Portland (OR) to become the next Detroit?
Walmart's shuttering ALL of it's stores in Portland. Nike and others are already gone.
The chickens have finally come home to roost. Just goes to show that Democrat crime "policies" simply don't work, no matter how hard they wish it.

I beg to differ, the result is exactly what they intend.
Defund the police is so they can put in a national centralized (controlled ) law enforcement. Think SS.
Demoralizing the police , corrupting them , defunding them, arresting and convicting them for doing their job add Soros DA’s releasing criminals and not charging them. The summer of love taught the ignorant black predators that they were entitled to commit crimes and violence because of a historical narrative that they are somehow the victims of 150 yrs ago.
Increase the crime rates and point the finger at the wrong group , It’s the old tried and true Hegelian dialectic 101
Create a problem that will cause your objective to be desired as a solution. It’s how we got the central bank and how we have been led to slaughter with the endless wars.
On a more personal note I have an ultra liberal nephew that suffers deeply from TDS who moved there and likely voted for the city's demise. I suspect if the whole city was burned to the ground by Antifa and BLM he still wouldn't wake up.
Detroit effectively won WW2 (with the vital help of Russia.) What good did Portland ever do?
All the cities on the west coast are committing suicide.
All will come crawling to the fedgov who will steal from the productive
in the heartland to bail them out.
NIFO or secede unless you want to continue being a slave.
Maybe the current wave of lawlessness and anarchy is just the end-game, of Portland's continuing hollowing-out process.
As for Portland...we have Portland Cement, ha, ha.
About 30 years ago I read in our local rag that for every $1 in NYS taxes paid by NYC, NYC gets back about $1.30 in services and payments, but every NYS $ my county (Monroe) pays to the state, it gets back about $0.70 in services. See how that works? I bet it's worse now. A lot worse.
Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge.com published an account of the Portland crime situation, apparently derived from recent Twitter posts. Regarding Portland's insufferable crime rate, Durden cited Andy Ngo's comment: "... Antifa-BLM 2020 riots normalized urban criminality."
This closing of Walmart's last two Portland city stores is tragic news for honest shoppers who aren't committed to the leftist agenda of destroying America thru unvetted "immigration" and no-cash-bail release of vandals and professional shoplifters.

Once you figure out their goal is to increase it.
This is a problem with people believing the media, and not being involved in their local communities. And even more of the latter.
We need 2 parents working to get ahead. And then we have communists raising our kids.
When I left University in 1992, I saw the watering down of courses because their difficulty was turning kids off to certain degrees.
These are all seeds. And nobody sees them all. My parents never finished High School, much less could explain what should/should not be taught back then. Today... They'd set the schools on fire!
And let's not forget that Oregon literally murdered someone trying to stand up for what was right: LaVoy Finicum. And they had help from the Feds.
