Good. Heat and granular activated carbon can detoxify water from PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). Not too expensive, and it sounds like it could be incorporated into standard water treatment facilities.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel is being turned over to the lender. No official foreclosure, but the end result is about the same.
Court filings also revealed the Ritz-Carlton hotel is suffering from canceled bookings, as guests hesitate to commit to events or stays at a property “whose ability to provide services is uncertain.”
“Likewise, the sale of residential condominium units and the lease of office space has been depressed by the Project’s uncertain financial situation,” Ovalle wrote.
Sounds like Portland.
And remote work is here to stay for Oregon employees. No one wants to go into Portland to work at the office.
More students are choosing alternatives to Portland public schools.
the capture rate of students enrolling in PPS schools this academic year was 69% for high school, 71% for middle school, and 75% for elementary school.
The rates, calculated using census data, vary by high school attendance area and grade level, but are generally lower than PPS rates in the past. The news also comes as PPS’s enrollment is dipping faster than at school districts statewide.
Can't blame them. Kids aren't learning in these schools.

Oregon and Washington are so behind in renewable energy. Pretty much the entire nation is doing better. But we still have to pay all those taxes.

An increasing number of retirees are not waiting to full retirement to start taking out Social Security money. Some need the money now. Some aren't sure they'll live long enough to make it worthwhile to wait. Some aren't sure how long Social Security is going to last. Interesting fact: immigrants (legal) can get Social Security payments if their work history in their home country is allowed them to get work credits, even if they did not take paycheck deductions to pay for this scheme. This is why SS is running out of money. So many eaters at the trough. This is why socialist systems ultimately break down. Every politician wants to give away favors for a vote.

Tina Kotek is not going to stop providing health care for illegal immigrants. So instead, there will be increased taxes and budget cuts so you get less of what you paid taxes on. And the Oregon government is suing Trump because they need more money.
