The City should buy these huge properties at basically any dollar figure and redevelop into super dense mixed residential/commercial/transit hubs.

But the map still exists, it’s just illegal for insurance companies to … factor in risk based on it. So now we all just have to pretend we don’t know where the obvious risk is even though the work has already been done to map it out. This is both the worst and the dumbest timeline.

Alternatively, in countries with less strict freedoms of speech, restricting “barely legal” porn advertising seems less problematic than your argument makes it out to be. Or setting the age of consent for porn higher than for sexual activity to reduce incentives for mistakes in the wrong direction.

The notion that corporate boards have a fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value was invented in the 1980s. Under traditional law, corporations had a duty to uphold their charters. But the Chicago school decided that was inefficient.

You didn’t donate to ActBlue. You donated to a candidate or organization THROUGH ActBlue. ActBlue is just a service. The candidate or organization you donated to has sold or shared your information with the DNC, a consultant, or another organization.

I mean, it sounds great and all, but several other states have been passing similar legislation for years, right? What am I missing?

is it really even fair to include Seattle in this metric in light of their post-pandemic light rail expansions?

Let me use apple pay to pay $1 to see an article, and I would probably pay more than $5 a month without even noticing.

Amtrak does all of this except the luggage control for the Cascades Line between Eugene, OR and Vancouver, BC. It’s infuriating.

Suspensions are a normal step for larger companies while they put together the paperwork for a formal firing. I’m not holding that against them unless they let him come back to work.

Kudos on a genuinely excellent document and policy, there’s so much data-based common sense. Incredibly frustrating to have it sitting on the table and just never quite putting it into practice.

Is there somewhere I can learn more about the policy your committee developed? Also curious if this increase is at least coincidentally in line with it? Maybe after this increase the council could formally adopt a policy-based formula.

I’ve been eyerolling about this story all morning. Amazon commingles everything with the same sku in their warehouses. They can’t tell you what tariff was paid because they don’t know what day it was imported.

It never really made sense anyway. Amazon’s whole thing is they don’t know where the products in their warehouses come from. They don’t have that information unless they’re directly importing each item for each consumer. That’s what Amazon Haul is. It’s their version of Temu or SHEIN.

Thank you for pointing this out. The city council didn’t have any other legal choice, and PGE didn’t put the barest effort into making it an option. If this was the only choice, they should have gone through another process to change the rules. They have the lawyers and resources to do it right.

Two things can be true at the same time. It was both the best economy in the world and a cost of living shock for a lot of people. Biden’s policies addressed the former and pretended like the latter wasn’t important.
