the software industry has not solved "cleanly copying and pasting text in a table from one program to another" after 40 years of productivity design and optimization. just thinking of other things that took more time and effort than cracking an atom in two

Adjacent to their salaries is also the administrative work of all those cops filing essentially the same report. Then the massive gigs of bodycam footage. That all become hours of further tax payer money, twice, if there are charges pressed, both DAs and Public Defenders have to spend time on that.

One HOUR of cops standing around having a chit chat party would pay the rent for several apartments for unhoused folks for a MONTH

At the time I went by, I didn't see anything occurring (whatever happened had already happened) so I'm going to follow up. We saw PPB data at a recent Council meeting showing that more officers respond to each call now than in the past - this is an efficiency AND public safety concern I share.

Why are SIXTEEN COPS who make $70 an hour,minimum, required to arrest 1 homeless man in a sweatshirt with a couple plastic bags. There are still 8 of them just milling around out there, doing nothing. Leaning against cars, drinking coffee, blocking traffic. This is my tax money, wasted.

I wish normal people could get paid $70/hr to just stand around blocking traffic for literally no reason at all @councilorgreen.bsky.social @councilormorillo.bsky.social @councilorkanal.bsky.social @councilorclark.bsky.social

5 cops stand in the middle of a street, several cars have had to turn around

With everything that's been going on the last few weeks, I wanted to provide an update about where things stand with me.
I have made the difficult decision to part ways with Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour in solidarity with Macklemore and the fight for Palestinian liberation. None of us are free until all of us are free.

From Portland's Fair Share Tax overview page: Mega Corporations can cut their taxes by 80% with this ONE WEIRD TRICK www.portland.gov/council/dist...

A Tale of Two Business: How This Ordinance Works
A neighborhood bakery with $300,000 in sales pays $0.
A Mega Corporation with $100 million in Portland sales, 7% margin, CEO paid 1,800 times the median worker pays about $1.1 million.
Note: "Mega Corporation" can cut its city tax bill by more than 80% simply by raising worker pay or bringing CEO pay back toward norms in the 1970s (roughly 30 to 1 ratio).

Anyway, the most immediate use of this finding is that we FINALLY have a way to grow new motor neurons, which opens up huge potential pathways for research on and maybe the treatment of Lou Ghereg's and Parkinsons Diseases in the future.

So this is a thing I talk about a lot when I write about alt text and how to do it. Alt text is meant to be contextual. That is, not that it gives you the context for the image but that it changes depending on where you're posting the image and why. The official guidance for it is:

I think I’ve posted this before, but I have a weird existential reaction whenever this is mentioned. I become genuinely angry and sad that a mini Star Trek theme park existed but at a time where I couldn’t go to it. Like. People got to sit in Quark’s ffs. And walk around the TNG bridge. Ffs.

I know it’s just random chance that put these two posts by @jamellebouie.net one after the other and that they’re from different threads, but it was amusing to read this and think that Jamelle’s son was intoxicated with the idea that he could inflict death after reading a book about the Vietnam War

jamelle • @jamellebouie.net
my kids went to the library this morning and my son brought home a book for kids titled "what was the vietnam war" so i expect to be answering a lot of questions about american foreign policy in the 1960s soon

An outstanding comment to the mayor! "Is it safe to call the police ... if I have a Mitch Green sign..." is the perfect example of exactly WHY this is a violation of HRAH-406 Bob Day's comments explicitly and openly prejudice his employees against supporters of a candidate for a political office

Seemed like a short survey, but then I started writing...

My comments on the first set of questions:

Getting people out of cars and onto buses and bikes will do more to improve safety and reduce costs than any other possible measure. How do we reduce maintenance costs? Reduce the cause of those costs: cars. Any steps that don't work to reduce the number of cars on the road will ultimately increase current and future costs.

Removing cars from the road is a win for everyone, even people who choose to, or must, drive. Fewer cars on the road means less congestion, more reliable transit (inducing demand for transit), and is safer for pedestrians and bicyclists (inducing demand for those modes as well).

You know, as we all know, that adding more lanes doesn't solve congestion and it doesnt make things cheaper. It costs more to build, more to maintain, and induces demand that strains all other roads in a city The responsible thing is to support non-auto based transportation modes. Do the responsible thing.

My comments on the second set of questions:

Driving sucks. Driving is individually *expensive*, S1000/mo on average according to AAA. We have a lot of key assets along I-5 we need to preserve for the sake of interstate trade, but the majority of money should go toward supporting infrastructure that reduces the miles people need to drive, possibly down to zero for many people. That would mean the $1,000/mo could be spent on literally anything else, food, rent, child care, a cool new bike, savings, a second even cooler new bike. Things that directly benefit local communities, not auto manufacturers, banks, and oil conglomerates.

My comments on the third set of questions:

The "Traffic congestion" impact is misleading. Removing alternative modes of transportation (buses, bikes, and walking) is what will cause increased congestion. Forcing people to choose to drive means more cars on the road which means more congestion.

Removing those things are also what will decrease safety. It's also what will increase repair costs.

My final comments on the survey:

"Transportation" is a term that all to often ends up just meaning "cars." To be sure, cars make up a large portion of how people transit from pointA to point B; however, a transportation system that doesn't provide an equal amount of support for non-car centric transportation options can't use "everyone drives" as a justification for prioritizing cars above all else.

I would be more sympathetic to state and agency leaders tasked with balancing priorities if there wasn't mountains of research, real-world examples both domestic and abroad, and historical data backing up the reality that cars are not inevitable or even to many people *preferable*. I love riding my bike. I hate that I'm treated like a second-class citizen, forced to work around cars instead of cars working around me.

What would make me confident the state is spending the transportation budget wellQ Being able to get to destinations outside my city without having to drive; Seeing projects that benefit all modalities, not just cars; Leaders who lead and make decisions that are backed by science, not driven by businesses that make demands that will make their own lives worse.

(But also I would look into it and then email my boss back how much time I spent looking into it, which was completely wasted, because I knew it was a waste before it even did it, and needed that expertise listened to in the future instead of doubted. I actually did this more than once.)
