Today we have Part 2 in our series on running a small biz in Tacoma. This round we chatted up Umi from @ETCTacoma about life in the rareware biz.
We also discussed niche soccer jerseys, the messiness of the Tacoma Art Museum, and the power of an anorak to conjure nostalgia.

When I interviewed the folks from @tacoma4all about their Tenant Bill of Rights, one of the things we discussed was the likelihood the city would rollout a watered down version of the policy.
As predicted...

This is classic from current city council: ignore a problem and ignore activists about a problem. Then, when activists start getting traction introduce watered down policy.
We've seen it before:
Interim zoning regs at the port
Home in Tacoma and upzoning
Police accountability

Last nightβs @Channel_253 and @nerdfarmpod event inspired a TNT mini-reunion.
It was good. I love all these people.

Christopher Rufo, one of the countryβs most powerful conservative influencers, rose up in Seattle, one of the most progressive cities.
How did that happen?
I spent a lot of time looking into that question.

If you listened to our episode with @Brandi_Buchman about the Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy trial, this from the New Yorker is good extra credit listening. A reporter got hours of walkie talkie audio from Oath Keepers, then the feds came knocking.

I want to do a series w/ small biz owners in Tacoma about what it's like to operate in the city. In particular, I'm curious about how hard or easy city makes it to operate.
If there's a small biz owner you think would be ideal for this conversation tag them here, por favor.
