This is a case fiction being carried out in real life...

In Atlas Shrugged, John Galt invented a revolutionary engine working for a car company...

The company went under when the owners decided shared prosperity was most important...

The devised a pay scale that paid employees more depending on their level of need and ability to produce...

Those that needed a lot and were less productive were paid more and those who actually produced were paid less, the result was company bankruptcy...

This will happen in Portland, the port will turn into a cesspool after being sold off to people who have no idea run a profitable venture..

As I understand it, the Port of Portland is already in decline. Many of the domestic industries it served are disappearing, and with our major trade imbalance there are legitimate reasons to question whether a port like this should even exist anymore. With so much import cargo moving through U.S. ports to destinations in the Midwest and Northeast, some of these West Coast port cities are deciding that the nuisance and aggravation exceed the value of the declining economic benefits.

It’s sort of like having a major airport in a location where the nearest hotels and restaurants are 20 miles away. Sooner or later, the voters in the town where the airport is located are going to figure out that it isn’t worth the hassle of hosting an airport anymore.
