Cage-free eggs will allow lots of sensitive upper middle class young women to finally let go of that exquisite source of vicarious suffering and focus on tending other neuroses in ways that will ultimately make regular people’s lives worse.
Am I the only person almost embarrassed to admit I live in Oregon? Does anyone else ever clarify that, even though they do live here, they aren’t a radical idiot?
Progressives are dreamers, love to "reimagine," and have unlimited power to try to make reality fit their ever-changing theologies. What they cannot seem to do is actually make a government run--at least for the benefit of the average mope who's paying taxes (which is something that non-profits and developers don't). There are no built-in limits to progressivism, no guard rails (since nothing is "right" or "wrong"--just power-plays), and no citizenry smart enough to change the trajectory of decline.
That leads national players--from the Humane Society to George Soros--to find Oregon an easy target: avaricious pols with no ethical boundaries, collapsing media, dumb voters. Perfect!
Jeff, thanks for an astute and amusing piece on the folly of the Oregon legislature. Laws like this assures that we retain our national reputation as the silliest state.

Oregon used to be an agricultural state. Now it's just a Funny Farm.

I am always amazed at our progressive brethren's willingness to add costs to those least able to afford it to further their own virtue cred.
Terrific report, Jeff.
