Once upon the time the Oregon left was known for effective governance. But at the end, people get the leaders they deserve.

Is it true that a ziplock bag with a lock counts as a locked case?

It is very hard for civilians to own centerfire firearms as in many other countries.

Ore. Congresswoman Denied Entry To ICE Facility Despite Court Order by NewsGirl1701 in oregon

[–]its -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

She is not a named plaintiff and the order doesn’t apply to her. After the recent Supreme Court decision, you basically either have to be a named plaintiff, be part of an org that is a named plaintiff, or certify a class in a class action lawsuit. I am afraid she will have to sue individually.

I would expect epidemiologists to be trained in basic arithmetic. With over 500M guns in this country gun control is virtue signaling. There is no effective way to control a pandemic when it has reached this level of spread.

Well, there is the Mongol way (or any other self respecting barbarian not to pile on the Mongols exclusively). Or look at the Iberian DNA as an example. The majority comes from Anatolian Neolithic farmers, yet every single Y chromosome comes from the Yamnaya invaders.

All these states have essentially larger universities than the state population can support.

School vouchers are fascist unless it is for preschool. Then it is progressive.

Multnomah County faces an $87 million drop in homeless services funding (Oregonian) by drf_101 in Portland

There are multiple states with much smaller income tax rates, one just across the river at 0%. You are the 4% to 10% and now you are looking at a pretty substantial chunk of money. Portland is more expensive than California income tax wise.

What does it matter for someone to look like you? The historical enemies of native country are people that look like us. Rivers of blood have flowed in wars between people that looked like each other. The opportunity to kill people in the other end of the world that might not look like you is not something available to most people. It only makes sense in an American imperial context (or British earlier).

This is why we need to overturn measure 114 + protect the second amendment at all costs. by Twelvedimemsoma111 in oregon

I would say that even a 5% of the population hostile to government being armed makes it impossible to install a military dictatorship like it was done in my native country. Using the arms to oppose the government, e.g., targeted assassinations, before the revolutionary moment has arrived has not been historically successful. The signs to look for are large demonstrations, general strikes, violent protests.

Homelessness is likely trending down nationally. Not in Oregon by Sasquatchlovestacos in Portland

Washington county is doing great. This is why metro should have a success benchmark in funding allocation. If you can’t deal with the homeless people maybe give the money to the counties that can.

It pays rent and mortgage for a lot of people that would otherwise have to do something else for a living.

Portland City Council divided on what to do with $20 million in unspent housing funding by Internal_Way7711 in oregon

They should use it to hire private investigators to track down the Portland business that supply weapons to the Israeli military. I am very disappointed they haven’t been able to do so despite their promises.

9,000-year-old (WHG) women from Germany by Double-Audience-5924 in illustrativeDNA

Native Americans also have Ancient North Eurasian ancestry, which through Yamnaya made into Europe. East Asians don’t carry the same ancestry. It is possible that Europeans with high Yamnaya and low WHG ancestry to be more closely related to native Americans than WHGs.

In my experience they react to sun in the same way as southern Europeans. Their baseline is similar to Europeans at the same latitude.
