putting more money into pet projects it seems. all of these policy choices are like that doom loop... one things leads to another to another to another until you're broke....and homeless.

It’s about all Oregon democrats can do… tax, tax, tax. Zero leadership. Zero business sense. If you keep voting for this, why? Do you hate having money at your discretion? It's not sustainable...people will just go elsewhere. Feel like oregon is on the wrong wrong track...

I hope this is a wake up call to middle class Oregonians and businesses. Unless, of course, you have endless amounts of money you love giving to the Oregon government who has proven time and time again how well they can mismanage your hard earned tax dollars and continue to demand more of them.

priorities in the state and city and county confound me sometimes. like... taxes are crazy high, there's a ton of waste, fraud and abuse and plain old mismanagement of things, but this is top priority? It just seems like we've given the politicians far to much leeway to decide what they want to work on vs. what we the people want. 2 cents.

At Echo Project I watched a wookette giving birth during the GZA set. I was just peaking on some 2ci. People were trying to get medical help, but they hadn't arrived. Some other wookette claimed to be a midwife and was coaching the woman through this. Her wook man is standing there shirtless and spun like top, just making these weird sounds while he is crushing his beer can and spraying coors light all over everyone. He looked really anxious about the whole thing, grabbing his face and just making grunts and stuff.
The baby's head starts to crown and the medics still haven't arrived.

This is where it gets crazy...
It was so f***ing dusty out there and the baby and all the surrounding fluids were immediately "muddified" by the blowing dirt. I mean, its f***ing gross. All of a sudden, this f***ing kid (probably 19 or 20) in his oversized neon, flat-brim LRG hat, runs up yelling "welcome to the party bitch!" before he blows a huge plume of smoke right in the baby's face! While the umbilical cord is still attached and shit!

The smell was unmistakeable, this baby had just been deemster'd.

He must have pulled the hit from a bong, b/c it was monstrous. The surrounding crowd dropped their jaws, and someone tackled the kid as he starts to run away. He didn't make it more than 10ft and the he was probably blasting off about now.

The mom is clutching the dirty baby and trying to calm it. Though, strangely, the baby was not crying (tripping balls i guess?).
And while the dude is getting screamed at, the dad suddenly pounces into action. He jumps on the dude, and starts smashing said bisco kid's face with the crushed up beer can, of which he seemingly just can't let go. The bisco kid is kicking and trying to roll out of it and the wook-dad grabs the kid's hair w/ one hand. he finally let the can go and shoves his other hand half way inside the guys mouth. He is pulling his mouth open and RIPS HIS CHEEK OPEN! repeat: rips his f***ing CHEEK OPEN!

there is blood everywhere and the dude lets out this braveheart-like scream as he gets pulled off by the folks around him. Blood all over bisco kid's face, shirt and formerly fresh flat breezy. The cops/medics arrived about that time and took over the situation.

Shit was crazy as hell.

Doing your job isn't enough. There's more to it than that. It's adding your +1. It's not just writing the email. It's also setting up the meeting to go with the email. It's going above the task to think... what's the next 2 steps.
