The choice of capitalism over socialism is obvious. The message of business leaving is the "or else." Vote wisely
Daimler closes truck manufacturing plant in north Portland; Lays off 375 workers.
A truck manufacturing plant in northwest Portland closed for good on Friday, laying off almost 400 workers.
Daimler Truck North America made the announcement in July, saying 375 positions would be eliminated.
In July, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union issued a statement in response:
“Our employer’s decision to leave the Portland area does not remove the heart and soul that our members have put into their work at Daimler. And the IAM will support and fight for our members regardless of any decision their employer makes.”
Daimler Truck will shut Portland factory, lay off 375 and move production to the East Coast
River point medical going to announce next week moving 200 jobs from district 2 to Clark county. $175k avg salary.
We just lost 575 jobs and $115M+ annually in wages in portland.
Unfortunately, that's only part of the story.
When you include local suppliers, Daimler's decision will wipe out more than 1,200 Living Wage jobs.
And that's just the beginning.
Every lost job means less spending in local shops, cafés, restaurants, and services, putting even more small businesses and jobs at risk.
This isn't an isolated setback—it's the predictable outcome of years of anti-business policies from the DSA government that have made Portland a less attractive place to invest, expand, and create high-quality jobs.
Investment goes where it's welcome, and right now Portland is sending the opposite message.
The government needs to change direction immediately.
If it doesn't, the economic doom loop of lost investment, lost jobs, and declining local economies will only accelerate—and it will become far harder to reverse.
This due to high crime, high taxes, failing schools, high Utilty cost and anti business City and State.
Blazers are next.
DSA can’t defend their failed policies that are destroying quality of life in Portland and growing poverty and misery for all Portlanders.
At least foie gras is banned!

He might have just gone fishing. Is his boat at home?
Dan J. Sullivan is nowhere to be found.
He reportedly fled his house a few days ago and the media has been unable to track him down.
He decided to get involved in a dirty and nefarious scheme to rig an election.
And now he wants to avoid the consequences.
Daniel J. Sullivan appears to be on the run in the vast Alaskan landscape.
Red handed with your fingers in the cookie jar

Not sure if there is a more wayward, anti-American than this guy. He is NOT a US Senator as he cheated big time in his election(s).
That is a good share of it, fraudsters is another good share, and I can't fathom the remainder of the costs
US Healthcare is for US citizens only. No taxpayer dollars for non US citizens.
I agree that we should as a rule, however there's a problem with Gen Z. Over 70% are not physically or mentally capable of serving.
Unpopular opinion- BUT every man that is 18 or above should not only have to register for selective service BUT have to serve for at least 2-4 years to service to our country so everyone bears equally the sacrifice.
Even more unpopular opinion all man AND woman in this country that is over 18 or above should have to serve our country for at least 2-4 years.
They don’t have to do a combat job. There are plenty are tons of support jobs that are available.
Every American should have to bear the cost of service to our country.
No excuses🔥
Wouldn't it be great if the Democratic Party offered something to make our lives a little bit better. That is the job of a legislator. The empty echo is deafening.
Donald Trump wants to steal the midterms. Senate Democrats have been preparing for months to stop him.
Elections belong to the American people, not Trump. We will fight him every step of the way, and we will ensure free and fair elections.
