This "we'll be announcing restrictions next week that'll be taking effect two weeks from now" poo poo is what's driven me nuts about Inslee all along. Ugh. How many heartfelt pleas have we had from him and Duchin to take this seriously? People clearly aren't, the election is over-- shut it down and tell the chuds to eat poo poo if they don't like it.

Kate Brown just put 5 counties in Oregon on a pause. This means it's highly suggested people not gather together for a brief time. No rules, certainly no penalties, and not even guidance for bars, restaurants or any other storefront. If the CHUDs finally caught up with her I wouldn't shed a tear.

Granted, right now Oregon has nearly thrown up its hands and it seems like they are fine with a coming Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years wave as long as the bars stay open.

https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavi...idays-loom.html "Fully 52% of Oregon’s coronavirus cases reported this week are from the Portland area, with Multnomah County setting a daily record Thursday of 351 confirmed or suspected infections out of the state’s record 1,122." The governor is having a press conference tomorrow to announce new measures. I can see why she's terrified to shutdown again because everyone is broke and angry/scared but the appeal to personal responsibility clearly isn't working to slow cases.

52% for, what is it, 3/4 of the population? e: jackson county, which has a fraction of the population of multnomah had 120 some cases today. that's 1/0th of the cases for waaaaay less than 1/10th of the population. The Voice of Labor fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Nov 13, 2020 |

I work for Washington County and there's been serious talk about shutting the county down again starting next week if the governor doesn't do it herself. I think it's inevitable, honestly.

Anybody who isn't insane or doing the, "we're all gonna get it/gonna die one day," poo poo knows another lockdown should've been put in place already. My feeling has been that Brown has aspirations beyond Oregon and doesn't wanna be the governor who "ruined" Oregon's economy. It's tough for me to see her having success at the national level, but it's the most reasonable explanation I can come up with for the delay. Once one western state does it, it seems like an easier sell to the rest of the region and I'm assuming Inslee and Newsom have national aspirations too.

We should have used the time the first lockdown bought us to institute a comprehensive testing and contact tracing regime. It's a loving wasted effort without that. If we'd done it then we probably wouldn't be looking at a second shutdown now. Also we never should have opened up in-person indoor dining and drinking again. That really should have waited for a vaccine.

It's absolutely insane that Inslee made a big show of going OH WE'RE HAVING A PRESS CONFERENCE TONIGHT and then had to immediately go 'it's just so we can scold people about getting sick and dying because we're allowing community spread unchecked' about it. A friend works at a big company I won't name that essentially reopened their office with social distancing and they had an hourlong meeting today about coronavirus and going 'jay inslee is going to hold a press conference tonight so we'll wait and see what happens' and now an entire office is gonna be going to work for at least, minimum, 2 more days (probably more, because everyone enforcing new restrictions has made them effective in 1-3 days) where every one of them is at risk of infection. Absolutely loving stupid.

I put in for the two weeks after thanksgiving off work, now I just need to convince my at risk parents to buy a pile of canned food. I work retail and we've only had 3 cases at my work so far, months in between each one, but it can't last and Thanksgiving is going to be a petri dish for the whole state if these cowards don't lockdown loving yesterday

That stunt lawsuit against the city for not shooting everyone in the CHOP is serving its intended purpose (that is, allowing every right wing columnist and noise-maker to make a buck bloviating about it)George 'the real victim of slavery was America' Will posted:The mills of justice grind slowly, so this litigation will live a lot longer than CHOP did. If the suit results, properly, in financial restitution for CHOP’s victims and financial pain for Seattle taxpayers, CHOP will have been, on balance, a net public benefit. Beyond demonstrating to Seattle voters the cost of electing childish people such as Mayor Durkan and kindred spirits on the city council, the suit can warn progressive governments from coast to coast that there is a price to be paid for pandering to the carriers of fashionable passions. Let this be a lesson for liberals: you can either admit your bloodthirst or reject it, but take no half measures. There will always be those waiting in the wings for your desire to kill to maintain the order of things to waver, and they will swoop in and call you a communist, an anarchist, a child for failing (even for a moment) to do the violence that our system requires, and they will turn the guns on you instead.

Thanatosian posted:I'm so pissed that the only discussion going on about the West Seattle bridge is either full replacement or repair. I have a better idea which is a) easier, b) more sustainable, and c) free: Don't replace it. Don't continue to subsidize commuter culture with public money. Your rebuild a car bridge, people will drive to work. You build a light rail bridge, they'll put a giant rear end park and ride at the end of the line and people will move even further into the sprawl and drive to the train station. Dezone the gently caress out of West Seattle and develop a local business district that the people who live there can commute to without insane rear end infrastructure projects that serve only to allow a city neighborhood to continue to live the fantasy bedroom community life. I realize this is a politically untenable position but we should be asking ourselves every single day "is this subsidizing a public good? is this a sustainable investment? is this developing our city in the directions that will fight urban entropy and poverty and climate change, or is it going to make it harder to do any of those?" I think investing tens of millions in making it convenient to commute from West Seattle into downtown fails every single one of those tests.

The bridge isn't just for going downtown. The closest it can get you is south of it or north of it. You know what it also provides? A direct way to get to Beacon Hill.

I mean, it's a moot point given that currently no one is driving anywhere or doing anything indoors but my brother lives on Beacon Hill and our band's practice space is in Georgetown so, anecdotally speaking, at least me and the other dude in my band who live in west Seattle use it to do just that. Also, going to beacon hill used to take 15 minutes and now it can be more like 40-50 minutes depending on any number of factors. It's a huge bummer.

I'd first like to add that the next most-northerly crossing of the Duwamish- the 1st Avenue South bridge- is currently being emergency repaired that would also be a place to spend the bridge repair money from car tabs. Second, the current contractor selected to do the WSB repair is also the ones who are parking their cranes in the area to do the Light Rail crossing so I would not be surprised if there was an effort to combine those two projects somehow. Also. Georgetown has the OG Katsu Burger so like way more people go to it than you'd think. Also Also the 4th Ave Costco.

If all the "good" reasons to retain a car bridge at the location of the West Seattle bridge are for discretionary, non-commute, off-peak trips, is there any reason to rebuild it as-is vs a low two-lane bascule bridge or similar?
