I like the new one… “3/9th pound burger! And if it’s sold out, we’ll replace it with a 2/6th pound burger at no extra cost!”

The problem wasn’t that they had a 1/3rd pound burger, it’s that they advertised it in direct competition with a 1/4 pound burger at the same price and people were too dumb to know that 1/3 > 1/4 because 4 > 3.

They did re-do the advertising… decades later…

Green means I’m one of the Moderators here. Some apps even put a little “M” next to it.

Portlander here… article is trying to lay the blame on homeless services but completely ignores what else was going on:

FTA:

"By late spring 2021, the city committed to a new strategy that then-Mayor Ted Wheeler said would “reprioritize public health and safety among homeless Portlanders,” ultimately allocating $1.3 billion by the end of 2024.

But although the city spent roughly $200,000 per homeless resident throughout that time, deaths of homeless people recorded in the county quadrupled"

What was REALLY happening was State Ballot Measure 110 took effect in February, 2021, decriminalizing drugs. What then happened was an explosion of open air drug markets and fentanyl overdoses.

https://www.oregon.gov/oha/ph/preventionwellness/substanceuse/opioids/pages/fentanylfacts.aspx

“The number of unintentional overdose deaths related to illicitly manufactured fentanyl nearly quadrupled between 2020 and 2022, increasing from 223 to 843 overdose fatalities. (Data source: CDC SUDORS Dashboard: Fatal Drug Overdose Data). In 2022, illicitly manufactured fentanyl contributed to 65.5% of all overdose deaths in Oregon, making it the most prevalent illicit drug involved in overdose fatalities.1”

https://multco.us/news/multnomah-county-releases-2023-domicile-unknown-report-homeless-deaths

"during calendar year 2023, at least 456 people died without a home of their own.

The number, significantly more than the 315 deaths reported in 2022, is the highest since Multnomah County began its analysis — reflecting what health officials believe is the height of the fentanyl crisis that swept our community in 2023.

Of the 456 deaths, 251 were linked to fentanyl, roughly triple the number reported in 2022 and a clear sign of the synthetic opioid’s deadly impact. Overdose deaths in 2023 overall climbed to 282 people, more than double the 123 deaths reported in 2022."

Measure 110 would finally be repealed in September of 2024.

Time? Sure, but I don’t have the energy or focus.

Looks like they got the head of the Revolutionary Guard too.

No, no it was not. As I’ve already said, Israel’s retaliation started immediately on 10/7 before we approved a single dime of aid, much less sent any. They don’t NEED our help. They’ll USE it, but they don’t NEED it.

It’s super simple, you lay the blame where it belongs, on Bibi and Likud. Leave the old man out of it.

Manner, yes, but I wouldn’t call weak action “atrocious”. He got owned by Bibi, not sure why he allowed that.

But the blame for the genocide is ALL on Bibi and Likud. Our fault is failing to recognize it for what it is.
