Seems like folks close to retirement shouldn't have to pay it.

Whoa! That’s pretty weird. What was the ad for?

If a person has previously opted out of LTC by submitting evidence of paid LTC, they would be fine, yes?

Totally agree

How so?

Hello from just down the river. Great shot, I've always thought the area surrounding Pateros was gorgeous and totally underappreciated.

I second Leavenworth and Port Townsend, Port Angeles has some good ones down town by the ferry.

“The amount workers pay for the social program — that many will never need or use — went up this month . . . Why? More people used the program than expected”

Lol

It’s well known that Washington has the most regressive tax structure of all 50 states, and railing against a tax that has a tangible positive effect on those most burdened by this state’s taxes is nothing short of a moral deficiency.

0.4% Whatever shall we do?

Then why not just post the links? Why bother replying to some random redditor? You sound like someone with a hidden agenda.

I’ve been like six times. Every time the surface of the water is like glass lol. Someday I’ll get lucky.

The state actuary publicly said this would happen before the program was even passed into law. This is what the Washington legislature does. Pass laws with insufficient funding so the increase in taxes seems more palatable at first. Then act surprised when there isn’t enough funding and increase the taxes later.

Okay, not technically in Washington until we exert our dominance, but Astoria is a fun little town that has some good food and some interesting vintage shops. You can also find some shops scattered around the Washington side in the small towns like Long Beach and ilwaco.

Ok guys, they didn’t “ask nicely”- the person the information was sent to allowed the Pierce County IT group to go onto their laptop, into their email and full delete the file and any trace of it. Your information is safer than any of the six or so notices you’ve gotten from other data breaches. (That number is an assumption based on my experiences, it seems like every six months I’m notified of a data breach and they just offer me credit monitoring for another year.)
