At a minimum, we should make it illegal for landlords to block tenants from having AC installed.

If we aren't going to require it, at least force them to allow it. Too many rentals have a "no window units" clause, that needs to go.

We recently upgraded our house to central air, something went wrong this week and while it was 96° outside it was 89° inside.

I had to go sit in the car AC at 1 AM because the heat was making me sick. AC should be perma-fixed tomorrow.

Even with all those incentive dollars, tax breaks, and innumerable concessions this will always be what happens. Governments are captured by corporate money, power and influence and then governments give away the people's wealth and corporations take.

$200 tickets... Woof!

"The 42-story building sold to Jeff Swickard, the CEO and founder of the Swickard Auto Group. Our news partners at Willamette Week report that the sale was for about $45 million in an all-cash deal.

The Unico/US Bancorp Tower building last sold for a little more than $370 million in 2015 and was expected to sell for a fraction of that price."

So, first, can't say I've heard of Swickard before... second... 45/370 = 12.16% of the previous sale price. Whoof!

Oh jeeze, this guy lives in Seattle. We have to see him all the time. Sometimes he watches porn in the public library...

The portland police airplane is continuously circling the ICE building in south waterfront next to the Tesla dealership in big wide circles counter clockwise. I suppose the circles over downtown and northeast portland post BLM are no longer a priority… Also it would be nice if there was an ordnance to keep them from making so much noise over and over again after midnight. Also that is a lot of fuel we are paying for. How much does it cost to keep an airplane flying 24/7 vs dispatching a helicopter when it is actually necessary?

They have the technology to see body heat. God speed, be safe.

Go out and help support the protests any way you can
