Vaguely localist
Vaguely localist thought after comparing Spokane with Ponca in previous item.
Ponca benefitted from Conoco for nearly 100 years, and served Conoco well in return. Conoco finally betrayed Ponca a few years ago, but the betrayal was extremely late compared to most corporate treason.
Spokane benefitted from Henry Kaiser for many years. He was born here and started his sand and cement business here, and later brought part of his aluminum business here to use the cheap energy from the dams he built.
Spokane did NOT serve Kaiser well. It failed to build a highway to the aluminum plant until 2000 when the plant was already dead.
More recently the alleged "city" dysgovernment has been ruining its own streets and killing its own people because it fails to use
on the streets, and fails to use concrete IN the streets. Concrete tolerates freezing and thawing VASTLY better than asphalt. All new repaving is soft bubble-gum asphalt, which crunches and cracks in a few years.
Dishonoring the founder is repaid with death.
