Tragedy. There's a Romona statue nearby.
This is definitely the darkest timeline. Chronically online neurodivergent from PDX. Overeducated and opinionated.

With O'Neill (apparently) taking over CDC (if they ever get around to firing Monarez), I think it's worth looking back to Project 2025 and asking what they actually intend to *do* to CDC. So, I went to remind myself today. Here's what's in store:

It's not an objective fact that they've left because of this tax. And the 2025 estimates show an increase over last year. One problem they've identified is with fewer people having kids. No what helps with that? Preschool for All.

And a lot of the slow growth (because we are estimated to be growing again this year) is because people aren't having kids at the same rate. That's not a rich people moving problem. That's a general affordability problem. Something we could help with... Preschool for All.

Cool. Now break it down by specifically how many of them were specifically subject to this tax. The problem with jumping in on some other city's politics is that we've already had this discussion and googled the answers.
