Intel has just announced 669 layoffs — making it nearly 3,000 Oregon employees that have been laid of by Intel.
Oregon Governor Tina Kotek’s $4.3 billion gas tax will tax the unemployed every time they go to a job interview. Oregon’s jobless will be making a lot of trips to job interviews because Oregon ranks among the worst states to find a job.
Kotek’s gas tax will increase the price of every grocery item they buy as it increases delivery costs. This tax creates more misery for an already miserable situation.
