i know i get it - it’s the fact that a $120 million no-strings-attached handout to a billionaire is happening while simultaneously we also *don’t* have money for the public school system. Why can’t the city negotiate a deal with Dundon that invests in the PPS system, for example?

We all will need to reach out to our electeds. This school closure announcement and rapid decision making timeline caught many by surprise. I accompanied my middle schooler to the rally outside the PPS board meeting earlier tonight - great turnout and high energy!

My kids’ school (Sellwood Middle) is among FOURTEEN public schools to be closed. We can’t keep schools open, so why is the city handing out $120 million of our taxes to the billionaire owner of the Blazers to make a stadium fancier? @councilorgreen.bsky.social www.koin.com/news/portlan...

The city claims that any potential release of asbestos would be mitigated by controlling the timing and location of the charges. Wouldn’t the water tower and all the parts of the building destroyed during the explosion and collapse have to be somehow free of asbestos for that to be true?

www.koin.com/news/portlan... “City officials claim a controlled demolition will help mitigate the risk of asbestos particles.” The city chose the timing and specific location of the charges but that alone does not mitigate the effects of the explosion and the plume of contaminants that is ejected.

bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.
A graph showing how the edsel and Cybertruck both performed based on their sales target and actual year one and year two sales. The edsel was expected to sell 200k units in its first year. It sold slightly over 50k, and less than 50k the next year

The Cybertruck had a sales.target of 250k in its first year. They sold around 40k, the next year they sold about half as many.

“It feels like we’re making a pretty big investment by staying here” The unfiltered arrogance. That we should just be grateful he has chosen to remain in our presence. And that alone entitles him to a handout of hundreds of millions of taxpayer $. You don’t get paid for just showing up, Dundon.

This is, to put it mildly, a double standard. This guy was part of a government that encouraged online social media figures to engage in routine harassment of government employees to the point that many were fired or went into hiding. Some of it was done by Elon Musk, this guy's boss.
To give a sense of scale, 33 million people saw Musk’s post. Ashley Thomas has since made her social media accounts private after the wave of online harassment from Musk’s followers. She is one of an increasing number of public officials who are learning that bullying and intimidation is part of the game plan for how the right governs now. She might reasonably infer that she will be fired from her job for no reason other than the fact that one of Trump’s courtiers wants to show that he can follow through on his threats.
