Oregon has given 400 million in tax breaks to data centers and is proposing 600 million to go to a Billionaire to create luxury updates to Moda that will price out working class people from seeing the Blazers and any other event there. We are facing a 400+million dollar cut to OHP Medicaid, even as tens of thousands of people are already losing coverage due to new federal government guidelines. Our Governor who is a big Data Center supporter defending them as economic opportunities even though they only bring temporary jobs, leach and pollute water, use an unimaginable amount of electricity and for the most part are only proving people with slop, stolen art and the ability to distort reality and brainwash the masses. We’ve yet to see these medical advances and solving of complex issues with AI. It’s mostly been people fucking around or our government contracting with companies to monitor, control and replace workers. Who the fuck is fighting for working people in Oregon? We are being sold out at every level of government! The moderate right on city council in portland are ready to take climate funds and Police accountability oversight funds to give to PPB for more cops even as we see rising call times after more police were hired. Can we get some fucking accountability!? While we are on that topic, there seems to be no oversight of government contracts as we see multiple place under investigation for misusing funds and I am sure there are other nonprofits that will be investigated to find improper spending and money laundering because there are loose guideline of how to spend this money. As homelessness non profits close their doors, the people suffer. As disabilities non profits close their doors people suffer. As we lose hope in the systems that provide essential services and social safety nets, we all suffer! How about we elect leaders that actually give a shit about us and this beautiful state!—Anonymous
