A reader comes to us with a little back-of-the-envelope math: “Portland Public Schools’ annual budget is $2.17 billion—about $49,000 per student. Couldn’t we put the kids into pods of 10 students and give the parents $490,000 a year to allocate?” wweek.com/news/dr-know/2024/…

Interesting findings by @MetroAuditor on Metro regional government's use of $475M parks + nature bond.
Lack of clear goals + little spending to increase equitable public access to nature, including for residents w/disabilities and BIPOC residents: oregonmetro.gov/sites/defaul…

Oregon: *consistently bad in education*
Voters: “Something needs to change!”
Politicians: *Do more of the same*
People who just moved here: “Obviously, we need to keep Democrats in power because I don’t like anyone else”
Oregon’s problems: *gets worse* – at Salem, OR

"Amazon treats me w/far more respect and appreciation than I’ve ever received from the US government. Democratic government, Republican government, divided government; Amazon outshines them all. If the feds ever go after Amazon, I know what side I’m on." econlib.org/an-ode-to-amazon…

I’ve heard a lot of people talk about saving money for retirement and education as a “privilege.”
If you honestly believe that, you’re enslaved to Keynesian economic theory. Keynes was the one who despised savings, and the government uses his theories. Let that sink in...

“Investors don’t really earn money. They just make clicks.”
Oh yeah? Come back after you’ve learned how to forecast, read financial statements, skimmed hours worth of news headlines in minutes, and risked nearly a fortune to make a couple bucks just to have a chunk taken away.

I’ve heard this was from inside a facial recognition tower in Hong Kong. If this is true, I’d like to call on @Cisco to pull out of their contracts with the Chinese government.
No American company should be knowingly involved with the stripping away of #liberty.

The #MuellerReport did not exonerate @realDonaldTrump, but his testimony at the #MuellerHearing was clear: There was not enough evidence to charge anyone for #RussianCollusion.
I’m sure Dems will go back to yelling about obstruction of justice instead of policy for #2020Election

Did you know that the @OLCC has a strange role typically found in socialist governments?
Read all about it in my latest article on why we should abolish the OLCC.

Why Democrats have so much power in Oregon:
"Democrats in the Legislature often don’t want any serious competition. The easiest way for them to achieve this is to ensure that no Republicans can run against their highest profile races.”

At this point, everyone on the right needs to seriously reconsider their relationship with @RealCandaceO if they hope to maintain a shred of credibility - looking at you, @prageru and @RubinReport. It's long past time to #CancelCandaceOwens – at Arlington, VA
