Your taxes will likely have to go up, despite Biden’s $400K pledge.  It's clear – money has to be printed to support spending. All the money for forgiving college loans and feeding illegal migrants contributes to inflation, as this printed money enters the economy.
High prices are not due to "corporate greed" (as Biden says) or the just the Fed pumping up banks (as the Redditors like to say).

That would be nice. New tech may allow fully charging on smartphones in just 60 seconds.

So much COVID-19 revisionist history.
Here's my favorite video of the day:

If you want to publish in The Lancet, you can't say "male" and "female" anymore. You have to say "sex assigned at birth". Mental illness.

And Seattlites will keep voting for the same kind of Democrat leadership.

Public school defenders don't like the move to increase school vouchers. It would take more students out of public schools and allow parents to put their kids in private schools. Why are public schools being shunned? It's because of crap like this.  Teachers can't keep their sex lives nor their politics out of the classroom, and when people push back, they hide behind a "freedom of speech" defense.
Update: Portland Public Schools removed the anti-semitic book from their website.

The Oregon College of Oriental Medicine is closing. They spent money renovating an old hotel, and for a while it looked pretty spiffy, and they owned prime real estate in downtown Portland. No more. It's a liability now. Thanks for Ted Wheeler and city leadership.

Someone found a way to hack into all the saved "memories" that Microsoft is building into their Windows 11 Recall. Yeah, if a hacker can do it, probably so can Redmond. No privacy.

A child prodigy that remained a prodigy into adulthood. And he seems to be a nice guy. That's rare.

Boy, those Oregon state psychiatrists sure have it good. They get paid way more than the typical salaries for psychiatrists in Oregon. So many of them on the state dole, and yet the state has so many mentally ill people. Why is that?

Trump is Orange Mandela now.

Many Oregon newspapers are shutting down or thinning out. They're just vehicles for ads now, basically. We still need local reporters, but less so than before. But reporters seem to get more eyeballs for what they post on X/Twitter than on MSM media, especially since Elon Musk took over.  The old business model is over.
