So despite all the praise heaped on the Scandinavian Way, it looks like the wealthy Norwegians are moving away, due to being tired of the high taxes.  Soon, the money will have to come from the middle class.  Money to pay for all that "free" stuff that Bernie Sanders likes to point out.

Informational No-Man's Land.  COVID-19 transformed our media.  And not in a good way.

Mayor Dan Holladay was right.  He was strongly against lockdowns and closing business.  He was against the BLM protests and supported the police.  He supported fireworks on the Fourth of July.  And they voted him out.  Here's to you, Dan - you were right all along.

I've seen some people feel that the drive to have people return to the office is because companies have these buildings that need to be occupied.  They look at articles like these, and feel that by resisting going to the office, they are "sticking it to the man" and it makes them happy.  The truth is that lease contracts have been made, and whether they return or not doesn't impact these.  But if these office buildings end being abandoned, as they are in San Francisco, then cities will lose a large part of their tax base, and services and just about everything else will decline for those who choose to live there.  No raindrop thinks its responsible for the flood.  Same with these workers.  Cities will then become the dystopian hellholes you currently see only in movies.  We're seeing it already.

Case in point as to why developers are leaving Portland.  What a loss.
