SE Portland Wells Fargo bank has to close due to safety concerns from a nearby homeless camp. How much are Portlanders going to tolerate? And Metro is going to tax us more to fund the homelessness grift. It's a business model for a lot of people now, and you're going to fund their salaries.
And the planned sobering/deflection center won't ready until 2025. Probably because it has to be $2 million in capital improvements. Nothing but the best for our homeless. That's why we have so many – second highest in the nation. Multnomah County doesn't seem to want to actually address the problem. They will open up a drop-off center in about 50 days but will only require a referral there. Honestly, who is actually going to show up there? Portland-area officials think it's not going to last.
Update (13 Jul 2024): They moved it to 2026! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As the demand for power grows, the U.S. and Canada reach an agreement on hydropower, to make sure we have enough water.

AT&T text message system has been hacked. Although only metadata was stolen, who knows what's in it? And many banks and financial institutions still send authentication codes by text message. This should stop.

Saks OFF 5th is closing in Westlake Mall in downtown Seattle. That means layoffs. Less foot traffic. Adjacent stores will suffer because there's even less reason to travel downtown and shop. And more unemployment and decreased taxbase for Seattle (and Washington). But what is Seattle leadership doing about it? Supplying the criddlers with drug paraphernalia, that's what.
