, run a business, or managed a payroll, yet wants to oversee Seattle's $9 billion budget and 41 departments. Meanwhile, her Transit Writers Union has LOST money for three straight years with a budget smaller than what the city spends on coffee. But hey, she made a slick video with grandma explaining why families should "take care of each other" - because nothing says fiscal responsibility like needing parental subsidies at age 43. Here's the kicker: she supports defund the police while Seattle desperately needs more cops, and her "solutions" include rent control and social housing (because those always work, right?). Is anyone surprised that Seattle voters are about to choose inexperience over competence again? What could possibly go wrong when you elect someone whose biggest accomplishment is organizing volunteers?
