I have a ten minute commute to my job.DugtheDoog said:Fuck, Portland is worthless. Seattle is just as fucktarded, if not moreso. But at least it's aesthetically pleasing for the most part and home to a lot of industry. Microsoft, Starbucks, Costco, Nintendo, T-Mobile, Expedia, Real Networks, Valve, Amazon, Nordstrom, Paccar, Weyerhauser, etc, etc.
If you're comparing the 2 most pussified cities in America, at least one of them brings in a lot of jobs so you have an excuse to live there. There's only a finite number of times you can get turned down by Nike.
Shit, shortly after graduating from UW a little over 10 years ago I took the first solid-paying corporate gig I could find to start saving up some money. Over the years I'd had plenty of 'why the fuck do I even live here?' moments but for some reason this one stands out vividly and really got my brain to start thinking of other options. I was driving at a snail's pace after work on I-90 and listening to KJR (I was 23...fuck off). As it went to commercial, KJR was doing a promo for their latest and greatest contest. Being a sports channel and all, you'd think the grand prize drawing would net you season tickets to the Hawks/Huskies or some kind of trip to see the M's at Yankee Stadium. But who needs that kind of fleeting garbage when KJR will offset your carbon footprint for a year? Fuck. My. Life. -
If Portland had any real clout, or balls, theydw ban Intel and Nike from selling into states and employing workers from states they disagree with.
That would show them -
I know you're being sarcastic but Intel and Nike have nothing to do with the city of Portland.sarktastic said:If Portland had any real clout, or balls, theydw ban Intel and Nike from selling into states and employing workers from states they disagree with.

Nike Town, Nike Headquarter Train stop, Nike Store, Nike EE store, say hi... but your high.
Portlandia spends more State of Oregon Corporate and personal income tax revenue than the next 10 cities combined. -
