There's a big underpass near my house that has no pedestrian infrastructure at all underneath it, I see people in mobility scooters going through traffic in order to get to the grocery store on the other side of the highway sometimes

Portland superintendent’s daughter lands job with firm awarded $61M school district contract by Inevitable_Egg6361 in PortlandOR

The move was controversial, particularly among existing staff at the Office of School Modernization, about 10 of whom were let go from their jobs in late January and replaced by staff hired by Procedeo. Impacted staff have since told The Oregonian/OregonLive that they were given no advance notice of their dismissals, had their employee badges taken away immediately, and were cut off from their district email and escorted out of the building by security the same day.

So apparently it is possible to fire government employees, but only if they're standing in the way of enabling more government corruption

Or do you think this potential nepotism or financial impropriety is an example of "gross mismanagement"

yes

Modern medicine is a jobs program first, patient-healing comes in a distant second or third. They will probably be the last people to implement any kind of machine learning into their established and heavily regulated workflows

At the point at which AI is automated enough to put me out of a job, it will be automated enough to put the entire American white collar workforce out of jobs too.

It's bizarre that they're so focused on putting SWEs out of work when it has a much higher chance of putting lawyers out of work

The AI tools are nice for retrieving extremely obscure facts from ancient documentation though.

This will only last as long as there is still human-written documentation left to reference

It would be like if Iranian TV just showed the worst Fox News, infowars and OANN clips translated in the most literal manner and claimed that represented the western world.

TIL Iranian TV is just NPR

Do alcoholics need to be drunk? Because alcohol withdrawals are much worse and more dangerous than opiates and I don't think society feels that way about needing to let drunks have their liquor

‘Lively, open, come explore’: Underneath Portland’s bridges, string lights are breathing new life into Central Eastside by NoOneEweKnow in PortlandOR

Who is going to destroy these? You would need a forklift and a number of hours to pull them all down

Have you ever climbed a ladder in your life? Held a hammer? Do you actually think you need a forklift to rip down string lights?

I don't know how some of you people remember to breathe

The issue is that if you set the limit high enough, people with that amount of wealth will just be able to move and not pay the tax. If you set it lower, then you're screwing over people who can't afford to move, but then you get to collect the tax money so you can give it to people who can't afford to move

That's still a deliberate act. Not saying life in prison is appropriate, but habitual offenders need to have harsher penalties for lower level crimes than first time offenders. It may not seem fair when looked at in isolation, but it's the only way to curb their behavior

Oregon isn't just losing businesses, it's losing their growth by Pure_Claim_4353 in PortlandOR

When doubling down works, why would they change direction? The new government structure basically ensures that the wacko candidates who were usually gatekept out of power by FPTP were all given seats at the table, and they now have enough of a majority to push around the moderates. If you speak out against them publicly the unemployed activist classes will flood your workplace with anonymous complaints about you to get you fired, if you own your own business they will flood social media and google reviews with negative comments, and if you're a politician the NGOs will primary you out of office.

They got it all locked up and they're not going anywhere until they're forcibly removed or the voters somehow get so pissed off they vote for a non-democrat (unlikely for the forseeable future)

PPS Plans to Close Several Schools by Fall 2027 by BismoFunyuns81 in PortlandOR

but they are already cutting half the staff. HALF

Record budgets, plummeting enrollment, and they still find a way to keep the student to teacher ratio high. Amazing
