The Democrats have been in control of Seattle for as long as I can remember. The only way you would have one party in control forever is if the party created a utopia.聽In which case, this next news story simply can’t be true — the City of Seattle just announced the creation of a brand-new聽 to support city employees dealing with workplace misconduct, discrimination, and harassment.

You’re telling me that Democrats also engage in workplace naughtiness? They treat people in a less-than-stellar way? And so much so, that Seattle had to create an Office of Employee Ombud? When you have a government full of people who are so woke, how can there be that much harassment, discrimination, and misconduct? I thought Republicans were the party of harassment and discrimination. You’re telling me that that happens in a Democrat-Socialist utopia?

, the City of Seattle conducted a survey among employees and found common threads of “mistrust of management, fear of retaliation, lack of transparency, bias in hiring, and ageism.”

The City of Seattle’s new Office of Employee Ombud seems like just another way to create three more high-paying jobs for buddies and lackeys of the mayor. The mayor is going to appoint this director, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see it turn out just like that $720,000 contract she gave her old friend. The mayor has allocated, to go toward a director and two advisers, $564,000 — which equates to an average of $190,000 per person.

Thank goodness we have an extra $564,000 laying around so that we can create these three new jobs. We haven’t quite made it yet, but we’re getting close, and if we just spend this last bit of money, we’ll finally, finally be the utopia that everybody envisioned when they cast their votes for City of Seattle positions. You keep working for perfection, Seattle — you’re so close to getting there.
