I guess that would be very typical, grabbing gov't assistance with both hands and whining about socialism the whole time

Google the farm bill. Farmers are most successful when they work the system for handouts. Most farming is not economically viable otherwise

Why does this notification say passwords were compromised and not password hashes? Certainly Roku engineers were better than that?

It's kind of weird to see big corporations want to attract talent but then act surprised or salty when people don't like being treated like a line item in a budget.

It's nothing personal. I'm sure your company is great and you truly believe in your mission beyond just providing value to shareholders but humans like stability and to be treated like people. You might be a Fortune 500 but you're not god just a job.

If you think these things aren't fair or suck, you should try treating people better or else deal with the organized labor that will make decisions for you.

Sorry, it's getting kind of annoying to see employers not getting this.

> Further, it's happening because of how they voted. [citation needed]

Its happening because business-backed city leadership decided to deprioritize affordable housing in an effort to uplevel the tax base and get rid of all the artist types, with the completely forseeable result being an explosion in homelessness

Its more useful to compare the violent crime rate per capita, not strictly homicides: https://www.areavibes.com/compare-results/?place1=Portland%2...

By which measure Portland is safer than both of your examples, even after this supposed apocalyptic crime wave caused by defunding the Police

There's a lot wrong here:

1. Don't conflate business interests with the interests of the population of a city. I don't doubt there is rising demand for private armed security from the 1% of Portlanders who own businesses, that does not reflect on everyone.

2. Portland has seen rising violent crime but this is part regression to the mean (Portland is the safest city of it's size, even after the 2020 spike) and part of a larger trend (crime rose everywhere in the U.S. since 2020). The assertion that policing has broken down and the city is lawless is laughable.

Or use Kotlin, it's near perfectly interoperable with Java and the acclamation period is measured in weeks if you're a Java dev
