So this guy thinks Apple is morphing into a service company. That's the strategy that IBM took. What happened to IBM? Tim Cook seems to be just about at the end of the Steve Jobs momentum. Where will the company go next? iPhones are "not exciting enough for an upgrade". Isn't it time for Cook to retire yet? When I re-watch at old Steve Jobs videos, it was clear that the company had a real innovator. Not so anymore.

Are Harris and Trump really neck-and-neck? I wondered about that, too. The real reason for reporting a close race is so Dems can cheat and have plausible deniability. If the polls reported the truth, no one would believe that Harris really won. But if people were to believe the race is close, well then, when they report the winner, no one should be surprised, right?

Portland healthcare quality continues to ratchet downwards. Labcorp, which now does the labs for Legacy and Providence, is going to downsize for efficiency, and consolidate, resulting in layoffs. And testing that is being done at the $20 million facility Legacy built in 2016 is being transferred to Providence's Halsey facility. And all those union gains from last year? Sad trombone. It's due to "rising healthcare costs". Speaking of rising costs, health insurance rates in Oregon are increasing a lot.

Not much sympathy for union workers at Fred Meyer. Judging from reader comments, it seems that Portland Fred Meyer workers regard their clientele as "classless, rude and threatening" and they want to be paid at least $27/ hour. And your shopping experience at Wilsonville or Lake Oswego is far superior. Blue city blues.

Another one bites the dust. The Community Cycling Center in Northeast Portland is running out of money and may have to close. Sucks to run a business in Portland, doesn't it? Who did you vote for? Yeah I read that there are 16,000 more unemployed in Oregon compared with last year. Soon to be more, I guess.

What's with Portland's candidates?
- Rene Gonzalez Frequently Ticketed for Speeding, Often Failed to Show up in Court and Twice Had License Suspended
- Carmen Rubio racked up 150 parking, traffic violations, 6 driver’s license suspensions
- Eli Arnold Arrested for Theft, Criminal Trespass, Robbery
Can't we have, you known, normal people run the city?
