#1 Please DO NOT come here. It is simply no longer safe.

#2 Amazing how the homeless are invisible during Democrat administrations.

#3 Wonder what the homeless situation is compared by red and blue states and red and blue cities.

#4 With jobs going wanting especially in construction, there are few excuses to not be working. I work in construction and with the Davis-Bacon Rates, we have to pay people $20.00 an hour plus fringes to lean on a broom and pick up scrap lumber.

Just saying.

#5 But the bonanza, unsurprisingly, has not come to everyone.

Does the BBC Guy somehow expect the 'bonanza' to just miraculously float down from the sky and land in everybody's lap? Because that's how that sentence reads.

#6 The BBC guys comment reads as snark against America. Either Americans are lazy or our racism or something is a factor in not everybody having a job despite opportunity.

#8 Considering Portland is one of the very most leftist cities in the USA this is kind of rich and proof the left doesn't care about the poor.

#9 Mayor Ted Wheeler, a Democrat, said, "inequality [is] growing at an alarming rate and the benefits from a [growing] economy are increasingly concentrated in fewer and fewer hands

I had to read the Trotskyist newspaper "Solidarity" to discover that income inequality increased during the Clinton and Obama years. The Democrats are not liberals. They are FASCISTS concerned only with helping a small group of fantastically rich and connected colleagues.

#10 The globalist elitists are neo-Feudalists and their rent-seeking is largely enabled by "progressivism".

#11 HAPPILY, the hop crops are unaffected.

#12 This is the Left's vision for the future of America. Themselves who are well-off and price everyone out of housing, and the deplorables.

They're all Ostensibly Good Marxists except their policies seem designed to explicitly hurt any proletariat that are actually employed or seeking employment. Hence why they have to scream about race and/or sex for sixteen hours a day (assuming they ever go off shift, as the Oddfather used to do).

#14 income inequality increased during the Clinton and Obama years

Democrats were expanding their base in both directions. They are the party of the poor and the rich and the blue collar Dems were just slow to realize it and jump ship.
