Like it or not, Mayor Sly's priorities are mostly focused on Kansas City's biz community . . .

Sadly, I didn't see fix infrastructure and work harder to curb the murder rate . . .
Mostly just happy talk . . . Thanks to TKC Readers for mentioning this one . . . We'll pull some crazy quotes later or please highlight whatever stands out . . .
Does "entrepreneurship" include fucking the City of Kansas City out of millions or dollars for this stupid assed "toy train" horseshit?? Really?
ReplyDeleteHilarious he chose a guy that lives in Overland Park to co write.
ReplyDeleteWhy would Stangler want to live in Sly's hellhole? Doesn't make sense.

ReplyDeleteI want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father. Chirp! #AngryBirdsStarWars http://angrybirds.
Dane Stangler is the director of research at the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
Nice Kauffman has such high standards. Do they ask you to play angry birds during interviews for their top positions?
ReplyDeleteCities can promote entrepreneurs by giving talented artists a public platform to promote their products to new audiences.
ReplyDeleteCK the city formerly known as KC excels at 'Jobless' Entrepreneurship
ReplyDeleteMr. Stangler earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Truman State University, and a JD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His wife Katie works as a pediatric nurse practitioner at Children’s Mercy Hospital, and they have two boys: Liam, 4, and Gavin, 2.
ReplyDeleteWell woopy freaking doo! Another Lawyer from OP with ties to Sly and a stake in Children's Mercy.
ReplyDeleteAnything else new?
'Jobless' Entrepreneurship
ReplyDeleteLMAO so true!
The lunatics are in charge of the asylum ladies and gentleman.
ReplyDeleteSo Sly is soon to be a freelance writer working for 25 cent a word?
ReplyDeleteSo this is what he was doing I suppose while everyone was trying to run him down to make a statement on all these recent high profile homicides.
ReplyDeleteTrying to meet a writing deadline for Forbes. Goes to show you what his real priorities are.
I'm Sly James Bitch! And now it's YOUR problem!
ReplyDeleteThis article explains why KC, CK whatever the hell it is now ranked #56 in growth.
ReplyDeleteGuess maybe I should give selling g strings on line a shot.
ReplyDeletePut the CK logo on the front.

ReplyDeleteNo, small business really wants to be in KC after 2 or 3 years of paying all the fees and taxes that city hall imposes. Wait until Sly proposes his massive property tax increase. This will be called the Kansas small business development tax when they pickup and move to Kansas.
ReplyDeleteHe could have at least mentioned CK's greatest start up success story.
ReplyDeleteGrill's Sock business.
I can not wait to film a porno on that toy train.
ReplyDeleteThey closed the Cowtown Mailroom. The only thriving spot for small business in the city.
ReplyDeleteProbably most entrepreneurs don't have much interest in operating our of a small midwestern town version of an urban environment with poor basic services, ever-increasing sales and property taxes for pointless glamour projects, and 25% the number of murders of New York City.
ReplyDeleteBut Sly didn't run for mayor; he's there to be popular with the Chamber swells, millenials, and hipsters, with the taxpayers picking up the tab.
A city that works.
Just not for you.
In the Forbes article, did His Honor "the Sly" review CK's success with the Power & Light District?
ReplyDeleteYes, your city too can lose millions every year subsidizing an "entertainment district."
What Cities Can Do to Boost Entrepreneurship
ReplyDeleteIgnore the black side of town and stick with the white side.
Sly James is dead. Great.
ReplyDeleteKill off all the natives and take their land. Import slave labor to do your farming, landscaping and domestic work.
ReplyDeleteWell, Sly does have a one up on all the posters here. He is writing in Forbes and you arent.
ReplyDelete25 cents a word is what they pay.
ReplyDeleteMain dat Sly take a goot pitcher main.
ReplyDeleteWhy he too goo lookin to be a brudder...He really white yall.
God bless the Kaufmann Foundation. Our daughter and son in law have started a small tech company in KC proper (just west of Troost), and they have been very supportive and informative.
ReplyDeleteWe are blessed to have them in KC.
No small business wants to locate to KC (CK) and have it's employees robbed, stabbed, raped or killed by all the fucking niggers.
ReplyDeleteNone of the politicians or civic leaders believe in true entrepreneurship. What they support is crony capitalism where your business is either subsidized or where competitors are kept out.
ReplyDeleteWhat passes for entrepreneurship in KCMO is just more PR types living off governments or nonprofits.
Uh huh! I'd run to KC to open a business so they can pick my pocket and my stockholders could kick my ass to the street.
ReplyDelete8:24 am - Amen.
