How populist "entrepreneur" Vivek Ramaswamy got rich: 1. Found biotech firm with hedge fund/venture capital $ 2. Buy patent for Alzheimer's drug that had failed 4 trials, raise more $ to take to market 3. Take company public, cash out 4. Drug fails 5th trial, investors wiped out.

A fantastic perspective on the types of new jobs the economy is adding.

@ChrisTest82 @atllandtrust maybe flood plain issues? Google maps suggest creek/culvert (partially underground?) cross the parcel. Would also explain Watershed being involved

@MeshaMainor And the District with highest # of charters also has highest (by far) $/FTE...and definitely not highest performance. 'Shocking'

Georgia school budgets are released —-> see your system ***Note*** Cities are listed after counties. FTE= full time equivalent -> Amount for each “full-time child” enrolled georgiainsights.gadoe.org/Dashboards/Pag…

Just in: Sens. @ossoff and @ReverendWarnock and @RepNikema announce a federal $25M grant to build a 2.2 mile path to link the Beltline with the Lindbergh area — connecting the Beltline trail directly to a MARTA station. #gapol

@julian_bene Hope it doesn't take a 24hr coup to get @ATLStreetsAlive redo

@MeshaMainor @GaHouseHub @GeorgiaHBRO Exactly what part of Georgia healthcare, prisons, or disability services is excellent?

53% of Georgia’s budget or $17.3 BILLION out of $32 BILLION goes to education. 24% or $7.7 BILLION goes to health and human services. Your tax $ pay for prisons, healthcare, disability services, etc. We demand excellence for everything except education - our highest expenditure.

This is such a fascinating idea. Our memory being biased toward positive information (nostalgia) + Our present-focused attention being biased toward negative information (threat) = Our general perception that everything is always getting worse nytimes.com/2023/06/20/opi…

Advice from the richest guy I know: 100% ownership of something substantial is a myth. You can be the captain of a canoe or a part owner of a cruise-liner. The latter is a much better way to travel.

@maggie_a_lee Fancy images on the website...and 12 employees listed on LinkedIn. linkedin.com/company/admare…

@ATLProcurement @ATLParksandRec Is this the final list? One 1 submitted or only 1 submission met the criteria?

@DougShipmanATL @ATLParksandRec @ATLpickleball Where do we find details? Didn’t see it in the budget pot posted online

Not sure if everyone caught it- but last week at the @ATLParksandRec budget hearing the Commissioner confirmed that six brand new Pickel Ball courts will be built in Atlanta this coming year and more to come! I know @ATLpickleball will be there for the opening

@thomaswheatley APC is a de facto tax on affordable housing efforts in Atlanta

Knighthood????!!! Join the best team!! Midtown needs a math teacher for 2023-24. Position posted on the APS HR website. 🏰 Join our STEAM team

@mwgarbett Why the sudden problem tagging people? It’s not ‘council’ it’s @keisha_waites and @councilmanlewis pushing this

Every study: Teen curfews don't reduce violence. Atlanta Council: It's like speed bumps. We don't read that things don't work. We just pass legislation based on things we heard about from years ago. Me: But it doesn't work. Council: Oh, but it gets good coverage!

@atlcouncil @councilmanlewis Ridiculous

📰 "If you violate this curfew twice, we’re going to involve your parents..." - @councilmanlewis The change is meant to inspire parental responsibility and boost participation in development programs Committee passes ordinance to change curfew provisions atlantanewsfirst.com/2023/06/12/com…

@ChrisMu67512385 @atlurbanist In many cities (especially anywhere with snow) the property owner is responsible for sidewalks, they get the most value from them and are in the best position to maintain; expecting the city to take it on is/was ridiculous

@atlurbanist Atlanta property owners are responsible for their sidewalks. Obviously, that strategy has not worked well. But, the law(s) would have to be changed. Which also means a large increase in taxes- review your property tax bill to see how little the City takes vs APS, for instance

Anyone ever think it's weird that billions of dollars have been made by movies that were filmed in Atlanta, with our public streets blocked for many film shoots, and yet we don't have enough money to fund a functional DOT or maintain sidewalks?

Quick review of MAGA Twitter suggests that Hillary should have been sent to jail first; the entire Biden Crime Family sent second; and the indictment of Donald Trump is illegitimate because only a 3rd World Banana Republic would permit a prosecution of its political opponents.
