Yeah…it’s just ‘capitalism’ when the Cons drive hospitals to close but BY GOD AND BY TRUMP it’s bailout time when their ‘buddies’ fail.

well it makes me want to visit now

The voters will never know. The local news dares not report the story.

The horror that 4 months in Trump is “finally coming to grips” is more than one should be able to image.

If only the world knew of some system where everyone had the cost of their healthcare covered perhaps there would be enough business to keep these rural hospitals functioning.

We like to keep Eastern Washington alive since they do a lot of farming over there. Their politics suck but we just keep poking at them…

Yeah…that won’t happen…they will insist dammit that it’s all those godless libruls from the Western side of the state (you know, the ones that pay for their roads, etc.) that came over and GAVE it to them. It’s the land of Cathy McMorris Rodgers although there is a more moderate Republican representing Yakima…

Into the weeds here. You wanna know what really pisses me off (not really, of course), but cresting the hill eastbound of Vantage and seeing crops being watered in the middle of the day with overhead sprinklers in 90-degree heat and the almost constant 10mph + wind. Then there are all the open irrigation canals and ditches throughout the CBRP. The amount of water that gets wasted . . . .

It would take too much effort to disinfect.

It’s their GOD GIVEN RIGHT to ‘waste water’ over on that side of the state…doncha’ know?

I’m from Portland and I did not know that. Learn something new everyday!

Maybe we’d actually get an answer if a different John Roberts would ask that question…Then again…Ah Nevermind.

Well then here’s something to wrap your brain around: Pullman is also the Dry Pea and Lentil Capital of the World!

Yeah that’s it!

Yakima is hardly what I would call a rural city. It’s a bustling city I saw the last time we drove through there and stopped to get something to eat. It’s definitely surrounded by rural areas, but by itself, it’s not rural. At all.

No worries. Infrastructure week is just around the corner.
