Thanks for sharing, that was a really informative video

I think most of these people are just unhappy with their lives and blame others for it

They need to toll the people living in Vancouver who enter Oregon to shop tax free and don’t pay any kind of tax for the roads they use, unless they happen to fill up their gas tanks here.

I’ll just pay a higher flat rate rather than be tracked everywhere I go, thanks.

Also…

What causes the majority of damage to Oregon’s roads?

Weight, weather, and traction devices cause the majority of road damage.

Why not charge drivers by vehicle weight instead?

Weighing passenger vehicles is impractical.​​ Passenger vehicles like cars, pick-up trucks and vans weigh much less (under 10,000 pounds) and produce less wear and tear on the roads than freight. ​

Oregon ensures that freight vehicles (26,000 pounds or more) pay their fair share for this extra burden through the weight-mile tax, where vehicles are taxed on their weight and the miles they travel in Oregon.

26,000 pounds is an insane limit. A Ford truck is at least double the vehicle weight of my car, and sometime up to four times heavier. Not only is it causing 2-4x the wear and tear on the road, I’d be taxed the same.

Weight class and mileage for the model should be used to determine an individualized per-mile tax at the time of registration, with either a flat rate option or a registration renewal odometer option available if you don’t want to be tracked.

Legislation should encourage decisions that are better for the environment, but this puts EVs and giant trucks on the same footing.

I can’t get over just how bizarre it is that Republicans are constantly white knighting for Israel.

The Madison County Sheriff’s Office and the Madison Police Office were both present on the scene.

Maybe he means momentum straight into the bin. This won’t be on the ballot, and even if it somehow makes it, it will still fail. What a waste of time.

Time to make that sweet, sweet board of directors or political advisor money. From easy paycheck to even easier paycheck.

If people paid attention this would be a scandal. Regarding Fred Meyer, the city could buy and run a grocery store for decades with that much money.

It’s just the dregs of society

These sad, empty malls should just be torn down and trees should be planted.

Tarrifs, de minimis suspension, inevitable state tax increases… Trump keeps finding ways to cost me money.

ICE has other federal detention centers, so spread out to one of those or deported.

Congrats to her on her victory!

Drey announced a campaign focused on accessible childcare, funding public education, protecting bodily autonomy, and supporting economic equality.

My condolences to 38% of the population.

As a side note, future generations will look back and be like… how did you knowingly vote for someone so clearly evil that his official portrait looks like this

It’s like voting for Lex Luthor. Which, yes, he also became president… and was somehow a better president than Trump.

Embarrassing. They keep making this so much harder than it needs to be.

I did :-)

The chorus from the Busta Rhymes song above is also AAAA x2 with the same rhythm

OK but seriously is this is in the style of Busta Rhymes

That chorus

This guy is just another politician who ran as a progressive and then took off the mask once in office. Besides his pro-genocide profiteering, he’s basically another right-wing neoliberal who supports crypto bros and ICE kidnapping, made nice with Elon Musk post DOGE, and takes any opportunity he can to blame progressives for Donald Trump.

How about bombing hospitals in order to kill journalists, then bombing them again after rescue workers arrive? Israel has done that repeatedly. They’ve killed 200 journalists, not to mention intentionally killing doctors, nurses, and wounded.

How about binding, torturing, and executing rescue workers who arrived in clearly marked ambulances, fire trucks, and a UN vehicle and then dumping all their corpses in a mass grave along with the crushed vehicles?

When you search on Wikipedia for “Rafah massacre,” it’s not sure which one of five Palestinian massacres you’re talking about.
