Something needs to be done since people are so stubborn and selfish, if they see it or not. It's a terrible disease with possible lifetime implications known and unknown. I think this point hasn't been drilled into most people's heads.

I cannot understand some people who go about carelessly, no masks, no social distancing, etc. Consider though: lockdowns have harm as well. If you lose your job, are you selfish? Your means to support family? Suicide? Depression? Education loss in students? I have seen all these happen first hand

All for it! This surge is worse than it has EVER been. It's people getting lax or having never cared that are keeping us from getting ahead of this virus. And don't get me started on idiots who think a mask if "violating their rights." Puleez! That is the height of ignorance and partisanship.

So many of us now work from home, I'm OK with it if it will help decrease Covid in our communities and families.

Queen Brown has forgotten that she is a servant of the people. These mandates are just glorified suggestions, not laws. Kate Brown, and no other governor has the authority to override our constitutional rights. The purpose of the Bill of Rights was to prevent tyrants like these from controlling us.

You do not have any alternative ideas ,do you? I doubt it since you didn't offer any. Just a sniveling, comment. And if that's the best you can do, then you're totally irrelevant.

Lockdowns and "freezes" have shown to only postpone, not "cure" viral spread. Although I support not overwhelming hospitals, lockdowns are not the answer. Even Dr. Fauci and WHO have come out against lockdowns. Brown needs to listen to science, not the media pressure to "look" in control.

There are better ways to handle this than a shutdown. Many have been affected in a negative way by the previous shutdowns - depression, family issues, etc.

My wife and I own a very small business and are barely getting by now. These new restrictions could finish us and we have no safety net. America the concept is dead. They rigged an election and politicized the virus to assist them. What's left?

Brown will go down as the worst Governor in Oregon's history. She is out of line, hurting many more people, this shutdown will not help anything but it will hurt a lot of people already hurting, this is so WRONG on so many levels. I had to cancel a trip, but I feel for all the food service people.

You cannot take away our freedom! Our natural immunity takes care of us! Not the government, and public officials! You cannot do this to America! But the sad part about this! We have allowed the insane agenda driven officials to decide our future! Stand up!

100 people die every day in Oregon. Only 6 people died of COVID in the last 2 days out of 200 deaths. And for this we destroy businesses and lives. I am 78 are you all insane?

The governor cannot use executive orders to essentially suspend the U.S. Constitution. Law enforcement has an oath and duty to the U.S constitution foremost, over what any authority figure tells them to try and enforce if it violates (the constitution). I urge business owners to take a stand.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
