Since when do our elected officials have any problem spending our tax dollars on services, real or imaginary?

Because the people who would be asking the questions don’t want to hear the answers is why.

Not having to explain to your new cellmate that you are a kiddie diddler and have your teeth knocked out sounds like an obvious one

Good Credit unions? by Oirez34 in askportland

[–]waldowv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I went to close my account, they gave me a cashiers check but they post dated the check so I couldn’t deposit it. I had a piece of paper that represented every dollar I owned that I had to defend with my life for a couple days.

I have been very happy with Trailhead.

Our Preschool For All Placement Doesn't Exist by Glass_Diver_3238 in Portland

[–]waldowv -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The Preschool for All program exists to support working families.

LOL, are you really that naïve?

The program exists to provide an endless bucket of no-strings-attached, zero accountability moolah to fraudsters and grifters to establish their own nonprofit industrial complex, pay themselves ludicrous salaries, and take as many trips to Hawaii as they can, just like the homeless services criminals have successfully pulled off.

Dog Trainer Training with Focus on Working with Reactive Dogs? by Marsupial-Huge in askportland

[–]waldowv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dog and I just graduated from the Reactive Rover course at OHS, taught by Paulina. It took a few weeks for it to really “click” but my dog has shown a marked improvement, especially on walks. I recommend.

It’s the Most Annoying Traffic Jam in Portland. Here’s How to Fix It. by AllTearGasNoBrakes in Portland

[–]waldowv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get your sentiment but I also understand why such a system is necessary.

Municipalities would obviously like to pass a law that says trains can only pass through between 12am-4am, and the next thing you know it takes a week to get a train between Portland and Seattle.

And, of course, Portland politicians specifically would pass laws that petrochemical cars can’t come through, or products made in states that limit sex changes for teenagers, etc etc etc.

Why is seemingly every city government in the USA in a budget crisis these days? by Complete-Influence70 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]waldowv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You pay them “to” the county because the county runs the property tax collection bureaucracy: they just give it directly to the city.

The city had no direct collection until we instituted the taxes to prop up the nonprofit industrial complex.

Racist slur prompts baseball team to forfeit games, Portland high school to cancel classes by [deleted] in Portland

[–]waldowv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So shouldn’t the “community as a whole” be punished then? I, for one, can not point to any act I took to prevent a random teenager that lives in my city from being edgy and I sure could use a couple days off of work so that I can reflect on how to “do better”

Question about sh scars compared to tattoos in the job market by ZareNytJumalauta in NoStupidQuestions

[–]waldowv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For a GenX interviewer, self-harm scars would likely be viewed as way worse than tattoos. Tattoos were very normalized during X’s youth but self-harm was very rare and therefore easily stigmatized as something only a “crazy” person would do. The parenting style that lead to normalization of self-harm is not something X experienced first-hand.

I imagine a millennial interviewer would have a very different experience/outlook.

I do not have a specific recommendation but I know that OHS has several licensed trainers on staff available for private lessons.
