Can’t you borrow using the endowment as collateral? Money is cheap ……
Do you really think Stanford is netting 4.5%?
No reason for him to pick Harris. He could select a 300#, multi colored hair, tatted up tranny and carry California.
Called this just reading the headline.
“The passage of the JumpStart tax could further accelerate Amazon’s move to secure office space outside of Seattle.
Amazon maintains an expansive Seattle footprint, but in recent years, it has moved to establish a presence in areas outside of the city. Last month, Amazon said it would lease 111,000 square feet of office space in Redmond, Washington, which will house some 600-plus employees. The company also has an office in the Seattle suburb of Bellevue and it’s building a 43-story tower there, its largest yet.”
Amazon and other large Seattle businesses fought a simialar tax a couple of years ago. It’s interesting to watch the lengths to which Seattle will go to raise revenue. This plan will backfire, as businesses simply choose to relocate entirely or move highly paid employees to another location outside of Seattle.
Seattle has tried for years to implement some form of income tax, but WSSC continues to say no based on a state law enacted in 1984. The state Supreme Court has consistently ruled that income is property and graduated income tax supporters need to pursue a constitutional amendment. (Washington law prohibits taxing property at different rates, i.e. graduated income taxes).
According to Amazon, it has invested over $4 billion in its urban campus in Seattle and paid more than $25 billion in compensation to its employees over the last seven years. Their estimate is these investments resulted in an additional $38 billion to the city’s economy from 2010 to 2016 and created more than 50,000 additional jobs on top of direct hires. I guess that just isn’t enough for Seattle.
I wonder when an elected official will seriously say “We should see what we can do with the money we collect.” I know, that’s crazy talk.

Could be a Hall of Fame sentence right there!
TC, check your browser settings. I know when I close my browser, all settings and history gets erased.
Missed part of the link.
Fraud can’t happen? 1.2 million stimulus checks went to dead people. If dead people can file taxes and qualify for a stimulus check, I’m pretty sure they can vote as well.
And it will continue until common sense prevails. I sense pushback is starting to form, but the children have discovered how far they can push. New boundaries are being established. Protests will fade until the next incident and subsequent outrage. More looting, vandalism and physical harm to law abiding citizens because elected officials are more concerned with appeasing law breakers than maintaining social order.
He fell from a high rise? Can’t blame Clinton for this one. It is most definitely a C-19 related death.
Add rape to list of violence.
“On Monday, some CHOP members called for changes to the zone over the violence. In an open letter addressed to organizers, a group of 25 activists and volunteers asked leaders to set up a safe use area on the outskirts of the zone, create different signage encouraging intoxicated persons to stay away and implement a curfew to prevent destructive behavior at night.”
A safe area? I thought CHAZ is a SAFE area. Encourage intoxicated people to stay away? With signs? OMG, who are these people?
So here we have a another lib hoping that not taking action would produce a desired outcome. Yeah, like that plan works all the time.
