  • that seemed like a job that literally only existed to give some people a job

    That is exactly what it’s for, and it prevents a lot of worse problems just by existing. It significantly reduces crime rates by allowing people who otherwise couldn’t earn income, and provides a way for ex-cons to successfully reintegrate into society and not relapse, as well as providing low/no skill labor. It gives some a sense of purpose - retirees who physically can’t do any other work for example and need something to do.

    It is literally there to give people jobs and its a good thing.



  • Salem’s not at the northern border. You still have the distance of portland to go, or at least driving around it, and even that can take a while.

    From border to border, Organic Maps estimates 5 hours and 20 minutes, which does not include traffic.

    I did run the calculation from salem to sacramento though, and i was off by about double. Its 16 hours to southern california (ive done the drive), but to sacramento, its only 8. I own that mistake, I don’t travel to california much and mistook the trip I took for the distance i was thinking about.





  • On the west coast, it can take 8 (EDITED) hours to drive from the capital of oregon to the capital of california. Likewise, it takes about 14 to 16 to get from oregon to montana. It can take 4 to 6 hours to get from the southern oregon border to the northern.

    Where I live, i can walk to a little convenience store in about 10 minutes, but the nearest supermarket would be an hour walk away (10-15 minutes by car). If i were to move 10 miles in any direction, i may not have a convenience store around.
