Great news! Seattle is leading the way and is now the first city to ban surveillance pricing, which has let large grocery retailers track our personal data to set individualized prices. Thank you to Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck and Mayor Katie Wilson for leading this ordinance and UFCW 3000 for pushing it at a time when so many working people are struggling to afford groceries. king5.com/article/money/cons…

Seattle becomes first city in nation to ban ‘surveillance pricing’

…just in time for more grocery stores to close. What did your husband think given that he organizes for the union workers at the Grocers? Did it make things rough at home given that you & your bestie Katie Wilson’s socialist policies caused the shut downs?

Screws over customers that would have gotten a discount. Government price fixing registration rarely works. Voters you need a smarter representative

You can’t explain surveillance pricing because it generally does not exist. The prices are clearly marked for every item.

📍🚨 FRAUD of the Day #8 in WA State🚨📍SHARE 100% They didn’t just tax millionaires. They opened 11 pension statutes that had said “hands off” since Truman. PERS. LEOFF. Teachers. School employees. Judges. Firemen. Then they nicked 401(k)s and IRAs for Title 82A. Same bill Ferguson signed March 30. 9.9% over $1M. Collections 2029. Your retirement isn’t billed yet. It’s on the menu. The $1M line is a Post-it. The exemption is gone. I-645 is the repeal. Ballot already has the AG’s “this cuts schools” sticker. Server farms get the break. Pensions lost the shield. Same session. BONUS INFO: What @jasonrantz is pointing at @letsgowa- rian Heywood / Seattle Red: when Dems passed SB 6346 (Ferguson signed March 30, 2026), the 9.9% tax on household income over $1 million, they also rewrote 11 old pension-shield statutes. Each one used to say PERS / LEOFF / teachers / school employees / public-safety / judges / firemen pensions were exempt from state and local tax. They added the same sentence: that shield does not apply to tax under Title 82A (the new income-tax title). They also poked RCW 6.15.020 so 401(k) / IRA / Roth money isn’t walled off from Title 82A collection. What that is / isn’t Is: they removed the legal moat so retirement income can count toward the millionaire tax. Law is on the books now. First dollars 2029 (2028 income). I-645 on the Nov ballot tries to kill the tax. Isn’t: every cop/teacher check gets a 9.9% haircut tomorrow. Only if that household clears $1M. The scare is the menu — threshold can move; the exemption is already gone. Eleven chapters. Almost no coverage until @bkheywood. That’s the story. They didn’t just tax millionaires. They opened 11 pension statutes that had said “hands off” since Truman. PERS. LEOFF. Teachers. School employees. Judges. Firemen. Then they nicked 401(k)s and IRAs for Title 82A. Same bill Ferguson signed March 30. 9.9% over $1M. Collections 2029. Your retirement isn’t billed yet. It’s on the menu. The $1M line is a Post-it. The exemption is gone. I-645 is the repeal. Ballot already has the AG’s “this cuts schools” sticker. Server farms get the break. Pensions lost the shield. Same session. #VOTEYES I-645
Yes. Vote YES on I-645 to repeal it. I-645 kills SB 6346, the 9.9% tax on household income over $1 million, and blocks cities/counties from stacking their own income tax. YES = tax gone (and those pension-statute hooks ride with the Title 82A package). NO = tax stays. First bills 2029. Ballot sticker will say it “cuts schools.” First dollar isn’t collected yet. That’s the fight.

So let's be clear, this pricing ban prevents AI use to offer personalized discounts or entice shoppers to try new products or as a reward for loyalty shopping. It will eliminate those savings in the name of "affordability".

Bad news! Seattle is leading the way in daycare fraud. One investigation found over $5 million in potential taxpayer fund misuse across more than 20 locations in just two Seattle-area neighborhoods. Be sure to thank Democrats when voting for this fraud.
