Kansas City pushes back vote on controversial downtown data center - Kansas City Business Journal

A Miami preservation fund will make its case as to why council should let it tear down a historic building for a data center.

Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

Read that Star article about Drastic Measures/Wild Child's abusive partner and the associated Reddit thread about shitty bar and restaurant owners/managers in KC metro, and now I never want to dine out again. (Plus, it's as expensive as hell these days.)

Journalists and editors who publish the sports owners' B.S. without questioning it aren't journalists--they're lazy propaganda distributors. And yes, too many "news" outlets just pass the B.S. along without a second thought.

So much work by my colleagues went into this. (To be clear I did absolutely none of that work, but saying "so much work by my colleagues went into this" is an old trick that makes people think you must have been really helpful. Keep that one in mind for when you need it)

Does your college football roster cost $8M or $50M? Here's our report on 68 teams (Gift Article)

The best teams are, on average, the ones paying players the most, but there's a wide disparity between the schools at the top and the bottom of major conferences.

I guess Mitch McConnell AND the Kansas City Chiefs can claim that the reports of their death have been greatly exaggerated.

McConnell assured everyone he has been following current events, and expressed his condolences for the families of those lost in the recent Challenger Space Shuttle disaster, and stated he was eager to look into the latest scandal that is being called the Iran-Contra Affair.

KC approved spending $185m to expand the Current's 2-year-old stadium, which Fox4KC reported as "funded by revenue generated by the stadium and surrounding development." That's wrong: It'll be funded by sales taxes, most probably not new to K.C. at all.

One irony of building great cities is that the amount of space dedicated to automobiles must decrease in proportion to the population increase. This fundamental reality is lost on so many city dwellers in the US that it majorly stalls progress.
