Some of our SMARTEST AND MOST AWESOME DENIZENS OF THE TKC BLOG COMMUNITY offer a reality check to newsies, pundits and locals who talk about the booming local economy when IN FACT . . . Biz is just as bad as it ever was and the job market continues to suffer. Here's just a bit of financial data that newsies don't report because they're too busy helping their last remaining advertisers sell stuff rather than just brokering space or even trying something more creative.

ReplyDeleteLet's have a vigil. That always helps.
ReplyDeleteTony's KC on business.
ReplyDeleteFrom a jobless suck whose only gift is endless complaining who cites unnamed "denizens" as a source.
Yea, that works.
Could we get some investment tips soon?
How about insights on cardio conditioning?
Or maybe some election predictions from a douche that runs a nightclub?
Transit planning maybe?
Legal interpretations of the constitution?
Relationship advice inspired from pictures of local women so you can generate hits from the cum guy?
20 years from now, some anthropologist will examine the unintended consequences of the internet and correctly identify the collective dysfunction associated with the ability of an out of work basement dweller with an internet connection to actually use up precious oxygen, water, and food.
Now, from Tony and his smell farts guy.......
People need to stop listening to the libtard and chief and his 2 million eight dollar and hour jobs that have helped fix the economy. The truth is a good national economy does not equal better wages, better quality of life or elimination of issue that have still not shaken out since 2008. Anyone who thinks 2008 is old news is a jackass. 45 year olds (and older) still struggle for decent jobs. College kids cant get decent paying work. Corporations, in spite of their demands, don't bring shit to the party. You are still going to pay for insurance, retirement and your own benefits while your employer continues to treat and talk to you like a bastard stepchild.
ReplyDeleteKansas City does not have the leadership to nurture a healthy business environment because the leadership is from a culture that points the finger, accuses, mooches and begs instead of produces. Employees do not want to pay an earnings tax that, via creative accounting, gets wasted. Property owners are tired of paying taxes for things like a school system that hasn't worked in 40 years.
Small business buys the dream and then gets the blood sucked out of them by a city who can not even grasp the impact of projects and decisions that ruin business. If my business investment was on the line there are scores of areas outside the city limits that offer a healthy business environment without dealing with the bureaucracy and pick pockets of KC.
America is not financially well, the deficit has not gone away, China still owns us and not a single bureaucrat or politician has made a move to help heal or guarantee we wont go there again. We still ship tens of thousands of jobs overseas every year. We still manage to have trade deficits with shit holes like Mexico. We still have the balls to watch corporate stocks go up a few percent and then brag up the economy although not a single person in the middle class sees a real gain when other income is factored in.
In the mean time our candidates spend their time playing thumb switch, blowing and going about immigration, racial bullshit and gun control. Good luck citizens. You are on your own.
Only going to get worse. city hall in meltdown mode over news that LA is offering bigincentives to BNIM.
ReplyDeleteGotta love 10:54 comment's DOUCHEBAG analysis!
ReplyDeleteThe KC FED reporting the reality which is bad economic news, turns into TKC spinning negative stories. WTF?
FACT: If the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee had listened to former KC Fed President Tom Hoenig's advice, we wouldn't be in this hess of a mell!!!
Kick them while they're down. Close the soup kitchens and gentrify the old neighborhoods.
