Costs can me amortized and recovered over decades or even generations. The continual focus on cost right now, is short sighted. It's more important to maximize utility, quality, and aesthetics which all have direct long term impacts on quality of life. And quality of life is really what we should be optimizing, not dollars.
I agree project management has been subpar up to this point and needs to be vastly improved. However it is important to keep the proper perspective. We are only 1% into the lifetime of the rail project. We have a long way to go and there is still plenty of time to do better.

415,958 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | I don’t think there was a plot. I think it’s just the unintended consequences of progress. The people who brought us equality, automation, and free trade just didn’t think about the guys being replaced by progress.
We lived in America, the greatest country on the planet. We were raised being told that our life would be easier and better than our parents. We believed it. So we relaxed a little and coasted through life. We didn’t quit working, but hey, we (USA) were king of the world, we could take it easy.
We weren’t discriminated against for being male; we were just sorta overlooked.
While we were coasting, equality for minorities and women was discovered. Science and technology gave us automation and robotics. And the computer gave us the global economy and free trade.
con't | 4 | But is that of our own making? I don't seee a plot.
I've never felt discriminated against because of being male. Women did a much better job of making sure girls got the equal attention that they deserved in school. Once girls had their horizon's opened through changes in schooling, they started to excel, with equal support. For whatever reason, I think young women grew up more motivated and most boys/men still lived with the 'knowledge' that they were superior and it would stay that way. (I did).
Maybe women, free from the role of breadwinner, but tired of their limited choices, just worked harder in school - a big bonus in an era where brains and relationship are more important in the workplace than the blue color skills men counted on.
I do think we need to find out why boys are underperforing in school. They are getting crunched in schools everwhere and we need to know why.

If you have the courage to study the evidence perhaps you'll ultimately know the truth. Good luck on your journey. | 4 | Well, Jim, please feel free to prove anything I have stated to not be true, or to be "ill informed". Your inevitable inability to do so will yet further example my point. You, like most antifluoridationists, make claims without verifying the validity of them beforehand. Then when challenged to provide evidence of support, you are, of course, unable to do so, with the falsity of your claims having been fully exposed to the public. This is precisely the problem with basing decisions on the whims of such people, especially when those decisions directly affect the health and well-being of all citizens.
As to what you put into your body, that's entirely up to you. I doubt that anyone will hold a gun to your head and pour fluoridated water down your throat, so it is entirely your choice to drink it or not.
And, as I predicted, your having had your false claims exposed and corrected previously did not cause you to cease making them, nor will it now.

"Indigenous peoples have consistently asserted the right to speak and be heard at the UN and other international arenas. As Kānaka Maoli, we are not against non-Kanaka joining us and supporting us in our efforts to seek justice and assert our self-determination. We are, however, against non-Kanaka who claim to speak for us when we are perfectly capable of speaking for ourselves. Thank you for your time and consideration. "
I also suggest that before you start drop boxing whatever you threatening Mililani with that you verify with Jack Iaukea as to his current relationship with Kai Landow. I received an apology from the Iaukea camp and they no longer have anything to do with Kai Landow. | 4 | Mililani Trask has a horrible pattern of censoring those with whom she disagrees.

DuBois proposed the Negro Project to sterilize young black girls to reduce negro poverty.
"Margaret Sanger aligned herself with the eugenicists whose ideology prevailed in the early 20th century. Eugenicists strongly espoused racial supremacy and “purity,” particularly of the “Aryan” race. Eugenicists hoped to purify the bloodlines and improve the race by encouraging the “fit” to reproduce and the “unfit” to restrict their reproduction. They sought to contain the “inferior” races through segregation, sterilization, birth control and abortion."

But since the combined population of these native cats comprises only about 2% of the total number of cats nationwide -- and there are NONE in hawaii -- and since most human-populated areas have almost zero native cats living among people, the source of oocyst contamination is almost exclusively domestic house-cat. In Hawaii, it is exclusively domestic house-cats.
Environmental contamination of oocysts is so pervasive in areas with high concentrations of cats that scientists fear toxoplasmosis infections may become almost impossible to avoid. Toxoplasmosis is now being linked to Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, autism, depression, suicide, OCD and more. There is no vaccine and no cure for toxoplasmosis. Once you have it, you have it for life. We really don't know at this point what all issues this parasite presents in humans. | 6 | Any warm-blooded animal, including humans, can become infected by ingesting oocysts from contaminated food or water sources, or even by inhaling them in dry areas where they have become aerosolized. But none of these other warm-blooded animals can shed more oocysts. These oocysts are microscopic. Many, many of them could fit under your fingernail. You don't have to do around spooning cat poop into your mouth to become infected. A simple swipe of your hand across your sweaty brow after gardening is all it takes.
Humans and animals can also become infected by eating the undercooked meat of infected animals. But those infected meat animals became infected by ingesting oocysts shed by cats. No matter how humans or animals become infected, the original source is always cats. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45445192, 45191524, 45599928, 45446324, 45438648] |

1) causes "enamel damage" in 41% of all children.
2) causes "lowered IQ"
3) causes "ADHD"
4) causes any neurological damage at levels found in optimally fluoridated drinking water.
He references the Milin & Till ADHD paper, for example and claims, "Now it has been proven to cause ADHD"
He has never provided any references or quotes, because he can't. Even long-time fluoridation opponents like Malin & Till do not claim their studies prove drinking optimally fluoridated water causes significant health problems. | 4 | That is a typical reply from the big money promoters of this outdated practice of fluoridation. We don't need any court to confirm a drug, because when fluoride is added to water to treat the body (teeth), that is a definition of a drug.
Ask your pharmacist if a prescription is required to buy fluoride tablets. You will see it is.
A doctor or dentist cannot force fluoride or any drug on ANYONE. They would lose their license to practice if they did.

That's not a fact, it's an opinion. M97 will raise taxes on _some_ Oregon C corporations -- not nonprofits, not pass-throughs, not proprietors. Those same corporations used to pay a lot more in taxes than they do now. Why shouldn't Umpqua, using your example, pay 5 percent of _net_ income to support the Oregon economy. That doesn't sound outrageous to me, bearing in mind that their senior management team probably takes home more than $12 million in bonuses and perks.
Kendall will probably eat some of the tax and pass along some of it. I'm not concerned that the cost of cars will go up 1.25 percent (if they pass along half). Who would notice?
Grocers are another story. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a proposal next February to reduce the M97 tax on food to help that industry. M97 is just the first step in building an adequately funded education system. | 4 | Each of my examples have huge sales in Oregon, but for the sake of argument, let's say Umpqua has "only" $500 million revenue in Oregon (half of their actual total). Their new tax will be nearly $12 million per year, over 5 percent of their net income. I don't know what you mean about NW Natural -- regulated or not, they are allowed to pass their costs to their customers. Yes. Lithia is multi-state, but are a very large presence in Oregon. How about a better example: Kendall Auto Group. Most of their dealers are in Oregon. Their financials are private, but there is no doubt they greatly exceed $25 million in sales per year in Oregon. And grocers? Forget their cost on purchases. Grocers, like auto dealers, have a low profit margin, and the tax takes a huge bite out of profits.
