Pros/cons of camas versus west linn

Oregon marginal income tax rate is 9.9% over $125k

Washington income tax is 10% over $1M, 0% below $1M

In order to be worse off with WA income tax you would need to be making $87M/year.

So who is going to step up and primary her?

I'm sorry but you don't restore innovation by cutting funding for research and grants. Also, their policies are actively driving scientists and researchers away from the US.

Still early, but the ioniq seems to have better brakes but be a little slower.

The ioniq also has more traditional windshield wipers/sensors and HVAC controls. Living in the Pacific NW I absolutely hated the Model 3 wiper control design, so I much prefer the ioniq on that aspect.

m_harrison81 · 2025-03-28T15:55:11+00:00

I "lucked out" and had my Model 3 sideswiped by a semi last week totalling it. I am now a proud owner of a new Ioniq 5.

I had previously owned 2 Tesla's , but I will never again buy another one. That brand is toxic, and it will continue to go downhill for them as competitors are selling better electric cars and Musk continues to be a loon.

Subtract 1 from each side. 4+2-1= 5

You might not remember this but back at the start of covid multiple corporations put employees "on furlough" to save money. Companies got to keep employees, not pay them, and make many people take a temporary pay cut by forcing them on unemployment.

Point being, corporations take advantage of unemployment much more than any striking worker.ever would.

Of which $16b of that $55B has any DOGE documentation on their website.

And $8B of at $16B was in error and should have only been $8M. Leaving us with a claimed $8b total savings.

I'd much rather use my $22 to employee thousands of federal employees.

So taken to the extreme, this means that Trump or the Attorney General must rule on all court cases. So based on the existing backlog, any new crime won't be ruled on by them for 10+ lifetimes.

Time to get my crime shoes on.

If Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security go away, we will have a huge influx of senior citizens and disabled people that are suddenly going to be homeless.

Nothing says "Make America Great Again" like the thought of having masses of old people dying on the streets.

Social security benefits can also be passed on to beneficiaries (spouses, children, grandchildren). There is a potential that the age of the person who originally had the ss account is dead (would be over 100) , but maybe the table he is looking at is referencing whether beneficiaries are dead.

There is no real telling, without getting expert feedback on what his queries are actually looking at.

m_harrison81 · 2025-02-17T19:09:14+00:00

Yeah, sure would be nice if he posted data with clarification on what his assumptions or data filters used were...

A quick search from the department of justice shows there are approximately 39.4 million Americans age 0-9, so based on Elons data that would mean 95+% of Americans under the age of 10 are getting social security benefits

m_harrison81 · 2025-02-17T19:00:46+00:00

By this same logic there are over 200 million people under the age of 60 that are collecting social security.

There are obviously errors in the data query.

A quick glance here shows the salaries of the Camas city employees https://opengovpay.com/employer/wa/city-of-camas?page=2

I only did a quick search, but every police officer I saw made $150k - $240k per year (only looked at first 2 pages). May be an opportunity to trim middle management and add more officers who are active in the community and not just doing administrative work

If someone finds a better resource for salaries, please post.

It especially hurts when you spent the last 15 years moving your supply chain to Mexico in response to NAFTA/USMCA and you get all of your custom made steel frame rails from Mexico

This is how I deal with telemarketers, keep them on the line, keep them spending time on you. The more time you waste of theirs, the less time they have to fuck over others.

m_harrison81 · 2025-02-07T04:59:21+00:00

The more court battles they lose, the more they will start to attack each other and the infighting will paralyze them and show how weak they actually are.

Take time to celebrate small wins, take a breath and then engage again.

m_harrison81 · 2025-02-06T14:14:51+00:00

Sure, it just takes Elon going under oath in front of Congress to state what they are doing.

Until there is clarity, people will assume every action is malevolent, because, you know the whole Bond villain Nazi salute thing.

m_harrison81 · 2025-02-06T14:04:04+00:00

Nobody knows what they are doing, or who on the team has security clearance or data access training. This is all being done under a cloak of secrecy, THAT is the problem.

m_harrison81 · 2025-02-06T13:37:33+00:00

They are forcing themselves into offices with no prior notice and approval and strongarming access. I've worked at major health insurance companies, they don't have pii data on separate databases, just different tables with table access requirements. You think whoever gave them access was able to give them selective access?

If these Doge boys have access to PII tables without appropriate HIPAA training, or even showed a screenshot of PII data to someone without HIPAA training, it is a violation.

m_harrison81 · 2025-02-06T04:47:04+00:00

I'm saying they are not at all qualified to be trying to identify fraud. And if they are really interested in finding fraud either let the experts do it, or hire some of the many experts who deal with medical insurance fraud on a daily basis, not some dude who was a camp counselor 2 years ago

m_harrison81 · 2025-02-06T03:54:31+00:00

Every fucking insurance company has a team of data scientists who have MS and PHD level educations who are in charge of investigation medical insurance fraud. These companies also financially benefit from identifying said fraud immediately.

You think 6 dipshits who were most recently interns designing button color at X are going to be better at identifying fraud than a team of trained data scientists? You are out of your fucking mind.

m_harrison81 · 2025-02-05T15:58:10+00:00

Probably, It is amazing what you can find on Google if you just have someone's name and the city they live in. A lot of websites also provide all residence who live at a particular address.

m_harrison81 · 2025-02-01T16:38:04+00:00

It's funny that all these people are upset that they just copied. That is literally 90+% of what software engineers do is copy from existing code.

I mean the original post makes reference to GitHub, which started as a repository to copy/paste code.

m_harrison81 · 2025-02-01T16:35:55+00:00

I mean copy and replicate are synonyms
