moonbeam dad and moonbeam 2 were o-kay. not great but average as far as governors go, and better then most state governors at least

moonbeam dad with the State Water Project was kinda slick because they were like 'man if we put a price tag too high on this voters are going to reeeeeeeee so lets just call it an even 1.9 billion and find the money later to finish it'

Gentrification has made central Portland even more white and pushed almost all people of color to the east of the 205. It is has been a complete disaster for everyone except developers.

I actually, Browns were certainly the best of the modern governors but then it is a complete drop off. Pat was better than his son (he expanded the UCs and arguably is the reason the Silcon Valley exists in the first place).

In Portland, it just hit pretty much all at once where it went from a white working-class city that was living 20-30 years into the past to basically an even more white version of West LA in like the space of 5 years. COVID has just amp'ed up the disparities further where the places that are still in business are solely catering to yuppies while the rest of the population is just barely scrapping by or literally out in the cold. It isn't that different than the rest of the US in an overall trend but the timing is something else.

I mean, he's pretty good as a person, but Tex Wasabi's was really, really bad and expensive, and he absolutely could have done better if he had actually tried.

I went there twice (the second time my mom wanted to go because she loves his show), and he owes me $120.
