bad measure that is driven by a goal not grounded in evidence based policy, and will throw our budgeting process into further disarray while defunding climate investments.

recommendation: strong oppose e

also 1 suggests the binding policy is *funding* staffing at those levels, not funding what is an achievable staffing level.

theres no reason to expect that 2 is calibrated to align with the goals in 1. Also, 1 is not dependent upon realizing revenues from 2. so if this becomes law its possible to just have funds accrue with underspend, or funds fail to accrue and then the GF is hovered up by 1.

this is a bad ballot measure for a variety of reasons, but the language has two potentially competing clauses in it that is important to sus out.

1. set policy to fund at least 2 officers per 1k residents.
2. divert 25% of PCEF to a restricted fund for that purpose and others.

the dems should unveil proposals for a national transit subsidy and trade pact with china for cheap EVs. something.

they’re so bad at this. it’s going to be self defeating, but really the core thing is that this is the moment to go into their opponents districts and hold town halls about how trump is trying to bring back the gas queues of the ‘70s and send their kids to die for oil.

i have not!

i think it’s marx

oof

like i think my most cancellable take is that marx was kind of 19th century abundance bro lol

it’s probably a sraffian case but it’s rooted in Vol 2 of capital imo

good thread and hearty congratulations to everyone who got this done. this specific post reminds me that i am prepared (conditional on time) to make the case that marx (or at least the surplus approach to value and distribution following him) sets up a case for a supply side approach to housing.

hearing reports that there may have been some bamboozlers, hustlers and idiots involved in our beautiful block 216

Lender to Walt Bowen’s Ritz-Carlton Tower Knew Project Was in Trouble Early On, Lawsuit Says The failure of Walt Bowen’s Block 216 office, hotel and condo building in Portland’s West End is reverberating through the real estate industry, court records show.

“we can derive from first principles that there is no greater force of efficiency in the known world than the sheer clairvoyance manifest in private capital, unleashed”

(except this one time)

ah yes, let’s continue to
do more random tariffs while also launching random hot wars that close the straight of hormuz. masterful gambit sir

Having a leftist with a PhD in economics in politics is so nice 😭😂 if y’all in D4 don’t do everything you can to get Mitch re-elected in November what are we even doing?

the only AI i respect is 2001 MVP and philadelphia pacer Alan Iverson

that’s ok, we don’t need need to worry about setting records like this when we continue to dominate in the field of *checks notes* launching hot wars.

anywhere in portland counts towards my small donor counts!
