I haven't gone to any yet, but I'll be attending my 50th next month.

Bonnie Batten

My 50 year is being planned now for 2024. Can't wait to go!

Lynn Bagley King

I enjoy seeing old friends and have attended at least five of them --even helped plan several. However, my husband is also a class member and that makes it even more fun because we both enjoy going home again.

Lisa Dammarell

Always a surprisingly good time.

Bob Pickett

not many, 25th, 50th.

have no reason to go

k san

I live on the other side of the country from my HS. Too expensive to travel that distance just for that.

Pam Ratcliff

Not interested in reliving that part of my life.

Tina Bouthillier

I couldn't wait to leave that hell hole so why on earth would I want to go back?

Tammy Crumpacker

I just never connected with a lot of people in high school but the friends I did have are still my friends now.

Steve Daily

Hated high school. Looking back I'm surprised I survived. Nothing but bitter memories and wouldn't want to relive them 40+years later

Angie Carey

The students had their own cliques, I wasn't one of them even though I wanted to be. But my parents were corporally abusive to me and wasn't allowed any friends. Also was made fun of many times in those years.

I went to three high schools. The third one was an independent study program (like home school). One-on-one with the teacher, not going just to meet teacher and principal. Also, they are expensive. I got teased badly at all my public schools. Not worth it.

rover6rover

Long, long ago, but not recently.

Robert Davidson

There were nearly 1000 students in my graduating class. I knew only a few of them.

Democrats would rather support illegals then American citizens

Wendy glassburn

The democrats want to add to the budget. It’s a CR, you don’t add to it. You open the government and then negotiate the budget.

Steve Baumann

This is the actual correct answer.

Steve Baumann

I'd like to see how many of the democratic votes came from bots

Steve Baumann

Democrats are insisting on concessions related to health care policy (specifically extending Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies) to reopen the government. Republicans argue for a "clean" funding bill without these policy changes.

Max

It's beautiful. Trump is getting rid of the fake workers Biden hired, and AOC will Primary Schumer. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

Max

As every 8th grade Civics student knows, it takes 60 votes to end the Schumer Shutdown. Since we only have 53 Republicans, we must have a handful of Senate Democrats

Max

"No one is so blind as one who will not see" means that a person who is unwilling to accept the truth is more difficult to convince than someone who is physically blind.

Max

Trump is ending wars, getting hostages released, after nearly 2 years, while Schumer is holding the US taxpayers hostage, for free medical care for illegal aliens, while our own citizens have to pay for medical care.

Toasty

Wish I could vote for both. This shutdown is a game both sides are playing. I want to roll up a newspaper and smack 'em both.

Republicans could easily say yes to extending subsidies for Americans and no to the other provisions. If Dems say “no” then it’s on them. Not much compromising is going on.

Steve Baumann

Hand up not hand out.

Kathryn Stayton

They are in charge. Can’t reopen when the House is on a 6 week vacation out of the last 2 months. They won’t come to work. Only a fool could not understand this

Novel Pairings

They control the Presidency, Senate and House, and are holding up a budget that would increase healthcare premiums three-fold for millions of Americans to give the rich tax write-offs. This is all Republican.

Scott Kramer

I don't believe that the ACA causes a significant amount of money to go to healthcare for illegal immigrants

I now own my second hybrid.

k san

If they ever made one that could go longer distances. I have seen only 1 recharging station for such cars at Fred Meyer. To make them attractive, need many more recharging stations. Until then, no thx

Rachel

I love my hybrid <3

Stuart Alpert

Why not?

Joseph Nelson

My next vehicle will be an EV.

Torina Wilson

How about YES!, but it’s too expensive. Therefore, I’ll wait

Kerie Raymond

We have an EV for local & shorter range trips (have gone to Vancourver, WA & Eugene, OR) and a Hybrid for longer range trips. Electricity is $10/month, and nothing once we have PV. No maintenance cost

No, too expensive

Electric vehicles need to be cheaper for me to invest in one. I'm just trying to get from point A to point B on a budget!

Because I want to make that choice being I'm a free individual in the United States of America. Free to make my own choices and not be told by a dictator governor of the State of Oregon. FDKB.

Fred Colbern

Government is already controlling you when you drive. Ever stop at a stoplight? That's some university indoctrinated bureaucrat deciding how long you will be made to sit there and wait for his little technocracy to "turn the light green" so you can go.

George Pearson

No one forced me! I love getting 50 mpg while gas guzzlers are paying my share!

GT Thomas

I do not want a vehicle liberals try to force on me.

Bob A. Bui

Screwing your kids/grandchildren to own the libs? Nice.

George Pearson

No one is forcing you! Watch something else beside Fox for a change, to get a full picture!

poor turtle

I mean I would but they are too expensive. Honestly I would rather to not drive at all and take the bus everywhere but that isn't currently realistic.

Karen Barker Rouse

Can’t imagine it would make long road trips easy.

Kerie Raymond

Not easy, but doable! Worth it in the long run.

Douglas E. Wilson

We are being priced out of everything by so called do gooders!

Robert Northrup

If it would meet my needs yes. Unfortunately there are none currently that can.

Larry Ewart

I recently traveled over 1800 miles by car I cannot imagine how much longer that trip would have taken because of the limited miles that it takes for an EV

Ed Drahos

The answer itself is explanatory enough. It's too expensive. Yet the charging situation isn't set up to be a reasonable solution. This is because the industry is totally out for reoccurring profits to charge for such electric vehicles. You can blame commercialism for this greed.

Latterdaysaint

Waste of money

J H

Because the majority are NOT truly environmentally friendly! Would consider a hybrid.

Christena

I've always wanted a hybrid but having my vehicles paid off it's just not worth it.

dan bob

Although it’s environmentally friendly, it is far too expensive. Perhaps in the future when corporations become competitive in this area and sell vehicles at cheaper prices.

Hugh Jjggh

It’s not that it’s too expensive I just like gas powered cars and I love hearing the engine rev unfortunately kids today will never understand not only what that 3rd pedal is for but also a real car

Heidi Owen

Most people I know cannot afford them, but I'll bet kate brown can....

Kerie Raymond

We were fortunate to buy an EV new with substantial discounts and rebates, credits. $16K for a $34K new car. I don't think it's too expensive.

Ben Wiborg

Expensive or not the power cells are the problem when it come to disposal or manufacture.

Sam Ackerman

NO, I will however buy a vehicle that fits my needs.
