Portland, Oregon (PDX) Starter Pack List & Additions (employment, taxes)

[Juxtaposition109]

I have a list below from when I lived in PDX, however what else would you add to a standard Portland, Oregon starter pack? Yes, this is some humor. Thank you

1. Subaru Car
2. Heart in Oregon Sticker for Subaru
3. Bicycle
4. Something in reference to Powell's Books
5. Something in reference to coffee
6. Something local sticker
7. Anti-California views
8. Anti-Self pumping Gas views
9. Vegan/Veganism intent and outspoken views in regards to it
10. Emotional response to this list of a starting pack
11. Slow driver in said Subaru that has a "Heart in Oregon" sticker
12. A "We're just laid back" auto set response to being slow in either physical or mental response to work
13. A "I like the rain b/c it keeps everything green" auto set saying
14. A "PDX is only an hour from the coast and Mt. Hood" auto setting
15. A "Celebrate Diversity" sticker for already mentioned a lot Subaru
16. Set of protest ready signs in the back of Subaru w/ Heart in Oregon and Celebrate Diversity sticker
17. An auto set response to get very defensive at any criticism of PDX, even if it's only meant in humor
18. An auto set response of "You just have to wait for summer, the summers are spectacular"!

That's all I can think of at the moment, and that's why I need your help to complete this starter pack.

You forgot a "Keep Portland weird" bumper sticker.

Your #8 is interesting. Never encountered anti-self-gas pumping views!

Oh, you would if you had to pump gas in the rain. ; )

Self-pump gas was marketed as a way to decrease the cost of gas. Each time it was proposed state-wide the numbers were set out to show that, adjusting for gas taxes, self pumps did not save the customer money. A few have claimed it saves time but as one who lived in WA for several years, I assure you it is not a time saver. Self pump gas is available at remote communities.

Another advantage of gas attendants is that it provides employment for those with few skills. They don't earn much but it is a job after all.

Oh yes, we do have a Suburu but no bumper stickers.

Yes, sports... soccer, to be exact. Add to the PDX starter pack some kind of regalia
bearing the name of one of the local FCs - the Timbers or the Thorns.

Columbia vest
Something in reference to Sasquatch

You forgot the BLM sign in back window.

You lived in the airport? Wonders will never cease!

I'm sorry I forgot the "Keep Portland Weird" sticker. My mistake there. I'll make sure to add a note about the sasquatch sticker. The BLM must have shown up after I left town, but I still remember there was always some sort of protest for something going on. There was never an endgame in sight, always something to protest. I always wanted to get a group of people together to go protesting against protesting, however; no one seemed to have enough of a sense of humor for it

So very true. I forgot about the Road Warrior kids you see everywhere.
