Doesn't this totally contradict the article posted a couple days back how the KC tech scene is an absolute disaster?

ReplyDeleteGood Lord!!
ReplyDeleteHere's Jason Grill again, doing what he seemingly is ALWAYS doing....promoting himself. If Kansas City had a dollar for every time Grill tooted his own horn, we've be flush with cash and giving it away.
The article contributed by Grill to the Huffington Post (they obviously have low standards) is boilerplate convention and tourism type drivel.
Mr. Grill is among the overflowing crowd of politicos/consultants/tax-trough feeders/and bribed media who are much more concerned with attempting to impress non-residents, than taking care of business here in KC for the people who already live here. Imagine there's a ditch that needs to be dug for a local infrastructure project. The wise and practical man would roll up his sleeves and get to work. On the other hand, Mr. Grill and the cheerleading crowd prefer not to get dirty, and assign themselves the task of sending out press releases promising the greatest, most perfect ditch in the world...way better than any ditch in Portland, Austin, or Seattle! After the workers have completed the ditch, Mr. Grill elbows his way to the front and claims credit, adds it to his resume, and sends out more press releases!
Does he make his socks here? Or are they made in China?
ReplyDeleteJezuz the lies and dishonesty never end!
ReplyDeleteThat would be ASIAN "SWEATSHOP" SOCKS!
ReplyDeleteSOCK 101 SYNOPSIS
ReplyDeleteGay guys who obsess over their hair, makeup, and clothes decided to copy an idea that others had already done.
It's pretty much all marketing. Somebody comes up with some designs on a computer, sends them to a Asian factory via computer, Asian textile slaves make and package the product, Sock 101 simply handles order fulfillment (or maybe that's outsourced as well? like Amazon).
End result = customers end up paying high prices for cheap Asian socks, which ironically defeats the whole purpose of why they said they started the company!
