Oregon Gov. Our businesses want to stay open, listen to them.

Governor Kate Brown
9 mins ·
Small businesses across Oregon want to stay open while keeping their employees and their customers safe. Listen to why they're asking you to #MaskUp4SmallBiz and wear a face covering at their shops, restaurants, breweries, and other independent businesses.

I really appreciate this Governor. She is always having conversation. Most are thinking people here in Oregon. A common goal. Take care of the people and that includes business owners and employees. This is a way to have the conversation respectfully and I see it rub off on the behavior of the community, collectively and even govt employees including our police.

Several times during her press availabilities, Gov. Brown will frankly acknowledge, "I know this is difficult," and "I know you're tired of being cooped up," and say that she feels that way, too. But the way out is the way through. We're all going to have to shoulder a part of the burden together. Not just for ourselves, but for each other.

That's the kind of leadership that would be great to see coming out of the White House. Instead, we get pointless arguments over masks, sidetracked by hare-brained ideas, and pissy little snipes at people and things that displease Needy Amin.

them apart their selfishness putting the minimum wage employee stuck there 8 hours with people like them, putting his health at risk while calling them out for not doing the job they are being paid for.

They made a stance and challenge the Gov.

The next I see is them sitting 6 ft apart, outside on the Gov patio, wearing their damn masks, and her scolding the children saying, people make mistakes. They learn from it.

And those three contrite, lol.

Was an hoot.

These women leaders certainly know how to lead. And they do not cow. Not an iota of cow'ing to.

Little pissants. Women have been dealing with this mentality our lifetime.
