    In this weeks episode of “bfx fucking hates McKinsey”

I get it. I do. I will point out, however, that this is one of those instances where the agency that legit said "IE4 or fuck off" on their website CLEAR INTO 2009 stood up a new website to handle 400% of their usual traffic in the space of three weeks.

I've been a part of Washington State's bidding process. I redesigned a couple buildings twice for three different building processes across four years as part of that process. SOME bloodsucking consultancy was getting that work, and they were getting it at whatever they asked for.

    Some of that work has been donated. For instance, Microsoft helped build two COVID-19 dashboards for the state pro bono.

Well sunofabitch that fucker does work better in Edge. Thanks knkx! 'cuz it's a real pain in the ass in Firefox!

Here’s the thing - some fucking hick in Kirkland or Spokane? If they’re not already galvanized against the WA state government and the libera enclave that is the Puget Sound?

They’re going to see a headline like this and think “gee I bet Inslee and the democratic are using my tax dollars in the best interest of the state”. Nah, it’ll be more like “rabble rabble Inslee bad rabble rabble vote against any and all tax increases”.

This is the shit that gives Eyman any sort of a box to stand atop and shout from.

You are 100% correct and 100% overlooking the fact that there is nothing Inslee can do to satisfy that hick.

Try watching Inslee's conferences on Facebook some time. There is absolutely no correlation between content and commentary; it is the 100% all the time non sequitur grievance show.

Eyman is an assclown. Eyman has always been an assclown. I have been voting against Eyman measures since, if I am calculating correctly, you were four years old. There have been people supporting Eyman's assclownery since Clinton was up for re-election and never once has it been about the issues. It has always 100% been about stickin' it to the libera pinko man.

That’s a really good perspective to share and I want to say thanks for that.

But, you know, somewhere out there in the Internet ether, bfv now knows how old I am.
