Quite the scene at the QT in the early morning. Have mentioned before the busyness of fellows off to work. A sight to behold and an indication of boom time - at least locally. The markets have been good for the vested too but I don't know how it is in other parts of the nation, especially back East and in the Midwest. I do know there's a lot of real investment occurring in Phoenix with regard to 'infill' and redevelopment in the core area. Further development on the expanding perimeter going strong too. Concurrently, the traffic is horrible. Conflicted feelings, as ever.
As I watch the demographic of guys (mostly) coming and going, in my neighborhood they're preponderantly, and I do mean approaching 75%, Latino. Construction workers, tradesmen. Great to see them working. How ironic; after all the immigration controversies, their wages have increased in the demand. Were there competition from further undocumented workers, well, go figure. The nation has always absorbed working people but there comes a point of exploitation of immigrants toward profit motives on the part of developers and industry.
Well, looks like good news to me as I scope that proffered on the Internet. Ridiculous fabrications that used to be pabulum for the National Enquirer. Perversion rampant. The people deserve better but, as always, the market for this idiocy are women. I saw the other day that the publisher of the local rag, which is all booster fluff with nary a insight into reality (website homepage headlining artisan pizza and postmodern booze concoctions) was the travel editor of several newspapers before she commenced her corporate schmooze. Affirmative fakes replicating themselves while essentially exploiting a business made in years past by serious journalists, they're the Donald assassins. Just like checking out at the grocery, scoping who's getting it on with whom in Hollywood, they're to be ignored.
