Isn't it always?

 

657% increase “fair and reasonable”
No good deed will go unpunished.

Property taxes to no more than 3% a year, in Oregon.

 

The fun times. I remember walking around this area in the 70's looking for hippies and winos to buy us 'underage for Cali' sailors booze for a few bucks over the price.

Too bad SF turned completely anti-military and lost all the local bases because the locals reps didn't care during BRAC (https://www.acq.osd.mil/brac/) as it was a hell of a lot of fun back them.

Oregon math, reading achievement among the nation’s worst, new scores show

In the latest confirmation that extended pandemic-era school closures took a huge toll on a generation of young Oregonians, new federal test results show the state’s middle and elementary students still lag far behind in reading and math.


Pre-pandemic, Oregon students regularly bested those in other states or at least ranked near national averages on the National Assessment of Education Progress, the only standardized achievement test given to a representative sample of students in all states.

These poor kids are still being affected by bad decisions during the pandemic.

I'm exhausted by all this winning.

I can't keep up.

That silly argument won't fly anymore.

But you're welcome to hide them in your basement. It'll keep'em out of trouble.

 

It's "equity" they care about. Not lives.

I reported it, as I don't appreciate being called a Nazi for being for the enforcement of constitutional immigration laws in America that every country on the planet also has and enforces with equal or more vigor.

I hope the mods take it seriously. I got called on the mat this morning for suggesting the possibility that someone here was 'being dense'.

The rule I supposedly broke was 'name calling'.

 

 

I didn't even know Venezuela was holding American hostages. Who are they? How long have they been there? Why were they detained?

Fact is, I'm terrified of the future.

Imagine how terrified those 300,000 missing kids that were trafficked into the USA must feel.
