Kim St. Onge hosts "Kim on a Whim," comparing urban business migration and public safety struggles in St. Louis to findings from a new Downtown Seattle Association and Seattle Metro Chamber survey. St. Onge and Marc Cox analyze survey data showing 64% of Seattle businesses citing crime and taxes as primary operational barriers, with rising minimum wage mandates squeezing independent small businesses like Belltown's We Rise Wines. The discussion explores political migration from California into Texas, pushback against economic messaging from Barack Obama and Michigan candidate Abdul El-Sayed, and consumer cost-saving alternatives via healthcare sharing ministries.
