  a

  special

  episode

  when

  I
• 1:45
  see
• 1:45
  something
• 1:45
  come
• 1:45
  up
• 1:46
  that
• 1:46
  didn't

• 1:46
  into
• 1:46
  the
• 1:46
  midweek
• 1:47

  fit

  into

  this

  weekend
• 1:50
  show.
• 1:50
  And
• 1:50
  as
• 1:51
  you
• 1:51
  can
• 1:51
  tell
• 1:51
  with
• 1:51
  my
• 1:51
  voice,
• 1:52
  I'm
• 1:52
  still
• 1:52
  getting
• 1:53
  over
• 1:53
  this
• 1:53
  rough
• 1:53
  cold
• 1:54
  I've
• 1:54
  had
• 1:54
  this
• 1:54
  week
• 1:55
  and
• 1:55
  it's
• 1:55
  been
• 1:55
  a
• 1:55
  rough
• 1:56
  one.
• 1:56
  But
• 1:57
  I
• 1:57
  wanted
• 1:57
  to
• 1:58
  talk
• 1:58
  a
• 1:58
  little
• 1:58
  bit
• 1:58
  today
• 1:59
  here
• 1:59
  about
• 1:59
  what
• 2:00
  I'm
• 2:00
  seeing
• 2:01
  in
• 2:01
  our
• 2:01
  west
• 2:01
  coast
• 2:02
  cities.
• 2:03
  I
• 2:03
  live
• 2:03
  in
• 2:03
  Portland,
• 2:04
  Oregon,
• 2:04
  and
• 2:05
  something
• 2:05
  just
• 2:05
  happened
• 2:06
  that
• 2:06
  I
• 2:06
  saw
• 2:06
  get
• 2:06
  announced
• 2:07
  this
• 2:07
  week
• 2:08
  that
• 2:08
  just
• 2:08
  made
• 2:09
  me
• 2:09
  shake
• 2:09
  my
• 2:09
  head
• 2:10
  and
• 2:10
  I
• 2:10
  saw
• 2:10
  it
• 2:11
  coming.
• 2:12
  I
• 2:12
  used
• 2:12
  to
• 2:12
  have
• 2:12
  a
• 2:13
  strong
• 2:13
  partnership
• 2:13
  with
• 2:14
  Keen
• 2:14
  Utility.
• 2:15
  I
• 2:15
  did.
• 2:15
  I
• 2:16
  went
• 2:16
  to
• 2:17
  their
• 2:17
  vents.
• 2:18
  They
• 2:18
  sent
• 2:18
  me
• 2:18
  down
• 2:19
  15,
• 2:19
  20
• 2:20
  minutes
• 2:20
  away
• 2:20
  from
• 2:20
  my
• 2:21
  house
• 2:21
  to
• 2:21
  their
• 2:21
  factory.
• 2:22
  40
• 2:23
  minutes
• 2:23
  with
• 2:23
  traffic.
• 2:24
  You
• 2:24
  know
• 2:24
  how
• 2:24
  that
• 2:24
  goes.
• 2:25
  And
• 2:26
  I
• 2:26
  would
• 2:26
  go
• 2:26
  down
• 2:26
  there
• 2:27
  and
• 2:27
  show
• 2:27
  up,
• 2:27
  we'd
• 2:27
  do
• 2:28
  these
• 2:28
  events,
• 2:28
  we'd
• 2:28
  have
• 2:28
  a
• 2:29
  great
• 2:29
  time.
• 2:29
  And
• 2:29
  they
• 2:29
  supplied
• 2:30
  me
• 2:30
  with
• 2:30
  a
• 2:30
  lot
• 2:30
  of
• 2:31
  boots
• 2:31
  over
• 2:31
  the
• 2:31
  years.
• 2:32
  One
• 2:33
  thing
• 2:33
  that
• 2:33
  happened
• 2:34
  that
• 2:34
  I
• 2:34
  noticed
• 2:35
  a
• 2:35
  few
• 2:35
  years
• 2:35
  ago
• 2:36
  and
• 2:36
  I
• 2:36
  noted
• 2:36
  it
• 2:36
  in
• 2:37
  my
• 2:37
  head
• 2:37
  and
• 2:37
  I
• 2:37
  went,
• 2:37
  that's
• 2:38
  interesting.
• 2:39
  Keen
• 2:40
  started
• 2:40
  shipping
• 2:40
  all
• 2:41
  of
• 2:41
  their
• 2:42
  shoes
• 2:42
  out
• 2:42
  of
• 2:42
  Kentucky,
• 2:44
  started
• 2:44
  coming
• 2:45
  out
• 2:45
  of
• 2:45
  the
• 2:45
  Midwest
• 2:47
  and
• 2:47
  I
• 2:47
  went,
• 2:47
  that's
• 2:48
  not
• 2:48
  good
• 2:48
  for
• 2:49
  Portland
• 2:49
  manufacturing
• 2:50
  because
• 2:51
  they
• 2:51
  did
• 2:51
  have
• 2:51
  a
• 2:52
  rather
• 2:52
  small
• 2:53
  manufacturing
• 2:54
  presence
• 2:54
  here
• 2:55
  in
• 2:55
  Portland,
• 2:56
  Oregon.
• 2:57
  And
• 2:57
  they
• 2:57
  had
• 2:57
  the
• 2:58
  kind
• 2:58
  of
• 2:58
  Made
• 2:59
  in
• 2:59
  USA
• 3:00
  logo
• 3:01
  on
• 3:01
  their
• 3:01
  boots.
• 3:03
  Were
• 3:03
  they
• 3:03
  really
• 3:03
  made
• 3:03
  in
• 3:04
  usa?
• 3:05
  No.
• 3:06
  Not
• 3:06
  compared
• 3:06
  to
• 3:06
  my
• 3:07
  Truman
• 3:07
  boots
• 3:07
  that
• 3:08
  are
• 3:08
  made
• 3:08
  down
• 3:08
  in
• 3:08
  Eugene,
• 3:09
  Oregon
• 3:09
  that
• 3:09
  I
• 3:10
  love.
• 3:10
  Now
• 3:11
  those
• 3:11
  are
• 3:11
  not
• 3:11
  in
• 3:11
  comparison
• 3:12
  to
• 3:13
  Keen
• 3:13
  Utility
• 3:13
  because
• 3:14
  Keen
• 3:14
  Utility
• 3:14
  are
• 3:14
  a
• 3:15
  work
• 3:15
  boot
• 3:15
  that
• 3:16
  is
• 3:16
  an
• 3:16
  affordable
• 3:16
  work
• 3:17
  boot.
• 3:17
  And
• 3:17
  I
• 3:17
  say
• 3:18
  that
• 3:18
  because
• 3:18
  they're
• 3:18
  120
• 3:19
  bucks
• 3:19
  versus
• 3:19
  the
• 3:20
  handmade,
• 3:21
  all
• 3:21
  made
• 3:21
  in
• 3:22
  USA.
• 3:22
  Four
• 3:23
  to
• 3:23
  $600
• 3:24
  boot
• 3:24
  down
• 3:24
  there.
• 3:25
  So
• 3:25
  they're
• 3:26
  not
• 3:26
  in
• 3:26
  comparison
• 3:26
  that
• 3:27
  way.
• 3:28
  We're
• 3:28
  talking
• 3:28
  custom
• 3:29
  versus
• 3:30
  a
• 3:30
  good
• 3:30
  quality
• 3:31
  work
• 3:31
  boot.
• 3:33
  Now,
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  issues
• 3:34
  that
• 3:34
  I
• 3:34
  saw
• 3:34
  is
• 3:35
  all
• 3:35
  the
• 3:36
  parts
• 3:36
  were
• 3:37
  mostly
• 3:38
  made
• 3:38
  overseas,
• 3:40
  so
• 3:40
  they'd
• 3:40
  get
• 3:41
  these
• 3:41
  pieces
• 3:42
  made
• 3:42
  in
• 3:42
  overseas.
• 3:43
  And
• 3:43
  since
• 3:44
  they
• 3:44
  were
• 3:44
  bonding
• 3:45
  pieces
• 3:45
  together,
• 3:46
  heating
• 3:47
  them
• 3:47
  up,
• 3:47
  fastening
• 3:48
  together
• 3:48
  and
• 3:49
  building
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  shoe
• 3:50
  in
• 3:50
  Portland,
• 3:50
  there
• 3:50
  was
• 3:51
  enough
• 3:51
  that
• 3:51
  they
• 3:51
  could
• 3:51
  call
• 3:52
  it
• 3:52
  Made
• 3:52
  in
• 3:52
  usa,
• 3:54
  even
• 3:54
  though
• 3:54
  the
• 3:55
  uppers
• 3:55
  and
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  lowers
• 3:56
  and
• 3:57
  all
• 3:57
  these
• 3:57
  other
• 3:57
  pieces
• 3:57
  were
• 3:57
  made
• 3:58
  overseas
• 3:59
  and
• 3:59
  they
• 3:59
  had
• 4:00
  a
• 4:00
  decent
• 4:00
  size
• 4:01
  facility
• 4:02
  there,
• 4:02
  but
• 4:03
  by
• 4:03
  no
• 4:03
  means
• 4:04
  was
• 4:04
  anywhere
• 4:05
  near
• 4:05
  half
• 4:06
  of
• 4:06
  the
• 4:06
  boots
• 4:07
  were
• 4:07
  made
• 4:07
  in
• 4:07
  Portland.
• 4:09
  Now,
• 4:09
  you
• 4:09
  could
• 4:09
  see
• 4:10
  some
• 4:10
  that
• 4:10
  said
• 4:10
  Made
• 4:10
  in
• 4:11
  usa.
• 4:11
  And
• 4:11
  those
• 4:11
  are
• 4:11
  the
• 4:11
  ones
• 4:11
  that
• 4:12
  they
• 4:12
  could
• 4:12
  bond
• 4:12
  together
• 4:12
  like
• 4:13
  that
• 4:13
  and
• 4:13
  build
• 4:13
  at
• 4:13
  that
• 4:13
  factory.
• 4:14
  And
• 4:14
  they
• 4:15
  had
• 4:15
  probably
• 4:15
  100
• 4:16
  people
• 4:16
  working
• 4:16
  in
• 4:17
  this
• 4:17
  factory.
• 4:18
  Great
• 4:18
  people.
• 4:18
  I
• 4:19
  was
• 4:19
  there
• 4:19
  every
• 4:19
  year
• 4:20
  for
• 4:20
  years
• 4:20
  after
• 4:21
  years
• 4:22
  doing
• 4:22
  these
• 4:22
  things.
• 4:24
  Now,
• 4:25
  Keene
• 4:25
  Utility
• 4:26
  has
• 4:26
  a
• 4:26
  big
• 4:26
  presence
• 4:27
  in
• 4:27
  downtown
• 4:27
  in
• 4:27
  the
• 4:28
  Pearl
• 4:28
  District.
• 4:28
  They
• 4:28
  have
• 4:28
  a
• 4:29
  big.
• 4:30
  Their
• 4:30
  big
• 4:30
  meeting
• 4:31
  space
• 4:31
  there
• 4:31
  for
• 4:32
  all
• 4:32
  their
• 4:32
  offices.
• 4:33
  They've
• 4:33
  got
• 4:33
  the
• 4:34
  Keen
• 4:35
  store.
• 4:35
  They've
• 4:35
  had
• 4:35
  a
• 4:35
  Portland
• 4:36
  institution
• 4:36
  here
• 4:37
  for
• 4:37
  a
• 4:37
  while.
• 4:38
  I
• 4:38
  knew
• 4:39
  as
• 4:39
  soon
• 4:40
  as
• 4:40
  we
• 4:40
  saw
• 4:41
  that
• 4:42
  shipping
• 4:42
  facility
• 4:43
  open
• 4:43
  up
• 4:44
  there,
• 4:44
  I'm
• 4:44
  like,
• 4:44
  why
• 4:44
  would
• 4:44
  it
• 4:45
  make
• 4:45
  sense
• 4:46
  to
• 4:46
  make
• 4:47
  boots
• 4:47
  in
• 4:47
  one
• 4:47
  of
• 4:47
  the
• 4:47
  most
• 4:48
  expensive
• 4:49
  places
• 4:49
  in
• 4:49
  the
• 4:49
  country
• 4:50
  to
• 4:50
  make
• 4:50
  boots
• 4:51
  and
• 4:52
  ship
• 4:52
  them
• 4:52
  to
• 4:52
  a
• 4:53
  place
• 4:53
  that
• 4:53
  would
• 4:53
  be
• 4:53
  so
• 4:54
  much
• 4:54
  cheaper
• 4:56
  to
• 4:56
  make
• 4:56
  boots,
• 4:57
  which
• 4:57
  would
• 4:57
  be
• 4:58
  in
• 4:58
  Kentucky
• 4:58
  or
• 4:58
  in
• 4:58
  the
• 4:59
  Midwest,
• 4:59
  anywhere.
• 5:01
  Sure
• 5:01
  enough,
• 5:01
  this
• 5:01
  week,
• 5:02
  those
• 5:03
  hundred
• 5:03
  jobs
• 5:04
  went
• 5:04
  away
• 5:05
  and
• 5:06
  they
• 5:06
  went
• 5:06
  all
• 5:06
  the
• 5:07
  way
• 5:07
  out
• 5:07
  to
• 5:07
  Kentucky
• 5:08
  where
• 5:08
  they're
• 5:08
  putting
• 5:08
  in
• 5:08
  a
• 5:09
  bigger
• 5:09
  manufacturing
• 5:10
  facility
• 5:11
  with
• 5:11
  more
• 5:11
  automation,
• 5:13
  less
• 5:13
  people,
• 5:14
  and
• 5:14
  they
• 5:14
  could
• 5:14
  build
• 5:14
  more
• 5:15
  boots.
• 5:16
  Now
• 5:16
  is
• 5:16
  that
• 5:16
  good
• 5:17
  for
• 5:17
  Keen
• 5:17
  and
• 5:17
  the
• 5:17
  Made
• 5:17
  in
• 5:18
  USA
• 5:18
  stuff?
• 5:18
  Sure
• 5:18
  it
• 5:19
  is.
• 5:20
  That's.
• 5:20
  I
• 5:20
  don't
• 5:21
  blame
• 5:21
  them
• 5:21
  a
• 5:22
  bit
• 5:22
  for
• 5:22
  that.
• 5:23
  Have
• 5:23
  I
• 5:24
  had
• 5:24
  some
• 5:24
  problems
• 5:24
  with
• 5:24
  Keen?
• 5:25
  Yeah,
• 5:25
  I
• 5:25
  did.
• 5:26
  I
• 5:27
  had
• 5:27
  one
• 5:27
  of
• 5:27
  their
• 5:27
  shoes
• 5:28
  that,
• 5:28
  that
• 5:28
  I
• 5:28
  was
• 5:28
  wearing
• 5:29
  walking
• 5:29
  across
• 5:29
  my
• 5:30
  floor
• 5:30
  and
• 5:30
  I
• 5:30
  stumbled
• 5:31
  a
• 5:31
  little
• 5:31
  bit
• 5:31
  and
• 5:32
  my
• 5:32
  foot
• 5:32
  bent.
• 5:33
  Normally,
• 5:33
  if
• 5:34
  you
• 5:34
  were
• 5:34
  skinning
• 5:34
  down,
• 5:35
  let's
• 5:35
  say
• 5:35
  I
• 5:35
  dropped
• 5:35
  down
• 5:36
  like
• 5:36
  I
• 5:36
  was
• 5:36
  getting
• 5:36
  into
• 5:36
  a
• 5:37
  track
• 5:37
  position.
• 5:38
  Drop
• 5:38
  my
• 5:38
  knee
• 5:38
  down
• 5:40
  on
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  ground
• 5:40
  like
• 5:40
  you
• 5:41
  were
• 5:41
  starting
• 5:41
  off
• 5:41
  in
• 5:41
  a
• 5:41
  track
• 5:42
  position.
• 5:42
  When
• 5:43
  that
• 5:43
  happened,
• 5:43
  it
• 5:43
  dislocated
• 5:44
  my
• 5:44
  toes
• 5:45
  because
• 5:45
  the
• 5:46
  carbon
• 5:46
  fiber
• 5:47
  toe
• 5:48
  that
• 5:49
  pinched
• 5:49
  my
• 5:50
  foot
• 5:50
  and
• 5:50
  dislocated
• 5:51
  toes
• 5:52
  out
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  back
• 5:52
  of
• 5:53
  my
• 5:53
  foot.
• 5:53
  Yeah,
• 5:54
  that
• 5:54
  hurt.
• 5:54
  I
• 5:55
  had
• 5:55
  a
• 5:55
  boot
• 5:56
  and
• 5:56
  there
• 5:57
  was
• 5:57
  a
• 5:57
  lot
• 5:57
  going
• 5:57
  on
• 5:58
  there
• 5:58
  with
• 5:58
  that.
• 5:59
  Did
• 5:59
  Keane
• 6:00
  respond
• 6:00
  when
• 6:01
  I
• 6:01
  came
• 6:01
  back
• 6:01
  to
• 6:01
  him?
• 6:02
  Yeah,
• 6:03
  I
• 6:03
  got
• 6:03
  a
• 6:03
  phone
• 6:03
  call
• 6:04
  after
• 6:04
  I
• 6:04
  called
• 6:05
  up
• 6:05
  my
• 6:05
  rep,
• 6:06
  after
• 6:06
  I
• 6:06
  said,
• 6:07
  why
• 6:07
  aren't
• 6:07
  you
• 6:07
  guys
• 6:07
  even
• 6:08
  look
• 6:08
  into
• 6:08
  this?
• 6:08
  People
• 6:08
  are
• 6:09
  going
• 6:09
  to
• 6:09
  get
• 6:09
  hurt.
• 6:10
  Their
• 6:10
  CEO
• 6:11
  calls
• 6:11
  me,
• 6:11
  had
• 6:12
  a
• 6:12
  Nice
• 6:12
  conversation.
• 6:13
  Only
• 6:14
  because
• 6:14
  they
• 6:14
  knew
• 6:14
  I
• 6:14
  was
• 6:15
  going
• 6:15
  to
• 6:15
  talk
• 6:15
  about
• 6:15
  it
• 6:16
  and
• 6:16
  they
• 6:16
  said
• 6:16
  they'd
• 6:17
  get
• 6:17
  back
• 6:17
  to
• 6:17
  me
• 6:17
  with
• 6:18
  what
• 6:18
  they
• 6:18
  found.
• 6:19
  And
• 6:20
  after
• 6:20
  that
• 6:20
  it
• 6:21
  was
• 6:21
  crickets.
• 6:23
  So
• 6:23
  that's
• 6:24
  my
• 6:24
  problem
• 6:24
  with
• 6:24
  Keen
• 6:25
  Utility.
• 6:25
  In
• 6:26
  full
• 6:26
  disclosure,
• 6:27
  do
• 6:27
  I
• 6:27
  still
• 6:27
  wear
• 6:27
  their
• 6:28
  boots?
• 6:28
  Yeah,
• 6:29
  I
• 6:29
  have
• 6:30
  a
• 6:30
  dozen
• 6:30
  pair
• 6:31
  of
• 6:31
  them.
• 6:32
  Will
• 6:32
  I
• 6:32
  change
• 6:32
  over
• 6:33
  to
• 6:33
  another
• 6:33
  brand
• 6:33
  for
• 6:34
  a
• 6:34
  work
• 6:34
  boot?
• 6:34
  Yeah,
• 6:34
  when
• 6:35
  these
• 6:35
  wear
• 6:36
  out
• 6:36
  and
• 6:36
  they
• 6:36
  get
• 6:37
  replaced.
• 6:37
  You're
• 6:37
  right.
• 6:38
  I'm
• 6:38
  not
• 6:38
  going
• 6:38
  to
• 6:38
  waste
• 6:39
  these
• 6:39
  boots
• 6:39
  because
• 6:40
  these
• 6:40
  boots
• 6:40
  are
• 6:40
  good
• 6:40
  boots.
• 6:42
  Now
• 6:42
  the
• 6:42
  ones
• 6:42
  that
• 6:42
  hurt
• 6:42
  my
• 6:43
  foot,
• 6:43
  yeah,
• 6:43
  I'm
• 6:43
  not
• 6:43
  wearing
• 6:44
  those
• 6:44
  out
• 6:44
  because
• 6:44
  I'm
• 6:44
  not
• 6:45
  going
• 6:45
  to
• 6:45
  do
• 6:45
  it
• 6:45
  again.
• 6:46
  That's
• 6:46
  a
• 6:46
  design
• 6:47
  flaw
• 6:47
  in
• 6:47
  my
• 6:47
  opinion
• 6:48
  and
• 6:48
  I'm
• 6:48
  not
• 6:48
  going
• 6:48
  to
• 6:49
  get
• 6:49
  hurt
• 6:49
  again
• 6:50
  wearing
• 6:50
  that
• 6:51
  same
• 6:51
  shoe
• 6:51
  when
• 6:52
  all
• 6:52
  I
• 6:52
  did
• 6:52
  was
• 6:52
  bend
• 6:53
  over.
• 6:53
  When
• 6:53
  I
• 6:54
  sit
• 6:54
  there
• 6:54
  and
• 6:54
  have
• 6:55
  to
• 6:55
  reach
• 6:55
  down
• 6:55
  to
• 6:55
  get
• 6:55
  something
• 6:56
  or
• 6:56
  if
• 6:56
  I
• 6:57
  stumbled
• 6:57
  again,
• 6:57
  I
• 6:57
  was
• 6:57
  carrying
• 6:58
  a
• 6:58
  two
• 6:58
  by
• 6:58
  six
• 6:59
  and
• 6:59
  I
• 6:59
  tripped
• 7:00
  on
• 7:00
  the
• 7:00
  foot
• 7:00
  of
• 7:00
  a
• 7:00
  table
• 7:01
  saw
• 7:01
  when
• 7:01
  I
• 7:01
  was
• 7:01
  carrying
• 7:01
  it
• 7:01
  through
• 7:02
  the
• 7:02
  shop.
• 7:03
  Simple
• 7:03
  thing.
• 7:04
  But
• 7:04
  the
• 7:05
  bigger
• 7:05
  story
• 7:05
  here
• 7:06
  is
• 7:06
  when
• 7:06
  we
• 7:06
  have
• 7:07
  cities
• 7:07
  like
• 7:07
  Portland,
• 7:09
  which
• 7:09
  I
• 7:09
  don't
• 7:09
  live
• 7:09
  in
• 7:10
  the
• 7:10
  city,
• 7:10
  I
• 7:10
  live
• 7:10
  outside
• 7:11
  of
• 7:11
  a
• 7:11
  much
• 7:11
  more
• 7:12
  sensible
• 7:12
  community.
• 7:13
  When
• 7:14
  we
• 7:14
  see
• 7:15
  the
• 7:15
  crime,
• 7:17
  the
• 7:17
  mismanagement
• 7:19
  of
• 7:19
  city
• 7:19
  resources,
• 7:20
  when
• 7:20
  you
• 7:21
  see
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  people
• 7:23
  frustrated
• 7:24
  trying
• 7:25
  to
• 7:25
  fix
• 7:25
  city
• 7:25
  government
• 7:26
  and
• 7:26
  the
• 7:27
  high
• 7:27
  taxes
• 7:28
  and
• 7:28
  they
• 7:29
  wonder
• 7:29
  why
• 7:29
  people
• 7:30
  like
• 7:30
  Keen
• 7:30
  Utility
• 7:31
  are
• 7:31
  shutting
• 7:31
  down
• 7:31
  and
• 7:32
  going
• 7:32
  to
• 7:32
  a
• 7:32
  place
• 7:33
  that
• 7:33
  has
• 7:33
  much
• 7:33
  more
• 7:34
  sensible
• 7:35
  and
• 7:35
  safer
• 7:36
  places
• 7:36
  for
• 7:37
  their
• 7:37
  people
• 7:37
  to
• 7:37
  work,
• 7:38
  I
• 7:38
  get
• 7:38
  it.
• 7:39
  I
• 7:39
  wake
• 7:39
  up
• 7:40
  this
• 7:40
  morning
• 7:41
  on
• 7:41
  Thursday
• 7:41
  morning
• 7:42
  here
• 7:42
  on
• 7:43
  the
• 7:43
  22nd
• 7:43
  and
• 7:43
  I
• 7:44
  turn
• 7:44
  the
• 7:44
  TV
• 7:44
  on.
• 7:45
  What
• 7:46
  do
• 7:46
  I
• 7:46
  see?
• 7:47
  Yup,
• 7:48
  City
• 7:48
  of
• 7:48
  Portland's
• 7:49
  gonna
• 7:49
  take
• 7:49
  two
• 7:49
  more
• 7:49
  million
• 7:50
  dollars
• 7:50
  out
• 7:50
  of
• 7:50
  the
• 7:50
  police
• 7:51
  budget
• 7:51
  to
• 7:51
  fund
• 7:52
  parks.
• 7:53
  People
• 7:54
  aren't
• 7:54
  going
• 7:54
  to
• 7:54
  the
• 7:54
  parks
• 7:54
  because
• 7:55
  they're
• 7:55
  not
• 7:55
  safe.
• 7:56
  So
• 7:56
  let's
• 7:57
  take
• 7:57
  a
• 7:57
  little
• 7:57
  bit
• 7:57
  more
• 7:58
  money
• 7:58
  out
• 7:58
  of
• 7:58
  the
• 7:58
  police
• 7:58
  department
• 8:00
  and
• 8:00
  put
• 8:00
  people
• 8:00
  in
• 8:01
  the
• 8:01
  parks
• 8:01
  for
• 8:02
  programs
• 8:02
  where
• 8:02
  the
• 8:02
  kids
• 8:03
  could
• 8:03
  be
• 8:03
  at
• 8:03
  risk
• 8:04
  because
• 8:04
  of
• 8:04
  the
• 8:05
  lack
• 8:06
  of
• 8:06
  police
• 8:06
  funding.
• 8:07
  Here's
• 8:08
  my
• 8:08
  little
• 8:08
  rant
• 8:08
  for
• 8:09
  the
• 8:09
  day.
• 8:10
  This
• 8:10
  is
• 8:10
  why
• 8:10
  we
• 8:11
  have
• 8:11
  these
• 8:11
  problems
• 8:12
  in
• 8:12
  cities
• 8:12
  like
• 8:12
  Portland.
• 8:14
  This
• 8:14
  is
• 8:14
  why
• 8:14
  people
• 8:15
  are
• 8:15
  moving
• 8:15
  out
• 8:15
  of
• 8:16
  Portland
• 8:17
  for
• 8:17
  safer
• 8:18
  homes.
• 8:18
  This
• 8:19
  is
• 8:19
  why
• 8:19
  we
• 8:19
  see
• 8:20
  manufacturing
• 8:20
  jobs
• 8:22
  for
• 8:23
  these
• 8:23
  are
• 8:23
  boots
• 8:24
  made
• 8:24
  for
• 8:24
  the
• 8:24
  construction
• 8:25
  worker,
• 8:25
  for
• 8:26
  the
• 8:26
  trades,
• 8:27
  for
• 8:27
  the
• 8:27
  warehouse
• 8:28
  workers,
• 8:28
  the
• 8:28
  restaurant
• 8:29
  workers.
• 8:30
  We've
• 8:30
  got
• 8:30
  some
• 8:31
  serious
• 8:31
  problems
• 8:31
  we
• 8:31
  got
• 8:32
  to
• 8:32
  fix.
• 8:33
  And
• 8:34
  it's
• 8:34
  going
• 8:34
  to
• 8:34
  take
• 8:35
  cities
• 8:35
  like
• 8:36
  Portland
• 8:36
  having
• 8:36
  to
• 8:36
  crash
• 8:37
  and
• 8:37
  burn
• 8:37
  the
• 8:37
  whole
• 8:38
  downtown
• 8:38
  core.
• 8:39
  What
• 8:39
  do
• 8:40
  they
• 8:40
  have
• 8:40
  a
• 8:40
  60%
• 8:41
  occupancy
• 8:41
  rate?
• 8:42
  They
• 8:42
  are
• 8:42
  on
• 8:42
  their
• 8:42
  road
• 8:44
  to
• 8:44
  Detroit
• 8:45
  in
• 8:46
  their
• 8:46
  bad
• 8:46
  day.
• 8:46
  Detroit's
• 8:47
  cleaning
• 8:47
  itself
• 8:47
  up.
• 8:47
  It's
• 8:48
  looking
• 8:48
  really
• 8:48
  good.
• 8:50
  But
• 8:50
  cities
• 8:50
  like
• 8:50
  Portland
• 8:51
  Cities
• 8:51
  like
• 8:51
  Seattle,
• 8:52
  cities
• 8:52
  like
• 8:53
  San
• 8:53
  Francisco
• 8:53
  still
• 8:54
  have
• 8:54
  not
• 8:54
  figured
• 8:55
  out
• 8:56
  that
• 8:56
  what
• 8:56
  they're
• 8:56
  doing
• 8:57
  is
• 8:57
  chasing
• 8:58
  businesses
• 8:58
  away
• 8:58
  and
• 8:59
  it's
• 8:59
  going
• 8:59
  to
• 8:59
  be
• 9:00
  a
• 9:00
  ghost
• 9:01
  town.
• 9:01
  How
• 9:01
  are
• 9:02
  they
• 9:02
  going
• 9:02
  to
• 9:02
  fix
• 9:02
  it?
• 9:03
  Put
• 9:03
  in
• 9:04
  people
• 9:04
  that
• 9:04
  understand
• 9:04
  how
• 9:05
  to
• 9:05
  run
• 9:05
  a
• 9:05
  city,
• 9:06
  people
• 9:06
  that
• 9:07
  put
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  residents
• 9:08
  first,
• 9:08
  not
• 9:08
  their
• 9:09
  social
• 9:09
  programs.
• 9:10
  And
• 9:11
  three,
• 9:12
  they're
• 9:12
  going
• 9:13
  to
• 9:13
  have
• 9:13
  to
• 9:13
  convert
• 9:13
  all
• 9:14
  of
• 9:14
  these
• 9:14
  spaces
• 9:15
  and
• 9:15
  nobody
• 9:15
  wants
• 9:15
  to
• 9:15
  go
• 9:16
  visit
• 9:17
  into
• 9:17
  residential
• 9:18
  housing
• 9:18
  or
• 9:18
  something
• 9:19
  because
• 9:19
  there
• 9:19
  are
• 9:19
  going
• 9:20
  to
• 9:20
  be
• 9:21
  retail
• 9:21
  stores
• 9:22
  everywhere
• 9:23
  that
• 9:23
  are
• 9:23
  empty.
• 9:25
  So
• 9:25
  that's
• 9:25
  going
• 9:25
  to
• 9:25
  create
• 9:27
  maybe
• 9:27
  more
• 9:27
  housing
• 9:28
  needs
• 9:28
  downtown
• 9:29
  and
• 9:29
  maybe
• 9:29
  that'll
• 9:30
  bring
• 9:30
  things
• 9:30
  back.
• 9:31
  But
• 9:31
  these
• 9:31
  are
• 9:31
  some
• 9:32
  of
• 9:32
  the
• 9:32
  problems
• 9:32
  we
• 9:33
  are
• 9:33
  seeing.
• 9:34
  All
• 9:34
  right,
• 9:35
  everybody,
• 9:35
  I'm
• 9:35
  gonna
• 9:35
  let
• 9:36
  you
• 9:36
  go
• 9:36
  on
• 9:36
  this
• 9:36
  update.
• 9:37
  I
• 9:37
  just
• 9:37
  saw
• 9:37
  this
• 9:37
  and
• 9:38
  I
• 9:38
  had
• 9:38
  to
• 9:38
  put
• 9:38
  a
• 9:38
  rant
• 9:39
  out
• 9:39
  because
• 9:40
  I'm
• 9:40
  just
• 9:40
  shaking
• 9:41
  my
• 9:41
  head.
• 9:41
  People
• 9:42
  are
• 9:42
  shocked
• 9:42
  in
• 9:43
  Portland
• 9:43
  and
• 9:44
  I'm
• 9:44
  like,
• 9:45
  we
• 9:45
  all
• 9:45
  saw
• 9:45
  it
• 9:46
  coming.
• 9:47
  It's
• 9:47
  the
• 9:47
  most
• 9:47
  expensive
• 9:48
  place
• 9:48
  to
• 9:48
  do
• 9:48
  business.
• 9:49
  And
• 9:49
  they
• 9:50
  wonder
• 9:50
  why
• 9:50
  they're
• 9:51
  leaving.
• 9:52
  I
• 9:52
  feel
• 9:52
  bad
• 9:52
  for
• 9:52
  the
• 9:53
  residents
• 9:53
  of
• 9:53
  Portland,
• 9:54
  but
• 9:54
  then
• 9:54
  I
• 9:55
  don't.
• 9:56
  The
• 9:56
  people
• 9:56
  of
• 9:56
  Portland
• 9:57
  voted
• 9:57
  in
• 9:58
  what
• 9:59
  they're
• 9:59
  getting.
• 9:59
  This
• 10:00
  is
• 10:00
  what
• 10:00
  they
• 10:00
  asked
• 10:00
  for
• 10:01
  and
• 10:01
  this
• 10:01
  is
• 10:02
  what
• 10:02
  they're
• 10:02
  getting.
• 10:03
  And
• 10:04
  places
• 10:04
  like
• 10:04
  Kentucky,
• 10:05
  places
• 10:05
  like

  adding

  losing

  tax
• 10:18
