"I suspect Portlanders are about to learn some very tough lessons the hard way."

Most liberals I know learn nothing from the results of what they vote for. There's always someone else to blame.

Regarding those now invited back after being fired for refusing the jab, before accepting I'd not only demand backpay or a large salary increase, but also some form of an agreement stating the employer would never take such action again.

Agreed. Look at British Columbia. A majority still think they should keep mask and jab mandates. Even in the absence of a crisis. These liberal dominated areas just accelerate their own demise. For them, tyranny is freedom.

I live in British Columbia. It’s insanity on steroids. Our healthcare system is dysfunctional and chaotic. We are still requiring shots for health care workers and with Bill 36 the govt is doubling down on that by requiring more shots and not just for CoVid. There is no talk of hiring back the badly needed health care professionals and how Bill 36 will actually serve to drive more of them out of this province. That and threats of criminal charges with prison, large fines and confiscation of property if doctors state opinions contrary to what the govt/public health says. You are still required to show a vax pass to go to visit a friend or relative in a care home and most still require testing on top of that pass. Someone I know complained bitterly about the lack of care their relative received at a care home and was told by admin they are severely understaffed as they continue to have “outbreaks” with staff away (despite all the jabs and the testing). Yet my acquaintance was aghast at my suggestion that they do away with the mandatory jab as a requirement to work, stating they would NEVER want their family member to be cared for by someone who was not jabbed! Seriously, you cannot fix stupid. Anecdotally, the care home my own relative is in had a CoVid outbreak 2 wks following the staff and residents getting booster shots. They told us my unjabbed relative had CoVid and wanted to put him on Remdesivir, which we refused. He seems to have recovered, though we can never be sure what treatment he was given as no one was allowed in to see him.

Well I liked your comment but that’s an awful commentary. I wish substack had other options…

I had someone say, just yesterday, that people - especially kids - should be required to be masked when in public if they are coughing or sneezing. I kid you not. This person was all of 22 years old and yes, has had all of her recommended boosters and will do so for as long as they tell her to.

the peeps in BC need to watch 'Incredibles 2.' You know, the animated movie with the "Screen Slaver". Hypnotic devices. Stay off the Devices!

For maybe 30 of the 50+ years I’ve observed/studied the U.S. culture, I held out hope that the natural consequences of leftist/demonic policies would educate them about reality.

At some point, I realized they were in control of the national treasury and the huge, ever expanding national debt was because they were paying the devil to bail them out.

Until they no longer have the ability to take our money, this will continue until Armageddon takes them out.

Who remembers seeing a fantastic paper on this subject; how the evil ones have insulated themselves against natural consequences, written by none other than the little traitorous toad, Bill Barr? I think maybe it was actually the transcript of a speech he gave long ago at a university. Weird.

No, we do not "swear an oath the bar" - British or otherwise.

Anyone who told you this has their head up their ass, or is a QAnon idiot. But I repeat myself.

The upside is most are vaxxed and boostered. Should cull their herd sooner.

Right! My husband asks why would they want to kill the people that believe what they say? I said I don’t know maybe they didn’t think that all the way through!

My theory is that they thought the "dumb" deplorables would be more likely to be susceptible to the psychological ploy and fear mongering than the "educated" elite. Turns out, they miscalculated and were mostly wrong.

i'd say it's a mixed bag. many of the highly indoctrinated/educated have been severely brainwashed. real education in institutions no longer exists.

Liberals learn nothing and only blame someone else for their failed policies. Look at Beetlejuice in Chicago for a good example. They are among the dumbest people on Earth.

same goes for other WOKE cities like NY. My friends there always think it is someone else's fault (usual culprit is Trump), and NOT their woke ideologies.

Exhibit A--California's descent into 3rd World status.

The way we are headed, I expect all of the major cities to look like Mumbai within a decade--poor everywhere, begging.
