The solution used to be public shelters at schools. But of course there are no neighborhood schools and kids are bused miles. So getting to the nearest shelter would be impractical. That and they won't even put shelters in the god damned schools anymore.
Charles, we can't even convince the moron hipsters of left-leaning Portland into simple collectivist prophylactic measures like putting fluoride in the drinking water how they hell are you going to convince the ultra-morons of tea party Jesus Land to implement regulations and tax levies for building storm shelters?

My lord, the unintentional comedy! This piece is all over the place. From the war on terror to mayor McGuin, I actually got miles on my AmEx afer reading it.
It's like reading a highschool sophmore version of a Unified Field Theory for dipshit manifestos. The self-inflated earnestness is so palpable I can actually smell the shitty weed he smoked!

tkc commented on Oregon Woman Raped by Ex (but at Least Her Property Taxes Are the Lowest in the State!).
What is most depressing is incidents of this nature are exactly what the Republican establishment want.
I guarantee you this woman and her community will not hold the GOP or idiotic Tea Party policies responsible for this. Not one bit.
It will be the nebulous and nefarious entity known as the "gubmint" that will be blamed.
See. The gubmint failed. I mean, "why am I paying taxes to the gubmint at all?" will be the refrain.
So therefor we need to punish the gubmint by electing MORE people that choke the evil gubmint of it's precious tax food.
Take note of the county where this took place. And you'll see in the next election.

tkc commented on All You Motherfuckers Complaining That aPodments Are Too Small at 200 Square Feet.
@4 So if I understand your argument you have data proving the resistance toaPodments is class based? Is this because you happen to HAVE data on the class utilizing aPodments. And they are underclass renters?
Then by-all-means: Post some rigorous data on the class, race and income backgrounds of your average Large US city aPodment dwellers.
[ Spoilers: They will be white middle/upper-middle class college educated 20 somethings.]
Very little of the criticism of aPodments I've read (or voiced) has anything to do with their size or the "class" of people who will use them - since the majority class that will use them wil be the same class that is currently using $1200 a month studios.
Unless your argument is that the resistance is based on a mistaken notion of what the class of potential renters will be.

They will do nothing substantial.
It's a rather tedious axiom, but if you're going to steal you had better steal a lot. Like a couple of billion. Preferably from tax payers. Then nobody will touch you.
Same thing applies to murder. If you're going to kill, make sure you kill at least 50 thousand or more. Then pretty much nobody touches you. In fact you can usually find a few million people to cheer you on.

You do realize the prime use of the National Guard over the last forty years has been to help with national disasters, right?

On the other side we have... who do we have? A couple of chinese medicine partitioners, some guys on Penny-farthings who grow civil war beards for sport, Anti-taxers, Anti-vaxers, Conspiracy lunatics, and finally the Grandpa Simpsons of Portland who just hate their mayor for what ever insane reason.
Golly. Who to side with? It's a conundrum.
