The mRNA vax can cross into the placenta.

Our findings suggest that the vaccine mRNA is not localized to the injection site and can spread99
systemically to the placenta and umbilical cord blood.
A lot of pregnant women got the jab. I've heard of miscarriages soon after the jab. I wonder how would have if they knew this untested product would flow into their unborn baby? I suspect many would not. Too late now.

And now the American Red Cross cares if a prospective donor was vaxxed? What have you discovered, Red Cross?

By 13 weeks, it's clear that there is a human being, but not at the frozen embryo stage. Would you charge a woman who had a miscarriage with murder? It's like calling a seed a tree.

I saw this post on Reddit, stating that when it comes to saving auto manufacturing jobs, Biden delivers and Trump only talks. Anyone who pays attention knows that can't possibly be true, so I decided to look into the details. The video creator was referring to the time Trump attempted to save jobs in Lordstown, OH, when GM decided to close their plant. Many workers would soon be unemployed, but It seemed to have been saved by Lordstown Motors, a startup company, coming in and buying the plant and starting the manufacture of new electric trucks. Trump praised them, and for a while things looked favorable. But as you know, electric vehicle tech was still inadequate, and the owners got involved with SPACs, who wanted to take the company public before it was ready. There were overstated reports of how well the company was doing, and eventually they ran out of money and were not able to produce vehicles. Very sad outcome, but not really Trump's fault.
Then the Biden example involves the Stellantis deal, where Biden shilled for the union (UAW) and it appeared that things went in the union's favor. This is different, because we are not talking about an iffy startup playing around with shaky technology. This is just putting influence and pressure to score a union victory. One auto worker even stated
When he heard about the reopening, Robert Stacy, another laid-off worker, said he felt “shock, happiness, and then a little disappointed finding out that it was going to take so long.” He is grateful for the g plant’s revival but said he felt the economy was better under Trump.
And Foxconn later bought the failing company and is continuing to manufacture EVs there on a Taiwanese platform, so all is not lost in Lordstown.
Meanwhile, Biden and Kamala tried to nurture Proterra, the electric bus company, but it failed utterly. So Biden ain't doing so hot with electric vehicles either.
The Reddit post is locked, so I couldn't show him this.

Even though the city is full of vacant office space, Portland can't find space for the 12 extra city council members that were voted in. The reason? They think their offices should have internet fiber, for the fastest connections. They're not doing internet-intensive work, like medical centers do with electronic health records. They're not providing cloud services to edge computing devices. They're just doing routine government work. Why is it necessary to rip up the streets to install fiber to the offices. This is why Portland is dysfunctional, and why they need all that tax money.

Emergency rooms are mess. It seems to have started right around the time the COVID-19 vax products were released. Hospitals started to go on divert status so often, because everyone was turning COVID-positive and demanded to be seen. Then they instituted COVID protocols, and everyone had to get vaxxed or quit. So many DID quit. Then the remaining staff were so stressed that many of them left anyway. And hospitals shut down elective procedures and lost money. And they spent money on expensive traveling nurses and lost money. Then the nurses went on strike, and they had boost pay. Then as people got poorer and had to go on Medicaid, hospitals saw loss reimbursement and decreased revenue. And nursing homes lost staff, so that they couldn't accept patients from hospitals as much as before, so hospitals were stuck with patients they couldn't release, and so the EDs couldn't admit as much, and so the EDs became jammed. And hospital EDs became such dismal overcrowded places to go, that people started avoiding them as much as possible, and so money was lost as well. It was a slow process for unnecessarily harsh COVID protocols to be relaxed in the Blue states, which suffered the most.

The solution I would offer: Open up a supplementary ED somewhere and sent all the drug overdoses there. No need to make the rest of the city suffer from the policies of Oregon legislature. Set up a secondary ambulance system just for the drug overdoses, too. Incentivize nursing homes to start taking in those needing their services.

Here's another solution – micro-hospitals. Pennsylvania is doing it. Build it, and send the overdose cases there. Don't let the rest of Portland suffer.
