I loving love it when people post searing hot takes like these and don’t loving bother to provide any examples or explanation. Claims made: 1. Borderline sociopath. 2. Doesn’t give a poo poo about climate. 3. Cares only for personal aggrandizement and thinks environmentalism is the way to “personal power and reward”. * 4. Desperate to get onto the national stage so he can seek higher office. ** So without any bullshit, can you actually substantiate any of this? * Lol, environmentalism as the path to power and reward? Are you loving kidding me? Not finance? Not pharma? Not consulting? Not lobbying? Gaming? Silicon Valley poo poo? Environmentalism is the one true path to power and money? loving really? ** And why in a state like WA and not anywhere more populous or purple? His districts while a congressman were in Spokane and Everett, true power centers of the west. Do you actually believe that the national media really gives a gently caress about anything west of the Mississippi outside of occasionally remembering that California exists? Why stop being in congress (and gaining the national spot light and seniority like our senators) and go for governor where he’ll be promptly ignored by the Chuck Todds and Jake Tappers? gently caress, his AG regularly outshines him.

Jay Inslee being a sociopath would actually give him a personality. In reality, he's trying to ride the line between capitalists and socialists, and so far he's done... ok, I guess? But he could be better. Like at this point you could argue the president has been pushed more to the left than Inslee has. If we actually had a viable leftist challenger, I'd vote for them just to see how far we can push Inslee before he breaks or gives in.

As a sociopath he also has no reason to accept any of the basically-pointless positions Biden had any chance of offering him.

Lol, while we wait to hear how “big environmentalism” is the path to personal riches and power... The Seattle Times quote:Tim Eyman, who for two decades has been Washington state’s most prolific conservative activist and political provocateur, committed “numerous and particularly egregious” violations of campaign finance law, a judge ruled Wednesday, as he barred Eyman from controlling the finances of political committees in the future. Suck it, rear end in a top hat.

One of my favorite youtube channels, Sampson Boat Co., is being bullied by Clallam County over his boat restoration project. It sounds like a single neighbor has been trying to gently caress with his project for the past 3 years and finally got the county to nail him on a creative interpretation of what his business actually is. The county is being weirdly aggressive as well, the board of community development told him straight-up his request for a permit won't be approved by the committee, despite having met all the legal requirements. He really should've gotten a lawyer a lot sooner but he has one now.

Lmao remember when local media smarties whispering that she might get pulled to serve some position or another in the Biden administration? Which made no sense because what did she bring that couldn’t do being a loyal soldier here in Oregon. I am pretty amused at how “open’r up” is totally cool when it’s a Democratic governor though. I did see that all students will have the option of staying remote but I didn’t see that mentioned for any of the teachers or other staff.

I did see that all students will have the option of staying remote but I didn’t see that mentioned for any of the teachers or other staff. Because of half my family members being state employees and haldf of those working for various school districts, I have a little bit of inside baseball knowledge about this process. I would be ok with the specific school my kids go to opening because it's an awesome magnate school that gets extra funding and support from a really strong parents organization. and seems to be doing the the right way with plenty of warning and lots of planning (which will now be derailed by being put on the governor's timeline). But it wouldn't be equitable to only open the schools where there is extra money and parent support available to smooth the process. The broader school district I don't trust to do this right, let alone a district as messed up as PPS. TO the north in Clark County, WA, it has been a complete shitshow. The teachers found out 1 week before students were to be in building, at the same time as the parents found out, via the same email. In Battleground school district teachers found out only because some of them had kids in the district and got the email that was intended for parents. Vancouver public schools is not honoring agreements with the teachers union. The contract says that they will provide PPE, and they aren't doing that. THe are also taking away prep time in favor of bringing the kids into the classrooms early just so they don't congregate elsewhere. I trust the science that if CDC recommendations are followed to a T, then transmission will be low, especially if teachers are all vaccinated. The SHOULD be able to do it. What I do not trust is that school districts will be well resourced enough or organized enough to do that. Even if we got a massive influx of federal dollars, it would take months for them to get organized enough to pull it off. Not that there is any excuse for that. They have had a year to figure it out. But they didn't start planning until they were told by their respective state and local governments that they had to re-open. Part of the problem is that while teachers are often great, management is usually incompetent.

The CDC recommendations are a joke and there's no mandate that the teachers need to be fully vaccinated. Like do you actually trust that this poo poo is either a) going to be implementable in schools or b) going to prevent the spread of an aerosol respiratory virus in a room full of kids?  Meanwhile, studies elsewhere showed that kids in school were far more likely to bring COVID back home and spread it to their families than adults were. https://twitter.com/Dr2NisreenAlwan/status/1345661874302578689?s=20

You also shouldn't trust your lovely magnet school. Forcing teachers back in school is going to kill a bunch of people, including many children, but it'll be hard to directly trace and impossible to hold anyone accountable so oh well. Definitely worth it for...two months of school before summer starts. I'm sure those 2 months will make all the difference for the children's lifetime trajectories.

In Oregon I think we will have most Elementary teachers vaccinated by March 29th. Certainly the Kindergarten and 1st grade teachers have been already, because at the beginning they were restricting vaccinations to younger grade teachers. Our kids' school district had only been planning to open k-1 on march 29th and was going to be phasing in 2-5 in mid April, and middle schools later than that. They are doing about 2 hours of in person instruction on Monday and Tuesday for half of the kids who's parents are opting for hybrid, remote only on Wednesday, and then the other half of them Thursday and Friday. No lunch at school, but brown bags for free and reduced lunch kids to go home with. I think that would be possible to do safely, and at the school my kids go to I think it would be done correctly. But again, the broader school district I have my doubts about. I think there is an important social and psychological benefit to kids attending in person school. I just also think that most school districts are not capable of doing it safely enough to make it worth it. Our kids are learning but they would be doing a lot better emotionally if they were having some in-person school. I feel less safe about this now that the Governor is setting the timeline instead of school districts. My wife is a teacher, so I am very aware of how teachers are feeling being forced back to work. In the district we live in they informed teachers ahead of time and gave parents at least a month notice ahead of opening k-01. Given vaccines have been available for teachers for a month in OR at this point and we still have 3 weeks until kids are back to school, I think that' somewhat reasonable. My district also appears to have options for remote only and hopefully teachers with high risk family members at home can be slotted into. My wife teaches in WA and we got next to no notice. They told the parents before telling the teachers or their union. They haven't honored their agreements with the union to provide PPE. Nobody is being allowed to remain remote. Any my wife has only been vaccinated at this point because she lives in OR. WA just opened it up for teachers last week or something, but they were back mid-February. It's a total loving shitshow up north. I don't think it will be nearly as bad down here.

I have friends who are teachers who are younger and got vaccinated. That's good. The priority process should meant that if young teachers are living with older people, the older people and immuno-compromised should be also vaccinated. Assuming that, is there a reason we can't start phased return to school?. I understand the reluctance but we need to be reasonable about the roles schools play as subsidized day care.

And again this is for severely diminished value since they'll only be in school from April to June. Restarting hybrid for everyone in the heavily immunized future of September is very obviously the better idea.
