I told my boss I enjoy collecting rocks and he hit me with "Aren't you too young for that?"

On the one hand there are so many nicer bodies of water nearby. On the other it is terrible to allow people to hoard what should be a public resource. Based on my experience the vast majority of Oregonians are respectful of our lakes so the community fighting this so hard reeks of classism.

I work in building code enforcement and reading code is not a skill that everyone has, you can't just logic your way through regulations. The intent of codes is often murky but this one is clear, we aren't meant to have three term presidents no matter what semantic nonsense is brought up.

She basically admitted she needs an income and this is all she knows how to do in the interview. Putting down establishment media which wouldn't continue funding her lifestyle due to her poor performance is just the inevitable outcome of being incapable of self reflecting.

The people running these mines are the problem. The whole article is littered with problems created by lean management and lobbying to allow you to kill your employees as long as it's slowly.

Being annoyed and angry at everything is the problem. When a stranger who you eavesdropped on at brunch, a random Twitter commenter and an actual politican are all part of the woke cabal judging you then you never have to look at your own beliefs and actions. Plus this is all performative.

They should blame Buckley. He had every opportunity to create a viable intellectual right, unless there is some barrier to such a thing I'm unaware of...

What are we supposed to do, zip tie our microwaves to our coffee grinders so they can't rise up against us...?

There's no way he doesn't smell weird. Super weird too like...orange blossom and rotting duck with a hint of ozone but not overpowering just strong enough to make you look around and say "Did someone leave duck l'orange under the heat lamp for the last year?"

It's amazing to me how much of our political landscape is still molded by the red scare

We are slippery slopeing the worst, dumbest, greediest pieces of garbage into leadership positions. If his arguments make sense to you please go read a few books on basic logic.

I wish we could stop obsessing over dumb shit that we can't change. When I was a kid we were going to fuck ourselves to collapse now we are going to nor fuck ourselves to collapse. Maybe our leaders just like to make us afraid of collapse so we don't set their yachts on fire.

"Block the administrations illegal dismantling of the agency" you mean. It was created by Congress, the fundamental concept our government is based on is having coequal branches of government. One branch wantonly destroying the work of another is explicitly against the founders' ideals.

We should remove the bottle tax entirely. The recycling system is totally different from when this was implemented, people are used to it now and keeping the tax is antithetical to the bill's original intentions.

I wish we would stop accepting the framing that population decline will adversely effect the taxpayer because they phrase it as if they mean the rest of us even though it will really only impact the 1%

I wonder which member of the current business plot is already manufacturing modular cardboard houses for the Trumpvilles in our near future

I hate that my parents raised me to be a well regulated, respectful and supportive man even though the culture which suffuses my every waking moment wants me to be a Donkey Kong TNT barrel

This "just sayin'" era of journalism is going to destroy us. The number of times I saw "Wuhan lab" in headlines made it seem more plausible than the text of those articles described.

Anyone who flies regularly knows these people are morons, business class TV's are immediately turned to FOX the second they sit down.

This is some bullshit, Democrats don't have a cohesive and engaging vision of the future which clearly explains how they will make people's lives better. Just having better messaging about extremist Republican talking points isn't going to change the political landscape.

These are the people obsessed with pretending the US should be a meritocracy, almost as if they don't believe a single word that comes out of their mouths.

I've met tons of oregonians that still blame the spotted owl and endangered species act for killing the timber industry even though the vast majority of forests in the state are logged and modernization killed most of the jobs they thing the government killed

Why are employers not paying people enough to survive without welfare? Why are health insurance companies doing their best to deny as many claims as possible? Why are newspapers still steelmanning Trump's BS? Why is congress not wielding it's constitutionally granted powers?

Nuance gets reported on once in the middle/end of an article but the top line info is always "Trump promises to lower egg prices"

The problem is he shouldn't be able to bomb anyone without a formal declaration of war and we don't do that anymore because the legislative branch is too busy fundraising and shitposting. It's insane that we still give the executive branch nearly limitless power to bomb weddings in other countries.

They are always playing word games. The intention of the action is what matters but we can't get past their characterization because people fundamentally cannot process an action without knowing how to describe it

Great, more regressive one-off taxes. If the Oregon government can't fund it's obligations through the income tax it already collects nickel and dimeing every product you can easily scapegoat isn't good policy.

We get it you need more pump before you dump but the government doesn't need to alley-oop yet another massive transfer of wealth away from poor people to the super wealthy when the whole system is already designed to do the same job

Build a hotel if you want short term rentals. The creation of an app did not constitute broad societal approval to have strangers living next to you every other week.

So many decades of us wasting time with ambassadors, third party negotiators, having people read previous international agreements to make sure we aren't violating the law, and putting the work in to resolve conflicts when we could have just had our guy call your guy and gab
