Sunday Reading

Allen Johnson's straw man argument for the week;

We told you so: Why (healthy) skepticism is a good thing

http://www.greensboro.com/blogs/thinking_out_loud/we-told-you-so-why-healthy-skepticism-is-a-good/article_69ce5ae1-d22d-5d3b-891e-f559b02b52f9.html


Billy Jones on what Allen Johnson didn't mention;

2015: You Saw It Here First

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2015/12/2015-you-saw-it-here-first.html


No mention by Allen Johnson of the lies told
to make the new performing arts center debt happen;

Who said STPAC construction cost went up and why?

Nancy Vaughan’s $27.7M Lie

https://carolinaundersiege.wordpress.com/2015/12/27/nancy-vaughans-27-7m-lie/


Still no reporting from the News and Record
on STPAC's reported change on the project manager;

Sam Hieb; "The city will serve as project manager and approve all construction and professional service contracts, funding the first $18.5 million in construction and equipment costs."

The News and Record isn't allowed to report
anything that would give readers the impression
Warren Buffett may lose money;

Thursday, January 7, 2016; "Dow's Worst Start To The Year... Ever"

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2016/01/dows-worst-start-to-year-ever.html


Here's another one the News and Record won't report,
as it would hurt Warren Buffett's bottom line,
even though it's a serious problem in Greensboro;

The News and Record isn't allowed to report

for Greensboro's economic elite;

DGI To Get Competition

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2015/12/dgi-to-get-competition.html


Eric Robert on the mayor and DGI;

SIMPLY IRRESPONSIBLE!

"...One chapter alone will be devoted to how the Mayor of my city hired my ex girlfriend's current husband to represent her, even though she was already being represented by the city's entire legal staff and one of the most prominent law firm in the region...

Zack Matheny needs to go and why DGI needs to be replaced!"

The Muted Delight of the Forthcoming Recession

http://economicprism.com/the-muted-delight-of-the-forthcoming-recession/


I had a conversation with a math teacher the other day
concerning the lack of real world knowledge left untaught 
in our 'modern' education system 
which leaves out actual usable information 
that would leave our children better off for having gone to shcool; 

The Maker Spirit

"it’s young adults undergoing remedial vocational training they should have received in high school.

...The sheer magnitude of what these kids don’t know and should frightens me.  Their primary skill beyond texting, beard grooming and swilling IPA consists of flashing a credit card.  While those of us who own homes and run businesses have mastered all manner of skills, these spoiled apartment-dwellers seem mystified by the simplest of things."
