Out of curiosity, what is the "silly turnstiles thing"? I don't have access to the Business Journal.dbInSouthCity wrote: ↑Jul 01, 2020$450,000,000 thats how much they're getting from locals and the state to create 3,200 jobs...thats the headline and the story
There is also nothing wrong with his comments (other than the silly turnstiles thing, which is just never going to happen because it costs too much to add it now instead of 20 years ago and BTW Charlotte has no turnstiles either) his comments about state leadership are spot on- the governor is a dumbass who couldnt lead the blind.

Well-said! They are sounding more and more like a “Hardee’s 2.0” if you remember that situation.chriss752 wrote: ↑Jul 02, 2020^It's all a game to get more incentive money.
Pieces of sh*t at Centene. Promising to build this huge complex, gets all of these incentives then builds one office building and two gigantic (and ugly) parking garages while cancelling the auditorium and residential components of their project. Then, to rub it in, they propose a shack of a welcome center to say "we still care". No. Go away. If you can't fulfill your commitment and have to look elsewhere, then don't trash our city because you already know you're set in your ways of moving the HQ in so many years because you just scammed your way to the fullest extent to get incentives for a false mega project and the backlash from that is clear.
And then to say that St. Louis can't attract talent for "X, Y, Z reasons" is crap. Square is moving here. Accenture is moving here. Bunge is moving here. Benson Hill is expanding here. And several companies are setting up sizable operations here (Commerce Bank, Equifax). If Centene can't see that these other businesses are doing that, then clearly Centene is in the wrong here with their approach to hiring people. If they feel they can get a better group of people working for them in Charlotte, fine but they no longer have my support for screwing our region over during this time when we are changing direction.

Not downtown. Not Cortex. Not Clayton.

It sounds like he touches on some important and relevant points. Great. I hope it moves the region forward. One negative interview does not = the blues leaving and the city imploding. My god people.
