[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's always a huge helping of magical thinking in DC policymaking. Whether it's Initiative 82 or bike lanes or pot legalization or whatever, it's like the underpants gnomes are in charge of designing these policies. [/quote]

74% or DC voters are underpants gnomes? (Whatever the hell an underpants gnomes is, not that any of us really want to know.)

And god forbid DC voters might think that restaurants in DC could figure out how to operate the way that restaurants and almost every other business functions almost everywhere else in the world.

But, no, they throw a fit with all sorts of junk fees and nonsense charges just to piss all the customers off, childishly branding I-82 as responsible for their own crappy behavior, and then go crying to Mommy Bowser to get their way.

Well, it ain’t gonna work. There aren’t the votes for this on the Council. Not even Mendelsohn is going to vote for it. And you think that after this, DC voters are going to be even more eager to eat at your restaurants? Please.[/quote]

It wasn't 74 percent of DC voters. It was 74 percent of the people who voted in that election, or around 28 percent of the registered voters in DC. I know critical thinking isn't your strong suit, but please try.[/quote]

Shall we show out all of the results from that election or those you don’t like? Shall we also throw out I-83 because it similarly failed to attract votes from a majority of registered voters? There was nothing else on that ballot - other than uncontested candidates - that attracted such overwhelming support from those who voted in the election. But it is funny that you apparently think very highly of yourself for concocting an argument that is not only stupid but could be used to delegitimize almost any election result in the country.[/quote]

Setting policy based on the whim of 28 percent of the voting population is absurd, and a recipe for bad policy.

I guess you're fine with Anita Bonds, then? She wins with like 15 percent of the vote. [/quote]

You debunked your own argument. Thanks.[/quote]
