    Downtowns will be less shopping in the future. Future dead zones, less desirable to live in if they can't keep them gentrified enough?




    Was the Pearl District hit up at all?

    So sad... Been going there for years. Really great people. Good time to defund the police.

    My wife was devastated by this. She works downtown and had just been talking to them about their trepidation over reopening after covid. Now looted. Just brutal. The landscape is going to look a lot different in the future.

    The literal last person on earth we want to hear from talking about unity. And thats so sad, because it used to be a place where we would get our unity from... Which is emblematic. We havent had a president since 2016.

    Are you saying the man who says he "loves THE blacks" and "he's MY african american" and that "maga loves THE blacks", isn't the best option for making a speech to unify the country?

    That's like saying the person who says "the black man" does xyz is the best person to go to to discuss how to end racism.

    "Joe Biden seems like the hit in the leg instead of hit in the heart candidate"

    That is exactly how I feel.

    The ending was powerful. the whole clip:

    What a disaster that would be! I hope they let him do it though just so he can dig himself a bigger hole.

    These people really need to learn to protest peacefully.
