"...behind every worker who is also on the food stamps program is a job creator who isRead More subsidizing the wages he pays by having the taxpayers pay for his some of his employees' food. The former is a moocher. The latter? A brilliant businessman who knows how take full advantage of the American dream." Brilliant Shripathi.

Oh yeah; forgot to mention that the link that John Webb provided under "obligation" (toRead More contribute to the common good" ) was a table of public high school graduation rates; it predictably had nothing to do with the "obligation to contribute to the common good". I suppose that Webb believes that the fulfillment of that "obligation" should be left entirely to the discretion of the individual, who Webb simultaneously encourages to be as greedy as he can get away with. What's wrong with that picture?!?!

I would love to see a great deal more from these Tea Party types like John Webb about theRead More "obligation to contribute to the common good." We hear a great deal about "don't tread on me", but very little about asking: what can I do for my country? From what I've seen, it is practically an article of Tea Party faith that there is "no obligation to contribute to the common good." I'd go so far as to say that they don't really even believe in the "common good"; so why is Webb trying to impute this pernicious attitude to progressives?! Three words John: more Rachel Maddow

Think about how "nutty" are these Liberal Keynesian's with their low interest rate policyRead More and money printing. Low interest rates are wonderful, right? But what this is doing is causing asset inflation in housing, education, health care, autos, etc. I think now on average about 75% of a families income goes to interest payments, (mortgage debt, credit card debt, student loan debt and auto loans), medical insurance and taxes, with just 25% of family income left for all else. And for the lower 50%, it is an even worse reality. That's why the skyrocketing or food stamps, etc. But for the owners of assets: Obama....Obama....Obama.

Hi, hi. I hope the Repugs don't play all these new revelations with their eyes fixed on the nextRead More election.

I hope these small businesses don't support that new monster sized trucking terminal. They are notRead More going to make great friends with the area home owners and schools/hospital if they do.

The mere fact that Nancy Shultz who is an investment officer at ProLogis got quoted in the SunRead More Newspaper (Ted Apodaca had write up) today stating that there are differences between a trucking terminal and a logistics facility. The only difference is WHAT? When you think of a distribution center that brings trucks in you realize it must come in TRUCKS of course, duh. She goes on to be quoted verbatim: “We are going to be consistent with what is already in the neighborhood,” she said. She continues with “There is information that says we are building a truck depot. A depot usually has only little office space an lots of extra land to park for staging.” WELL, I would like to inform her that a truck depot/terminal/Container Freight Station (CFS) is where trucks go to for unloading their consolidated containers. She CAN TRY and change the verbage and I am sure she will, but I ain’t buying it BABE because I work in this industry and I actually know the verbage, no matter how much you twist it. We have truckers coming into the L.A. and Long Beach harbor terminals right now with the word “logistics” in their name and we also know they ARE DROPPING off their containers to customers–YEP–and those customers ARE EVERYWHERE, WHICH INCLUDES HERE. ProLogis, shame on you for pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes. Its not nice to fool NATURE lovers!

Good point CDC on the Los Al Hospital aspect. I didn't write that up because it was the proximityRead More of the site, but now that you mention it--I will include that fact in my next write up. If you wanna read something quite interesting, read up on what they are doing in Carson--- http://ir.prologis.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=658348 Also, the posting today for jobs on www.career-found.com says ProLogis wants people to apply today for Cypress jobs and is hiring right now. Oh really???

Great write-up on the Mitt Romney style property investment company. They have ZERO regard for theRead More people who would be living around this volcano of diesel fumes. You are also 100% percent correct about the roads that will get destroyed due to wear. Tax payers are going to be PAYING EXTRA to have the roads surfaced three times as much while they get to breath the diesel particulate. Nice exchange! Also, you forgot to state that there is a MAJOR hospital four blocks away that needs clear access on roads coming in from Rossmoor and Los Alamitos. HUGE Trucks backed up on our already packed arterial roads are not going to help emergency ambulance calls get to the hospital any faster. I'm sure all the people going to the hospital for cystic fibrosis, emphysema, bronchitis, asthma, COPD, Lung Cancer will love breathing that dirty air. And how many car spaces does a double trailer rig take on the road? 3-4? Our community is going to have China style air quality! Remember that the AQMD nazis want to now prohibit fires in fireplaces thanks to the harbor pollution killing our air quality. Having this site would only make the air worse and push the pollution numbers over the top. PLEASE print the above article out and hand it out and post it for as many people as possible to read.
