Wasn't there an article that stated that truck companies are preparing to avoid cities that defund the police? Socialism / communism killing people coming right to your door comrades!

Yes.
Also it did not occur to me that there was already a shortage of truckers to begin with. Shipping rates are about to get even higher.
Check out the Brazil Trucker strike for how shitty things get when your logistics network shuts down.

One trucking company with less than 50 employees avoiding cities does not make for a transportation shortage. I suspect any large shipping company won't be virtue signalling any new policies in the media either. At least some of these cities are going to see an exodus of the tax base. Combine that with defunding their police and you're going to see an increase in violent crime. That could result in less business in these cities as well as an increase in robberies and hijackings that over the course of a couple years will probably make companies reconsider whether or not it is worth doing business in these areas. This isn't going to be some overnight happening for low attention span NEETs to jerkoff to.

Unless somebody disbands that city council then don't expect anything aside from a speedy descent into Detroit.

So Antifa is claiming that someone from inside a car containing some LITERAL NAZIS shot at them.
This is despite the fact that the named people were filming at the time and clearly none of them shot

the cascadia subduction zone is overdue a big quake. if that goes off, the entire pacific northwest will drop six or so feet down and then be wiped out by a tsunami.

They'll have to unelect the Communists doing it. There's really no other way. Or at least not one you could say without starting to glow from within.
Whether they do in the media or not, it isn't virtue signaling. If they can't get insurance to go into certain cities, and their drivers won't go there either, then they won't turn a profit and they're certainly not hauling shit for charity.

I can't wait for not only business to avoid places like Seattle but people actively telling people from Seattle to stay away from their cities and towns like Texas people do to Californians. BLM have already put small towns and cities on alert and I bet you will see people militantly making sure that it doesn't happen to their homes.

It's already happening in the areas around Seattle. Some people were PISSED when that Amazon poll leaked.

It's going to be amazing.
Back to CHAZ - Seattle Times had a good opinion article yesterday from a CHAZ area small business owner who was on the receiving end of some peaceful protesting to over 30k in stolen goods, not even counting property damage and lost time and business. They have to walk a tightrope and not pissing off the protestors because they don't want to be peacefully protested again. They end up talking mostly about the council and the police and the impossible position the mayor and the council have put everyone in, but of course can't come out directly and say if the protestors would just stop breaking shit, everyone would be a lot more behind everything.
Could your small retail business just swallow a 30k loss in goods in the middle of a pandemic when retail is in the toilet? But I see Central District facebook groups and other social media are complaining that Black people killed by cops don't get to write editorials, so good thing we all stopped racism by smashing the windows and stealing 30k from a small business, definitely no mroe rasicm after this.
They aren't just pissed, they're scared. The Downtown Seattle Association is asking the council to reconsider. Durkan already refused to sign the bill, but its veto-proof. To recap where we are, the council is in this pissing match with the mayor while the police and the business community hang in the balance, and peaceful protestors every night keep peacefully protesting. Sawant led a march to Durkan's house, Durkan cracked down on CHAZ and demanded Sawant be removed from ther council, council president Lorena Gonzalez said "neener neener" and then they passed the police defunding, raid the emergency fund, and crazy tax Amazon and every other slightly big business in one go. .
With the momentum of the protestors and everything behind the council and Gonzalez just waiting to become mayor and Durkans multiple "summer of love!" media messups this summer, it looks pretty bad for Durkan. Lorena Gonzalez will also become mayor when Durkan resigns or is removed, because don't forget peaceful protestors also have a petition going to remove her from office so she's probably sitting back and lovig seeing Durkan get BTFO. But now the business giant is stirring, and small businesses are just starting to leave or speak up, and if the DSA is starting to speak up in the wake of Amazon's internal poll about where employees would like to work from, then it's just a matter of time before Gonzalez's statement about refusing "to be held hostage by business threatening to leave the city" is put to the test. Amazon's poll is the first hint of such a threat, and small businesses not reopening or leaving will are the first cracks in the ice. If Gonzalez backs down, then she's got no backbone and will be weak in the eyes of the council and the protestors, and there's no guarantee the council will back down with her. If she doesn't back down then the city risks collapsing into an economic black-hole.
Plot reveal: Which is all Sawant wanted all along.

In any other context I know I'd sound like a complete wackjob hyperbole-addict, but I really, genuinely believe Sawant is one of the students who read Mein Kampf for school back in India. The stuff she's doing is exactly what they describe being taught in schools there when the book is used as a teaching tool. She's also a Brahmin, from Pune, who studied at the University of Mumbai.
She's very much not the "not politician" she claims to be, but you can't talk about this shit without people automatically assuming it's a case of Godwin's Law.

There's video of portland protests apparently beating a man unconscious, with one of the main culprits identified by 4chan.
Its not receiving any national attention, however.

I said that it wasn't getting any national attention, but it looks like it is now because the guy who was attacked had shared some facebook posts in support of a 5 year old white child who was shot in the head by a black man while riding his bike.
