Why not check the thing out before posting? It has nothing to do with preventing toddlers or disabled people from drinking beverages.

I had no idea who Pam Roach was so I Googled her and the first result was quite telling

ADVERTISING

It's been scientifically proven that spending time in the woods is healthy and it increases mental acuity and mood, spending time at work - not so much

Do they think Amazon's just going to set fire to the campus here?
I wouldn't really be surprised.

Eugene spent a shitload of money in tax breaks and other incentives to get Sony to bring a disc manufacturing plant here and it lasted for maybe 5 or 10 years. It's common practice for a company to move where the best incentives are and then once they've squeezed all they can out of it they simply move on to a new place with new incentives.

Wild Turkeys are really becoming a problem. My folks have a couple dozen that hang out in their driveway pecking at the chrome on their cars. I'm pretty sure my dad has shot and eaten a couple by now.

I've never seen the poster either so could you let us know what you mean by "what kind of group they are"?

It should be pretty safe to assume that people advocating for a "Cascadia" state are libertarians at best.
Considering the PNW's history as the last bastion of whiteness and the KKK, it's pretty easy to guess.. But seriously, we all know that anythig that calls itself "true" or "real" or "values" or "family" is obviously going to be about undermining those very things... For instance, "therealdonaldtrump" is as unreal as it gets, and has literally contributed to increasing the disparity between reality and belief in the minds of many citizens...

I've run into alot of progressives who throw around the idea of Cascadia, just to get away from the republican states loving over our progressive agenda. I don't think people usually think too deeply about it.
That's only because JPR (and local NPR as a whole,) keep :jerkbag: about The State of Jefferson and how wondrous (and white, but they don't mention that bit) it would be, without actually bringing up the fact that it was a ridiculous protest started by a bunch of angry white farmers who wanted government handouts but were too lazy to protest more than once a week.

No, really... The original State of Jefferson "Revolt" only happened on like, Tuesdays. Officially. Some journalist from St Louis or something heard about it and rushed cross-country to gin up a story about "the last cowboys fighting against the man", but it turned out that Japan bombed Pearl harbor like 15 days after the "revolt" began, and the government realized that they really, really wanted more infrastructure on the west coast (which was the whole point of the revolt - to get dams and highways built out here so farmers who decided to grow crops in the mountains in the middle of nowhere, could sell their goods more easily.)
