"Noted poverty expert and sociology professor Barbara J. Peters (Southampton College, Long Island University) has studied the incorporated and entirely resident-owned Basque town of Mondragón, Spain. "In Mondragón, I saw no signs of poverty. I saw no signs of extreme wealth," Peters said. "I saw people looking out for each other…..It's a caring form of capitalism.”[1]"
But no, our "leaders" would rather build empty, taxpayer funded megasites 30 miles away in Randolph County and force Greensboro's working class to leave Greensboro to find jobs. It's as if they want us to just up and go away.
