Aweful quiet in here

Theres a whole lot going on in Oregon.

A very incomplete list

The recent primary/election
The Diego Hernandez thing
Protests going on in a variety of cities.
Close to home for me, PPD using a lot of chemical weapons and explosives against peaceful protestors.
Local press towing the PPD line when there are numerous live streams to prove their narrative false.
Armed white supremacists roaming the streets and occasionally infiltrating the protests.
Crazy amounts of rumors trying to put the fear into everyone
The Governor agreeing to send in the National Guard to assist in suppressing American Citizens
Reopening going on all over in spite of lots of warning signs that it might not be a great plan.
State government fumbling the UI thing.


Who's got something to say?

Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it... There is a time to speak and there is a time to act...
