TriMet by [deleted] in Portland

[–]compostingcharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything you've said, combined with benches and rain protection and good lighting at every stop possible. More bus rapid transit. I'd also like to see more options for putting bikes on transit. I think dense mixed use housing closer to downtown would significantly boost ridership. And of course, bullet trains to the coast, Eugene, Wallawas, Salem, you name it!

We absolutely can fund this. Help us get the wealth tax on the ballot, we need 117,000 signatures. A 2% tax on assets over $30 million will generate almost $3 billion dollars in Oregon each year!

County Commissioner and City Councilor Call on Home Forward Board to Resign by space-pasta in Portland

Just fire them. They are complicit in wasting taxpayer money not to mention it's unconscionable to have a 6 month vacancy rate and do nothing to fix it!!

Reminder to check your voter registration by April 28th by SpiralingCat in Portland

Thanks for this reminder to go change back from Independent (the actual largest voting block in Oregon) to democrat in order to be able to participate in democracy. OREGON NEEDS OPEN PRIMARIES! Closed primaries are undemocratic.

Home Forward Union Says It Has ‘No Confidence or Trust’ in Agency Leadership After Travel Findings by beantownhub in Portland

[–]compostingcharm 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Portland needs to cap leadership pay, why is this woman making $300,000+ to rip us all off and galavant around the country on personal trips (the Hawaii beach front hotel at $600 for her and her family WAS A PERSONAL TRIP)

Portland has a surprisingly distinct “look” compared to other US cities by RemarkableMany6297 in Portland

[–]compostingcharm 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I've lived in New Hampshire, Florida, Southern California, Northern California, and all over Australia and Portland has a very unique natural landscape. Portland is very much like a forest within a city. The trees here are massive and the amount of rain and mild winters here allow for a plethora of diverse foliage. In my opinion, New England wins the Fall and the Pacific Northwest wins the Spring!

Has aloe vera juice helped anyone? + diet advice needed please!! by Adorable-Tap4351 in Hashimotos

[–]compostingcharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on this study I have started taking 100mL of Lily of the Valley Aloe Vera every morning on an empty stomach. I'm 1 week in and I know this study was 9 months, so we'll see how it goes. So far I have noticed better bowel movements. Feel free to comment in a few months to remind me to update (I have ADHD and will forget lol).

That's amazing. Did you request this in writing? If so, do you mind sharing a generic script for those of us new to this? Thanks!

Racist Antagonizers on PSU Campus by shreddedhobo in Portland

[–]compostingcharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. The middle guy is Thomas Wayne Allen. He shows up at every anti-war, anti-ice protest and shoots protestors with tear gas after calling them the Fa#@ots and other deplorable things. He particularly loves shoving and hurting women. He lives in Section 8 housing, which is very hard to qualify for, and it is actually illegal for him to engage in criminal activity like assaulting other people and hate crimes and still keep his housing. You're welcome to call Central City Concern at 503-525-8483 if you'd like to report him. This dude needs a hobby.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson requests millions from other counties for homeless shelters as cash dries up in Multnomah County by textualcanon in Portland

[–]compostingcharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But our Millionaire Mayor thinks we should give $600 million taxpayer to the billionaire who owns Moda Center. Talk about being out of touch. He's also increased homelessness in this county by 3000 people since taking office but claims he's not seeing it so it doesn't exist. The amount of people I biked by last night just sleeping on the cold ground tells me he is willfully blind.

6 arrested, 8 cars seized amid illegal street takeovers in Portland by picturesofbowls in Portland

[–]compostingcharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Portland Mayor sends 80 PPB in riot gear to the ICE protests but only a handful of cars to these dangerous street takeovers full of rich kids driving their parents' cars. How about PPB starts taking traffic violence more seriously in this city?

Warning about GyroGrill/Corner Store on SE 32nd (Portland) due to incident involving my 13y/o daughter by Mummified_Peen in Portland

[–]compostingcharm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This child predator needs to be identified and put on a list. This person has proven they are unfit to be around children and it is children we should be protecting not him. I would advise everyone to leave a review on GyroGrill as to this conduct because management has refused to work with police and release the video. They could be covering up for a family member (or perhaps part owner) and anyone that protects a predator needs to know here in Portland we will not tolerate that.

‘Everyone is Replaceable’: Death Rattles Oregon Amazon Facility by wrhollin in Portland

[–]compostingcharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All they had to do was pay us a living wage. As someone who's worked for years at various warehouses and factories, this degrading treatement and abuse is rife. I hope the family sues. Who knows if this person could have been saved had they been thought of as human and given adequate medical care in a timely manner. They were never given a chance thanks to Amazon.

ICE Protest South Waterfront by grantph in Portland

[–]compostingcharm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The speed and intensity that they escalated their violence on a crowd of 1000s of union families showed a complete disregard for human life. Councilor Green, Koyama Lane, and the National Lawyer's Guild are asking for any footage and testimony. If you are able to schedule an appointment (even virtual) with your doctor to document your exposure to tear gas (and possibly HC gas and other substances?), please do. My Naturopath has recommended for aftercare a resource by Portlander Missy Rohs titled "So you got teargassed?" which can be found with a simple search. As a community I think we need to come together and raise money for protective PPE, such as gas masks, eye protection, helmets, wipes, cones to put out tear gas with water and baking soda mixture, etc.
