As a side note, neo-nazis like to hide razor blades behind stuff they post, so that if it gets torn off, the person tearing it gets cut. So exercise caution when pulling them off and consider using a tool of some sort to not hurt yourself.

See, this is the sort of thing that I would really hope causes a moment of reflection, for someone to say "maybe when I'm stashing razor blades to cut people is a sign I'm being evil?" I doubt it will, but it's nice to dream.

Way back in the day, that location used to be an adult bookstore, but the city tore it down for code violations. The landowner decided that he could get back at the city by allowing homeless to camp there. Right 2 Dream Too was subsequently threatened with lawsuits from the city, and they told the city to gently caress off. Eventually the city relented. The city still wants them to leave because it's unsightly etc. (see also our attempts at a sit-lie ordinance) but they are doing an increasingly pisspoor job of actually finding a viable location. The first one that I'm aware of was under an overpass, but it was too close to the Pearl District (which, if you're unfamiliar with Portland, is the rich white snobbery part of the city) and some tenant association got hugely pissed off at the city so the city decided it couldn't be there. There've been a few other places, but they've never turned out for one reason or another. They've been at that spot on Burnside for around five years, and the city's still spending time and money vacillating over what they're going to do. In spite of everything, the city still believes that the camp needs to move.

Here's a serious question I've been kinda wondering about : do you-all have more or less respect for California being part of the PNW, since Jerry Brown decided to call Trump's bluff and threaten to secede?

I mean they obv can't build a dam to save the lives of everyone downstream but hey, it'd be pretty funny if the only way you could leave the flyover states was by flying, or driving out through Canda or Mexico because neither coast wants you there.

hey, if you wanna throw out easily-laughable falsehoods I'll just throw a link to the civil war at you.

Or did you forget how conservatives still make a point to try and blame democrats for slavery whenever they can get away with it? Maybe you're just too precious to realize that parties flip sometimes..? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVS24wqgeEM

you didn't step up on the MRE thing (or any other thing) so I assume you're just picking-and-choosing whichever posts you feel can most-reinforce your own worldview of, well, being an air force pill-jockey? But hey tell us about your logistics background - milligrams are hard to count

On thread topic:
KUOW has as part of their "Region of Boom" series, which is how growth is affecting the region, set their sights on Black Diamond the town i mentioned before in the thread. Theres now several stories, albiet short ones about the government imploding in on itself and its a train wreck i can't look away from. The reporters wont call out the blatently illegal acts in fear of losing access but its really funny to listen to a seattle metro prospective on a small town in the PNW, you can hear the whole thing seething with the NPR both sides are equal narrative style.

http://kuow.org/term/black-diamond


Context: That is one of the guys advising the council majority on how to run CIA sabotage ops in a town of 4000.

The topic of discussion there is passing an annual budget so staff gets paid. Its the GOP government shutdown with the added bonus of a "alternate " budget that has sections in it that would be literally illegal to enact. Like taking government grants for specific things with no matching funds and putting it in the general fund.

”Now I have taken your letter, and I’ll show you point by goddamn point in the treaty where you are misinforming people…If you continue these erroneous remarks, someone will publicize your letter to prove that you are not as thorough in your reviewing of this treaty as you say or are damned obtuse when it comes to reading the English language,” Wayne wrote."
