ReplyDeleteMissing info: What did it sell for?
ReplyDeleteI think Antonio should change the name to "Mother of Perpetual Motion". It goes more with bike storage.
ReplyDeleteThe home was purchased with grant funds that had remained stagnant for several years and earmarked for homeless resource efforts. There was recently an ad in the newspaper for asbestos abatement for the home advertised as the future Youth Homeless Resource Center/Shelter.

ReplyDeleteIn the western Mexican state of MichoacΓ‘n, Public Safety Secretary Carlos Castellanos Becerra has detained a key member of the Knights Templar cartel who is suspected of kidnapping children and having their organs removed for trafficking.
Plancarte Gaspar was captured along with another man in a stolen car that was carrying cash and meth. Gaspar was an apparent integral member of the organ trafficking ring.
The ring would kidnap children and take them to rented homes with medical equipment where their organs were removed. MichoacΓ‘n is currently the setting for a brutal battle between vigilante fighters, the cartel, and the policing authorities in place, and vigilantes appear to be losing.
Self-defense forces were initially well received by local residents tired of the Knights Templars' extortion, kidnapping and murder, but some businessmen have complained that the armed groups are now extorting them. Drug trafficking—specifically in crystal meth—is no longer the number one source of income for the Knights Templar cartel. According to Mexican officials, the cartel now funds itself through "illegal mining, illegal logging, and extortion." No word on where the harvesting of children's organs fits on that list.
Funds "stagnate for several years", I guess the homeless people were cooling their heels for several years as well. Who gives a shit if money just sits around that could be put beneficial use. Asbestos abatement, that will be cheap. Did the city check to see if the building had "issues" before they purchased it? Who was the previous owner? I would assume the Catholic Church, no? Looks like whomever bought the place may have taken a problem off their books and placed it squarely with the taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteSo, we paid $195,000 for bike storage????? Makes as much sense as other deals by 'Da Mayor, Tony Martinez and his cronies. We know the city doesn't move quickly on any project......so the bikes will likely be infected by asbestos before they can be used again. How much did the city pay for the bikes????
ReplyDeleteWe all have a family member or friend that is, perhaps, of the tinfoil hat-wearing sect -- the kind of dude that thinks that "they" are after "our guns," or perhaps "the government" is simultaneously "communist, fascist and socialist."
ReplyDeleteNow we know why this might all make sense: It turns out that there might be a basic correlation between trust and basic intelligence.
Researchers at Oxford University analyzed data from America's GSS Survey (or General Social Survey), a census that has been analyzing America's population since 1978. The researchers concluded, among other findings, that "Intelligence is shown to be linked with trusting others, even after taking into account factors like marital status, education and income.
"This finding supports what other researchers have argued, namely that being a good judge of character is a distinct part of human intelligence which evolved through natural selection."
How is this not a criminal act?
