Ahh Oregon

[Beendare]

Sadly, the universities in all states just keep cranking out these idiots.

Oregon is California for people that don't like good weather and don't know how to pump their own fuel.

That state is hopeless. I had to live there a few years for work. Got to hunt and bag, perhaps the state’s best offering. a CA bighorn sheep. Glad when I got transferred out of there. Can you believe the 3 biggest counties make you pay a “Homeless Tax”? Wonder if it pays to help trade wolves to their libtard trading partner, Colorado.

Haven't they been trying to push this thing through for quite some time now? Seems I remember hearing about this before

Yep, several times. The bill is so wildly broad that it got some seriously funded pushback from every angle, since it would impact ranching, dairies, medical research... but on the other hand, that just means more time and money wasted.

Getting signatures for these things is a joke, I've run into canvassers for a few iterations of this bill and it's something bland like "do you support strengthening animal welfare protections?". It's real easy to get signatures for that, even though I would wager the VAST majority of signatures would not support the bill if it was explained to them for even 20 seconds.

Per the article, OHA is also supporting ballot initiative reform measures to bring us in line with other states.

They're not worthy of resident tags.

No telling what they use that homeless tax for. I was visiting relatives over the holidays, and homeless encampments are still polluting the Federal Highway right of way property.

To give more stuff to homeless.

So the government can buy them drugs and needles.

Nothing surprises me anymore in this state.

Look no further than your entire school system and who is teaching those kids. The same teachers and professors that preach animal rights and "Guns are bad" push Socialism and Gender nonsense. This craziness goes hand in hand.

Then, just look at your Governor...you Oregonians voted this stuff in.

I haven't lived in Oregon for almost 10 years, and I was just making a joke. However, Oregon never had self serve fueling stations until a couple years ago.

Technically you’re incorrect.
What the “law” said was you were supposed to be “trained”

Glad I left that state when I was 19 and never looked back!!!

I fixed it for you.

When did OR and WA get more progressive than California... Its crazy.

Don't really know. We moved here for work in 1998 and it has been a $hithole since then at least.

Painting with quite a broad brush aren’t you? I live in southern Oregon, have kids in the school system and my wife teaches in it. I can tell you this is not happening in our county and many of the counties around us. I can’t speak for all of Oregon because each school district is responsible for choosing its own curriculum as long as it meets basic state requirements. On the rare occasion a teacher tries to get political it is quickly shut down. Unfortunately the rare occurrence it does happen it makes headlines and is picked up by national “news” networks and stated as if the whole state is doing that.

Is Oregon frustrating liberal, without a doubt. But what happens in the headlines doesn’t mean it’s happening throughout the state. Painting with such a broad brush and being influenced my clickbait headlines and awful news sources is what has gotten us into the political quagmire we are in.

 

[Beendare]

Its commendable you defend your wife and a small % of the state, but the Oregon statistics tell a different story, some highlights;

Oregon is ranked 44th to 45th in the nation for K-12 education and has been cited as having one of the worst education systems in the country.

The system has faced enrollment declines post-pandemic and ranks in the bottom ten nationally for overall quality, with low graduation rates and high chronic absenteeism.

Recent data indicates that Oregon elementary and middle school students scored lower in reading and math than in any other state when adjusted for demographics
