Go woke, go broke. Vice.com is shutting down. And glad to see that Soros lost some investment money, too.

California’s Budget Deficit Is Even Worse Than Originally Projected. As Rand Paul warned, Newsom should be kept as far from the White House as possible.

Somehow I don't believe it. Clackamas Co. records 65% decline in homelessness from 2019 to 2023. Really? With the proximity of Johnson Creek and the Springwater Corridor? Maybe that proximity made is easier to shove things over onto Multnomah County. Let's keep Portland shit in Portland.

Could be big. Oregon lawmakers could limit corporate ownership of medical practices. When Obamacare disincentivized independent medical practices, because you couldn't compete with hospitals for hospital pricing, many doctors dissolved their clinics and became hospital employees, or their practices were bought out by private equity. This law could force the latter to try to make it independent docs again, or become hospital employees. That would be unfortunate. No longer could your physician recommend what he/she thought was best, but rather had to conform to hospital policy. What they're after seems to be Amazon buying practices. But while I understand where they're coming from (where were they all these years?) it limits the options doctors will have. Since independent clinics are financially tricky, many docs will have no choice but to work for one of the hospitals. How does that help the public?

Funny story about FedEx. It's like they're behaving just like scammers trying to phish you.

Student loan holders might like the thought of "debt cancellation" but it's really insidiously evil and unfair for all these reasons. It's really debt transfer, and why should I have to pay off someone else's loans? Plus it adds to inflation and the national debt, and taxes will have to go up to support it. Biden needs to go.
