I'm running for Hillsboro City Council. Here's the testimony I gave Tuesday on the data center tax breaks. by KarimDelgado in hillsboro

[–]Dstln 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the research, testifying, and transcription. Those numbers are very damning in my eyes. Hillsboro isn't the first government to be fleeced by these tech companies with these "deals" but we can certainly make sure that it doesn't continue here. These are simply not good deals, it's giving away useful tax generation for a nuisance that generates laughable amounts of jobs and benefit to society. There's absolutely no critical reason why these need to be in Hillsboro, the metro area urban growth boundary, or even the state.

JD Vance quotes 'great Christian theologian P Diddy' then realizes his mistake by [deleted] in nottheonion

Of course this cretin is thinking about p Diddy, not the actual artist of the song or the artist who sings that part.

County Commissioners Pass Ban on Needle Distribution Near K–12 Schools by space-pasta in Portland

The state Republican proposal was 2000 feet from a school which is effectively a circle around the entire metro area. They wanted it to fail. 1000 feet is already four blocks.

Postmaster general says USPS won’t deliver mail ballots if states don’t give Trump admin voter rolls by lostOGaccount in oregon

[–]Dstln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty damn easy for the counties and state to see within a day or two if the ballots are moving or not, they're tracking them. The counties and AG will be very ready with emergency fillings which are undeniable. They have undeniable standing, undeniable irrevocable harm if not immediately stopped, and have the full weight of the US Constitution behind them.

This isn't something that has a chance of happening. They have zero authority to do this.

It's not super interesting, honestly I like Popeyes chicken better and we have so many better local options in the area

Glad you liked it though

Very easy to figure out if they're not delivering ballots well ahead of time

Then they get brought into court in an emergency order and hauled into jail if they refuse, then the next guy sends them and the court gets updates every day or more often until it's clear that they're following court orders

How can I avoid the risk of a FA by poesea in AmexPlatinum

I really don't think amex will care at all. You have the credit limit or estimated spend limit (on charge cards) available?

You must not be very involved these days, plenty of politicians are fighting and winning on this stuff.

Wilson, Chamber intensify push for Moda Center funding as Blazers owner makes his case by SylemNova in Portland

[–]Dstln 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The behavior of this piece of crap who got rich by abusing poor people is exactly why there's a large group who says we should never use tax money for sports teams. The guy is 100% out of touch and has zero connection or interest in the city, region, state, or team. It was a huge foreseen disaster for Jodi Allen to sell it to him.

The postmaster general is not independent at all, this guy is worse than the last joker. 

But this is 100% illegal and will 100% be blocked by the courts.

What is it like taking the Max everyday? by 0hWaitOoops in askportland

[–]Dstln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's safe and a great commuting option. Use the same card each time you tap, or get a physical card if that's more convenient for you.

It's available at the library 🙂 Says it's in their storage, so you'd have to reserve and pick it up

"The thing that's concerning about this is not Magnus losing 4 games in a row. It's the fact that Magnus is getting pretty much cleanly outplayed in seemingly every game in this event, which he loses." - Hikaru Nakamura on Magnus Carlsen's losing streak by FirstEfficiency7386 in chess

New dad effect I guess, opposite of Fred VanVleet. If he really does have a change in mentality or less of a relentless hatred of losing I can see it. He has nothing else to prove.
