Profits are good.

Without them, there are no jobs, no sevices, no schools, no aerial trams.

Portland and Oregon has to learn this, and internalize it. Start to LIKE private enterprise, like Freightliner.

Freightliner makes the Sprinter, which is selling spectacularly. I wonder how much heavier their sales mix would lean to the West Coast if California allowed the registration of light diesels?

If I was providing good jobs that generated the taxes that kept Oregon running, and it sued me, why would I want to stay? If my employees were being taxed to support unionized government employees who were providing a national laughingstock of an education while bleeding state coffers, why would I make them stay here?

If I produced a vehicle that ran on internal combustion in a town whose bureacracy is openly hostile to internal combustion, why would I stay?

Let's learn to appreciate profits, private enterprise, and the good it does for our community.

An economy of non-profits, goverment, and subsidized companies is unsustainable.

Repeat after me:

Private profits are a beautiful thing.
Private profits are a beautiful thing.
Private profits are a beautiful thing...
