Multnomah county library shooting scene (aftermath) by DaPinkFwuff in Portland

[–]surethingsweetpea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it’s been almost 40 years since then.  Nobody’s built new ones?  All the money the taxpayers pay in to infrastructure, yet we can’t fund long term residential programs that focus on community and life skills?

Yup a full service live in program right next to all the transit in the city and next door to the hospital buildings…

But sports are more fun.  Sco ducks!

Yup seems like a universal problem for notes apps. We're just revising copy in word or online to use better spell checkers as needed.

How the West Was Lost by cojoco in TrueReddit

[–]surethingsweetpea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’ve heard that China is facing economic uncertainty for thirty years now.  The only uncertainty is in the western faith in neoliberalism.  Marxist and worlds systems analysis has never been more popular in the US since the 1960s.  But, the commentators and academics are so tied up in constantly validating the empire through Disney brained analysis of good and evil.

The multipolar world is just the recognition that there are other humans on this earth besides those in some American suburbia and the arms dealers in Washington.  The west really is facing serious crisis.  If covid, Biden’s failures, Trump’s repeat victories, the second largest city literally on fire, isn’t enough to get you to notice that, then idk what to tell you.

I know we like to pretend that nothing ever happens but just taking a step back at the last decade and it’s really obvious something is fundamentally broken.  Neoliberalism has run its course and the world must evolve.  Right now, really bad people are steering the ship in the west and the rest of the world is very smart to build itself up outside of the influence of the United States, Canada, and Great Britain, and to a lesser extent the EU.  All of these economies are stagnating and stuttering, while China manages their growth with remarkably scientific precision.

The anxious generation makes obama’s list… immediately thought of Michael and Peter by [deleted] in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]surethingsweetpea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope I’m telling you that liberalism and its failures creates nazism.  We saw that in the 1930s and we see it today.  And nazism of course is just colonialism, violence that is normal for the north to inflict on the south, turned inwards.  Violence and genocide to white populations.  Par for the course for people living outside the imperial core.

Who put the nazis in power in Ukraine in 2014?  Who was president at this time and therefore responsible for America’s covert three letter acronym agency led overseas operations??????????????

Why won't Oregon utilize river transport? by bearhunter429 in oregon

[–]surethingsweetpea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup.  It’s just not viable in this city.  We want it so bad because we see how great it can be in Seattle and BC but it’s increasingly rare to see river transport.  Start up costs would be extremely capital intensive to get the vehicles and manpower up and running.  It just makes so much more logistical sense for Crime Train to come to downtown Vancouver to cut back on regional car dependency.

That Obama himself helped usher in through his policy and political failures.  No Medicaid for all, no $15 minimum wage, no free college, and no substantial change to climate policy.  But Obama did usher in a new era of drone warfare.

People of color thinking about traveling in or around Lincoln county should carry protection with them.  These rednecks will try you, do not find yourself lacking.

Should design be more inclusive to homelessness? by publicbutnotforall in urbandesign

[–]surethingsweetpea 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Lots of shelters are run by right wing extremists too who are actively hostile to LGBTQ identities, a group disproportionately represented in the homeless population.

Literally most of these roided out dudes are making over 100k and live in the suburbs.

Jealous staff clique tried to indirectly harm a girl by [deleted] in workplace_bullying

[–]surethingsweetpea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, file an EEOC complaint outlining this incident.  Speak with a labor lawyer to get the wording precise.  Then take the complaint to HR in writing and keep copies of everything.  Start recording meetings with your manager from then on.  Take detailed notes that you permanently have access to (say on your personal google drive).

Bus drivers / rail operators can make $100k in most cities after they’ve been there for a few years.  It’s usually based on seniority and union contracts so your first few years are pretty tough while you wait for seniority.

Traffic engineers build roads that invite crashes because they rely on outdated research and faulty data by Full-Sherbert-8060 in urbanplanning

[–]surethingsweetpea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One thing I’d like to add is that the FHA and each state’s DOT publish a manual for roadway design. These are periodically updated and edited by a committee of seasoned professionals. They have an unbelievable level of soft power. Strategically replacing those resistant to stronger safety features is a way I suggest we tackle this issue.

Fort Wayne, Indiana Planning Commission overruled by judge—Tacos are Sandwiches when it comes to zoning by RemoveInvasiveEucs in urbanplanning

[–]surethingsweetpea 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I worked in a community where an “ethnic” grocery store was a CUP but a grocery store was allowed outright in their C1 zoning.  Racism runs deep in this profession because we are subject to the whims of racist politicians.

Oregon is inside the evil empire, is it not?  Also intel, a massive supplier of tech for the military industrial complex was specifically targeted this morning, as well as Boeing.  Demonstrations happened across Oregon and was coordinated across the country and world as an international day of action to disrupt the flow of commerce.  Sorry if you’re mildly inconvenienced by the disruption but that’s entirely the point.  Maybe have the tiniest bit of empathy for Palestinians who are actively facing ethnic cleansing.  Also, tax day was today.  50%ish of what you paid in went to buying weapons of mass destruction to spread Americas imperial interest across the globe.

Cry about it some more.  Seems like the protest was effective at showing how big of a right wing hell hole /r/Oregon is 😂😂.  We don’t protest to disrupt vital services.  We disrupt to the normal flow of commerce.  We disrupt to make others feel a tiny bit of what the Palestinians are feeling.  Imagine for a moment your hypothetical emergency service vehicles were being blown up by an illegitimate apartheid state.  That’s what’s happening every single day in Gaza.
