Local Notice!
Corvallis Oregon is finally taking after Tina Koteks Socialist Tax Hikes.
They want to tax $14.3 million from it's residents through consecutive payroll and income taxes.
Explicitly without a vote.
The worker ecosystem in Corvallis is already suffocating!
Only approximately 29,900 residents are employed in Corvallis.
Many are searching, but cannot find a fucking job.
If they can find one, it's often part-time or seasonal.
Many people in Corvallis work minimum wage, what is minimum wage after a $14.3 million dollar tax?
Definitely not sustainable! That's what it is.
Democrats are trying to strangle the dead economy in Oregon for every penny.
Welcome to Taxtopia, soon enough it's going to be felt everywhere across Oregon unless we force it to a vote.

@TimothyTodd3 @puckerbrush21 @pdxmoderate This is false, corporations being greedy and dumb across the U.S. is what drove me back locally to Oregon from Connecticut.

This is false, corporations are just greedy and dumb.
They have been doing this since before the Dems went tax crazy in OR while I was in CT.
Corporations leave because it costs less in other areas, not because it isn't a profit.
Of course, some might/probably would bitch and relocate anyways but when they do that in reaction to fair business protocol vs taxation then they'll catch actual heat for it.
If Corporations need to cut cost corners they should just quit lobbying so we don't have to push to get it banned.

[Symon @SymonINDP]

It never is, what we need is change.
Real change for the people.

At this point the only solution is to keep calling it out until enough of the people care enough to add their voice to the topic.

Too many here in Oregon and across the U.S. (I still saw the same post-COVID issues in CT that eventually pushed me back to Oregon with family) just subscribe to a defeatist mentality instead of attempting to address what matters.

[Symon @SymonINDP]

This issue of private-sector employment in Oregon isn't only due to governmental policy but in a mix with corporate tendencies post-COVID.

These tendencies look like: Less staff, less operating hours, and more automation or outsourcing of certain roles to different companies.

The constant problem is that if you try to punish these companies, they'll often just leave/relocate like they did with offshoring.

I'm not against taxing the private sector, I hate big-businesses as much as I hate the Left in Oregon or anywhere for that matter.

However, even in this I think taxation is the wrong path, there should be stricter employment and operational protocols.

For example, a simple policy fix I would implement is if a business offers both Walk-In and Drive-Thru services, than they must offer both during all operating hours of the day.

I'm from Corvallis, Oregon.

A highly populated college town where since 2020 most of the fast-food places close their lobby hours while refusing people who attempt to bike or walk through the drive-thru at certain hours of the day which is just blatant ableism/classism in effect, we're a safe community!

Short-term cost-cutting in favor of fewer staff and singular drive-thru revenue is myopic.

It sacrifices long-term revenue and customer goodwill from a core segment that can't (or won't) use the drive-thru.

In a university town with strong active-transport culture, such as in Corvallis this isn't neutral economics.

It actively excludes and cuts themselves off from part of the customer market that would've kept coming back.

This also obviously erodes local employment through limiting/decreasing staffing requirements.

I would also argue that from a non-local/Oregon standpoint that it's still an error in more dangerous communities.

If you actually objectively think about the reason why shootings happen at or near fast-food businesses in these areas is because such a location offers a "safe-space."

Adolescents in these areas can't simply choose not to be associated to an area they grew-up in by criminals who harbor a murderous hate for anyone from that area.

So when they're targeted nonetheless their either forced to run to a populated area such as a local McDonalds or Convenience Stores which provides literal cover and a higher probability of the shooting being taken seriously or the shooter giving up due to increased risk of getting caught.

When these areas lock their doors, they're essentially dooming more adolescents to either dying on the street regardless of their affiliations or turning them towards getting involved in such back-and-forth warfare out of survivability.

The proper solution is increased monitoring of these areas, coordinating with local police to have an immediate response to any prospective shooting that may happen at such a place of business.

This could look like simply rotating a permanent post near these locations, where police can do their paperwork while monitoring the area directly,

These high crime areas also need to be coordinating with federal agencies to address this systemic criminal warfare going on, instead of just subscribing to a "let them kill each other if they wish" mentality.
