Oregon needs a broad path to stem homelessness. Broad path? I think Oregon needs to build a facility to put the drug-abusing, randomly-violent, property-defacing, disease-carrying people in. Separate them from their drugs. Force them to get on the path of rehab. It would have been easier had this problem been taken care of much earlier, but now it has to be a bulk effort, which is distasteful, but absolutely necessary. Instead, Oregon outsources the job to "agencies". These agencies know that if the problem is actually solved, there would be no need for them. Yes, Oregon has way too many committees, and not enough actionSo much ineptitude.

Portland can't have nice things. REI is moving out of Portland soon. Going to Beaverton. And Hoffman Construction is moving out of downtown Portland for Lake Oswego. Enough is enough.

This is why inflation isn't going away. Biden Cancels $5 Billion in Student Debt. This is going to affect a significant part of the economy, and injects more fiat currency into the economy, without any underlying productivity gain to society, keeping inflation high. Union employees will complain about their reduced purchasing power. And it's not debt cancellation. It's debt transferrence.

Have you heard loud booms when it was freezing? Someone thought it was another transformer blowing. Instead it could be frost quakes
