After months of mostly-peaceful protests, The Oregonian is reporting that insurers are telling businesses they’re mostly on their own and that they will no longer cover businesses in downtown Portland:
The Oregonian ~ Insurers balk at covering Portland businesses; brokers say downtown upheaval has made carriers wary.
WOW ... imagine THAT?! Who could of possibly seen THAT coming, eh?

Mary Mooney ~ This is terrible. The poor merchants.
It’s going to get worse, too:
Ryan Chittum ~ The repercussions of 7 months of madness here in Portland — tacitly or explicitly supported by elected officials and much of the citizenry — have only just begun. Anyone thinking about investing a cent here has another, entirely negative factor to ponder now.
Get woke, go broke:
Andrew Follett ~ When a town gets woke, it goes broke!
