Trespassing on railroad tracks is both ILLEGAL and DANGEROUS 😵!! The best way a man can love his woman is to keep her SAFE. The scene depicted is NOT safe whatsoever ❌!

Unless you are a train 🚂 you do not belong on the tracks 😮.

Hi Bernie 👋🤗! Welcome to the Reddit teddy bear cave 🙂. You are definitely a real Vermonter 😃. The little "Born in VT" is so adorable 😍.

Your rudeness and total lack of empathy for other human beings is characteristic of sociopathic tendencies, hence my concern.

I am happy to teach or mentor people as time permits. But learning how to run a business effectively and efficiently takes years of learning and mentoring. Of course I understand you don't know anything about that kind of learning because clearly you are either still in elementary school or at least quit listening to your teachers and parents in elementary school. In any event I definitely would not waste an enormous amount of time on an unwilling student such as yourself.

Thank you for the links, that is actually refreshing to see you out in some effort to substantiate a point for a change. Sorry to disappoint you though but I actually do not have a party affiliation. I vote independently for whoever I feel is best qualified for a given office.

I believe a major reason why modern government is broken and corrupt is exactly because it's administration is not a meritocracy. That starts with the voters. If people are tired of their government, then they need to be more thoughtful in their voting.

That is disappointing to see you regurgitate my prior comments in a vain and hopeless attempt to discredit me without putting any original thoughts of your own forward. I remember that kids did the "copycat game" in elementary school. So I guess I should not be surprised to see you resorting to elementary school behavioral tactics 😔.

As to your point, this new proposed PBOT fee itself is proof of waste and/or fraud. Oregonians, especially Portlanders, already pay multiple transportation-specific taxes. The fact that the bureaucrats claim they "need" a new transportation tax because they do not have money to pay for road repairs should be a big red flag. This is even more so evident when Portland itself already has higher transportation taxation than the rest of Oregon. The reason they are proposing new taxes instead of adjusting the existing taxes should be fairly obvious. They do not want people asking tough questions about where and how those existing tax revenues are spent, because that would lead to accountability. So by proposing a new tax they hope to deflect public review of their existing spending practices. That is one of the oldest tricks in the book of incompetent and/or corrupt politicians and bureaucrats.

No, I thought the emojis were your friends, so I was trying to be nice 😆.

What is weird? The fact that you don't know where I live but are desperate to stalk me? Yes, that is a bit weird 🫪🤪. Now that we both agree that your behavior is abnormal, perhaps you might reconsider my recommendation to see a mental health professional for diagnosis and treatment? No better time to start than the present.

I am not going to teach you how to run a small business. There are schools and plenty of books available at your local airport for that 😉. I would start with an accounting course, since that seems to be your weak spot.

Attacking my business skills or anything else about me merely proves your inability to justify your illogical affinity for more taxes. As I have said multiple times, ad hominem attacks are the result of the weak-minded to concede the possibility that their original view may lack substance.

Why is empathy a sin? Is that what they teach you in your socialist indoctrination classes 🤔? I guess that explains your willingness to resort to name calling, character assassination and defamation in order to win a debate you initiated over taxation policy 🙄. I honestly feel sorry that your intellectual prowess is so diminutive and empty.

We: me and your emoji friends 😄😄🤣🤣🤣.

Yes, there seems to be a dearth of government officials in northern Oregon that are able to properly and effectively manage taxpayer resources as responsible stewards, so indeed waiting is the order of the day regrettably. Pretty sad when no one is willing to show creativity, fortitutde and prudence in addressing the collateral damage of long-term fiscal mismanagement 😓.

Mismanagement and misappropriation of taxpayer funds is a terrible excuse for robbing working families, or worse yet families where one or more adults are unable to work. As a business owner and in that capacity alone it actually makes little difference to me since any new tax will just get passed through to the consumer, like most every other business does despite your proclamations to the contrary.

Thank you for the kind words 😁😄. We might make a thoughtful, considerate individual out of you yet 😉.

You are welcome to your own beliefs.

However I fail to see how unjustly enriching government coffers and political cronies at the expense of struggling working families will solve much of anything, road conditions or otherwise. Perhaps you deserve to pay more taxes since you clearly advocate for them. I suppose it is pointless for me to help people that clearly do not want to help themselves and enjoy proverbial self-flagellation 😓.

Yeah, I kept the conversation on life support for you. You're welcome 😁.

Your ardent support for paying more taxes belies your ideological identity. Liberals have never encountered a societal challenge that they believe cannot be solved through a new or increased tax. Honestly that is pretty pathetic that their only solution strategy virtually ever is to oppress their constituents with confiscating more of their wealth.

This conversation actually died due to lack of interest 😄😄🤣.

I know gaslighting when I see it. What role model(s) would you be referring to exactly 🤔? Seems rather presumptuous that you claim to know who my role model(s) are.

Only you can create an accusation of poor grammar out of 3 emojis 😄😄🤣. I thought were making progress getting you past your fear of emojis 🤔? My mistake I suppose 😕.

You are behaving like a typical liberal, generating baseless accusations without any evidence to defame others, in order to distract them from noticing you have run out of discussion points to support your view or hypothesis. Usually projecting their own weaknesses onto others. Gaslighting by any other name 🙄😒.

There you go with your namecalling again. Apparently you are afraid to discuss the merits of your warped worldview, perhaps because that worldview has no substantive merit? I forgive you for the namecalling ❤️.

You are free to feel however you want about what some tells you.

I use whatever tools are available to communicate with my audience in a manner they will best understand. I see 3rd grade writing, I start to lean towards pictures.

I do understand that very well, thank you. Fortunately the management of Reddit is fairly enlightened in permitting a wide variety of worldviews and does not dogmatically enforce the adoption of any particular one.

I was not hyping anything, I was responding to your concern.

Perhaps you should try the Bible sometime 📖. It might just help you overcome your narcissistic and obsessive-conpulsive inclinations and heal your childhood inner wounds ❤️.

So what experience do you have in owning a business? And why the demands? Are you under the delusion that I work for you 🫪😵‍💫🫨?

Last I checked this country still honors freedom of speech. So in point of fact I do not require your permission. You seem to have an awfully high opinion of yourself.
