CHOP Seattle Autonomous Zone Photos

All photos taken June 20 and 21 2020. 

An addition on June 21 was the presence of security. I don't mean professional security guards or police. They were CHOP community members with two way radios. They seemed highly organized, I was closely monitored by them any time I was on the zone boundary (their security stayed along the boundary)

The epicenter was in the area with the two SUVs in the photos. There is a large garden, plants are above ground in bags. The Riot Kitchen is in this area also. 

I write philosophy and science fiction. My better works have been The Oscillating Communist Capitalist Machine and Autistic Crow Computer. See all my books here: https://www.amazon.com/Lance-Miller/e/B003UQL0O6/

Do Not Tax Amazon

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/councilmember-teresa-mosqueda-unveils-her-own-proposal-for-taxing-seattles-big-businesses/

So wrong. Opposing this.

Tax for big tech companies in Seattle and directs the revenue for supporting undocumented immigrants. Mosqueda said this proposal "gives support to black and brown communities for which we owe for 400 years of oppression".

Here is why it is wrong.

1) Amazon and Expedia have spent big in building their headquarters in Seattle inner city. Revitalized the city. Now targets of shakedown by demagogues.

2) Across every culture from Ancient Greece, Ancient and Contemporary China.... the wealthiest work with symbols only (finance, law, literature, math, engineering, software) and the poorest of the poor harvest crops. This is a standard dynamic, and moral systems that try to shame or punish the dynamic are foolish, futile, and a route to poverty and ignorance.
