Oregon is second worst in the nation for pharmacy access. It's similar to that for physicians – only those employed by large entities will survive.

More on the Gordon's Fireplace fiasco. Seems like there is fault on both sides. Portland, for letting the red tape make the process take too long and demanding changes that are not the developer's resposibility, and InterUrban Development for just hanging on too long to a dead project, letting things deteriorate, while not paying all fines. The property is virtually unsellable now – only good for demolition.

Lars Larson has an opinion on the Oregon Supreme Court's decision that defendants without attorneys need to be released. He's not quite accurate that Democras were cleared of the obligation to take on court-appointed indigent cases. As far as I can see, there has been no ruling on that. They can't decline without a valid reason (such as conflict of interest). But "overworked attorneys" have been begging the Court to excuse them from work and dismiss cases. But not with the seriousness of some of the accusations. We just don't have enough qualified people in Oregon. Just like with everything else.

Wow, is this really true? Is this the guy responsible for deciding policy on vaccinations? He got his start in New York as a someone "overseeing vaccine equity efforts". Then the Biden administration tapped him to become the Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.

Is Multnomah County still giving away tents, tarps and syringes to the homeless? Apparently so, and that's why they need more of your tax money.

Older workers are sticking around. "People between 65 and 69 years old make up the largest share of workers 55 and older." Sad state of affairs. I bet they have to continue to work, and lucky for them, the younger set often isn't qualified, so it all works out, I guess.

Rare and 'unusual' cancers are emerging after the Covid pandemic. Think it's really just COVID-19? And nothing else? What else started around 2021? Doctors don't really want to know.
And look at Chris Cuomo trying to retcon what he said during the pandemic? (And people wonder why we read conservative news.)

Is this true? Virtually all the new job growth last year was from illegal aliens? Tomorrow, we'll be getting another report on employment, and it's expected to be below consensus.
