Fall of Communism, Rise of Phoenix Sprawl

Post by mnaz » March 22nd, 2018, 2:59 am

Bill Gates loves it in Phoenix.
He wants to build more golf courses,
more tracts named Whispering Sands,
faux fountains burbling in blazing heat,
forty miles out in diamondback desert,
with their own freeway to Las Vegas.
There is no water there,
but that doesn't matter.

Thanks saw... Sorry, I should probably post some of this stuff elsewhere, as editorials ... "Inspired" by a piece about the "world's most unsustainable cities" (Phoenix #1!) Unsustainable? That sure as hell won't stop Moneybags from overbuilding the shit out of the place. I was surprised to see Bill in on this game. Seems a bit out of character for him...

The fall of communism
was also a good excuse to
penetrate, plunder & profit.
The three p's of freedom.
Let it ring!
