My hometown was ruined by special interests, they built a prison right in the middle of my hometown and they called it "job creation" and a bunch of ignorant meatheads were over-paid to be prison guards, it is all bullshit, we should not have let it happen. Then they moved in low class people from the worst areas to my hometown, so now they have a prison and a bunch of scummy people.
My hometown was an educated and classy area, we built the Space Shuttles, and the U2, and the B 1 Bomber, and the Stealth Bomber, etc, we had educated and classy people in the desert, and my hometown was like a resort like Palm Springs, I grew up in a house with a swimming pool and it was nice. I had beautiful women to come over and swim, it was great. We had low crime, it was nice.
My hometown had smart people, they should have built a new medical school, and they could have trained doctors, and they could build a research hospital to search for a cure for cancer, etc. That would have been positive growth.
And building a new movie studio is job creation, a lot of people love to film in the desert, and the desert could use a new state of the art movie studio. AVC could train people to work at the new studio.
And they used to build Camaros in Van Nuys, they could open a new factory in Van Nuys building electric Corvettes, etc, that would be good job creation.
Special interests will put all of the money into hiring cops and building prisons and into security, that is what happens, the police unions, etc, are lobbying for all of the funds. So, we need for Kiwanis International and others to lobby for the children, and communities need to fight to get healthy growth. If you let special interests take over then all of the money is going to go to cops and prisons. While the foreign companies buy everything and while the Americans become homeless in their own hometowns.
Salute,
