I'm assuming the doubting Thomases have a housing glut in mind. Or perhaps they aren't familiar with the city's rise.

Also assuming you are talking about Lincoln Park and that you are relatively young?

Regardless, congratulations on the purchase. You'll be just fine so long as you have a steady and sufficient income stream. There's no way real estate values in this city are going down anytime soon.

Of course we do Monroe. That's because the billionaires are billionaires at the expense of the poor.

And no, they aren't "stepping up" in order to "help" or because of some altruistic motive. They are stepping up to profit. Don't you see that?

And no Monroe, we don't want money to do what we want to do. We want fairness and equity in public education, so that ALL kids have a shot at the big time, not just those that live in wealthy districts.


Score, that's what the Abbott program is supposed to do-JC has received BILLIONS OF DOLLARS provided by the tax earners in NJ to the detriment of their own families. And the existing system has squandered it, failed, and has abrogated their right to control their own destiny.

And while you rail against the earners re:education, what say you about the 'intellectual elite' that run our nations universities? Almost all are ideologically liberal, yet the cost of college has risen so much faster than inflation as to make higher education either unaffordable EXCEPT for the wealthy, or saddles those without wealthy families to take out huge college loans.

Yet the universities pay their leaders huge salaries with incredible perks, professors are very well paid, great pensions, often for tiny classroom duties, course curriculums are often unrelated to real life employment, and the looney mindset leads to suppression on campus of opposing views.

Where's the outrage? Why do the liberal elite scheme to make college unaffordable for the middle and lower class, while they enjoy cushy jobs in idyllic campus settings?


Alright, some good points. And agreed, the cost of a college education is just outrageous, even at public universities as was talked about in the excellent documentary "Inside Job."

It is my contention that we as a society are increasingly divided along class lines, as opposed to say, race. It is known to the dominate elite that a divided society is easier to manipulate; that it is more pliable and capable of being molded to suit the interests of the dominant 1 percent.

My call is one that seeks to unite the oppressed, which I define as anyone not part of the elite. When the oppressed are united, liberation is then possible. Otherwise, the dominant elite will plunder further. The people become subjects or objects, used and dominated to carry out the dominant objective, which is capital accumulation. So, the people then are subjects, they are viewed as pawns or tools to be used by the dominant and they cease to be viewed as human.

This system is inhumane. The good news however is that it isn't tenable.

Hmmm. I wonder how kids in JC will benefit from an imposed curriculum designed to benefit the economic elite. For starters, we have at issue the dominant elite modality of "cultural invasion," wherein, public schools now become fiefdoms for hedge fund billionaires looking to mint good corporate Americans, as opposed to Americans.

Second, there exists the dominant elite modality of "conquest." Once in the door, the no strings attached clause goes out the window. Now we have curriculum designed to support a socioeconomic system as opposed to one dedicated to education.

And lastly, there is the dominant elite modality of "manipulation," wherein the societal forces intended to protect the citizenry have been purchased and paid for by the dominant elite, as is the current case with the Jersey City BOE members whose campaigns were financed or at least aided by these so called "reform" minded billionaires.

Wow, what a great benefit to the kids of Jersey City, lol. The business of education is about education and not about churning out good corporate Americans.

Re: Billionaires Boost Schools In Jersey City

What is up with Ron Greco, president of the Jersey City Education Association? Where are all my "in the know" people?

His statements yesterday of "condemnation" as reported in the press are utterly feckless, completely lacking in force and weight. Nowhere near strong enough in terms of opposition to the dominant elite. What's worse, it reveals that he himself doesn't have a firm grasp on the issues associated with educational "reform." And this is an outright tragedy. Do we have, in Greco, a Jersey City version of Elba Esther Gordillo? He needs to be hooked off stage swiftly and replaced with a fresh and forceful Marxian thinker who sees this assault for what it is, a money grab under the pernicious auspices of neo liberal capitalism.

I ask: who would you rather have running the school system? A private corporate entity, led by "businessmen" who have not one ounce of classroom teaching experience in Abbot districts like JC, or the community of parents, activists and teachers?

There is no altruistic motive with these billionaires, like Davey "Brass Balls" Tepper. They need to churn out graduates who have just enough of an education to operate a cash registrar or serve in some other menial capacity. Shame on the BOE! Purchased and paid for at the expense of the community and the most importantly, the community's kids. makes me sic to see this happen, but the level of apathy when it comes to BOE elections has to abate. More people must become involved and vote the right people into office, as opposed to those associated and funded by hedge fund billionaires.

Here, Tepper is holding his brass balls. Speaks volumes as to the sort of character we are talking about.

Very true FAB!

Not only is it listed on the New York Stock Exchange, it is a DOW component (meaning, it is one of the 30 most capitalized corporations in the land.) So, of course, their obligation is to the SHAREHOLDER and not the employee.

It is a disgusting, repulsive and repugnant symbol of capitalism, and by extension, America, land of the "free," lol.

And, I couldn't agree more with the idea that it manipulates employees and the public into thinking it is somehow a benevolent and good influence upon society.

I am not at all in favor of capital punishment since most all violent crime in America is rooted deep within its socioeconomic structure. But, before we fly off the handle, let's just consider the fact that I am simply saying I am opposed to capital punishment.

HOWEVER, there is ONE exception I allow for. That would be for the execution of an American CEO, making a salary of 9.5 million (and God knows how much in stock options) coming out today and saying this:

McDonald's offers ?real careers? and ?competitive wages?, CEO Don Thompson told shareholders on Thursday, as hundreds of protesters chanted for better pay outside the fast-food giant?s annual meeting.

As demonstrators staged a second day of protests against the company?s wage scale outside the company?s suburban Chicago headquarters, Thompson told shareholders: "We believe we pay fair and competitive wages.?

?I know we have people outside,? said Thompson. ?I think that McDonald?s provides more opportunity than any other company ? We continue to believe that we pay fair and competitive wages,? he said.


Go to Hell Donald Thompson. It's time NOW for a public beheading!

if people want "living wages", then they should get proper full time jobs (and perhaps start with a proper education first, too).


Lol, we see this argument all the time and it is in my opinion just ludicrous. It is so goody two shoes, make me want to puke!

First, our people need JOBS and our country's civic duty is to take of the citizenry, not the corporate elite.

Second, this corporation's stock price has QUINTUPLED since 2003. Who here among us here is seeing any profit from that?

Third, this corporation IS BEING SUBSIDIZED BY TAXPAYERS since so many of its employees are forced to apply for governmental benefits.

Lastly, this argument assumes the fallacy that one can simply bootstrap their way to a better life, which has already been debunked by many pundits many times over. There is a transaction earlier in this thread that has already addressed and debunked this tired, old argument.

Please.

That is how it is painted by capitalist propagandists, who purport to draw a lesson from the example of Rockefeller?whether or not it is true?about the possibilities of success. The amount of poverty and suffering required for the emergence of a Rockefeller, and the amount of depravity that the accumulation of a fortune of such magnitude entails, are left out of the picture, and it is not always possible to make the people in general see this."

And you're ignoring the great work they do with their Ronald McDonald houses for families of ill children. Zero?? Nonsense.

Helping a sick child fight their illness takes a big enough emotional toll on a family. Adding a financial strain can make it all almost too much to bear. RMHC can help address those problems, whether they involve housing that?s near a hospitalized child, the expense of staying together in another city, or even getting basic medical and dental care in a vulnerable community. These programs can be found in more than 290 local Chapters in 58 countries and regions:
?338 Ronald McDonald Houses
?196 Ronald McDonald Family Rooms
?50 Ronald McDonald Care Mobiles
?Grants to non-profit organizations that also focus on the needs of children
?Scholarships to students across the United States
?Chapters around the world creating country-specific programs

Since 1974, RMHC has helped address these needs every day, with nearly 144,000 volunteers and staff members, our connections with medical communities around the world, partnerships with respected companies and our generous donors. We couldn't do it without all of you.


Oh puleeese. Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors. Of course they act charitably. Pick up a copy of Paulo Freire's "Pedagogy Of the Oppressed" and learn some about how the dominant elite operate. The RMHC is a classic case of manipulation. What gets manipulated is the public's perception. Placing humanity over profits is anathema to modern day AMERICAN corporations.

Capitalism isn't equitable. Those who achieve, invest, create jobs and make goods reap the rewards. When that European instant messaging group was sold for, what, 11 billion and it had 40 employees-yes, they all became very rich. And it didn't cost you or me a dime.

Why don't you ask George Soros, Al Gore, the Hollywood elite in their private jets, Jay Z, the Clintons, to all give some of their billions to augment the wages, rather than expect me to pay double for a box of McNuggets? They can afford it more than me. It's that the socialist way, to all according to their need?

Don't hold your breath waiting for any of them to do it, though.


Well, I said three of those four things, yes. As to the one you missed, the last one, I was referring to corporate lobbyists who essentially buy congress. Regardless, I am not clear at all on what humors you.

And thanks for pointing out that capitalism isn't equitable, as if I was oblivious to this fact, lol. Did you ever stop to consider that you essentially ARE paying double for a box of McNuggets (yuk) as it is now? When fast food workers are FORCED to apply for government benefits, like food stamps, we the taxpayers foot the bill. So, in essence, the American taxpayer is subsidizing fast food corporations while all the while, these very same corporations are raising CEO pay (while keeping worker's pay stagnant) and are recording RECORD PROFITS year after year.

How crazy is that?

Re: IN THE BATTLE FOR NEWARK, FEARS OF BECOMING THE NEXT DETROIT

Wow, that's a power packed article. Interesting 2012 movie called "Detropia" for those looking to glimpse the Detroit of today.

Jeffries strikes me as a neoliberal capitalist who is in full support of the status quo in terms of the current day socioeconomic structure. Clear the way for less government and wall street takeovers, privatization of city services and of its schools. Clear the way for corporate dominance, so that every inner-city kid gets just enough of an education to operate a cash register in order to support the current need for menial wage earners. Cory Booker, with his big money cheerleaders like Oprah Winfrey, really ran a number on Newark. Newark Watershed Conservation & Development Corp? Holy smokes!

Now, Baraka, he seems like he might not be the great unifier in terms of race, but as far as CLASS goes, here's a guy who's looking to reign in the "wilding" capitalists from making drones of us all.

So, please don't read this if your net worth, excluding any property(s) you might own of course, is in excess of two million dollars. But if your current net worth, like mine, is less than this amount, then read on because we're all fucked.

As a nation, we really got to take a closer look at the Communist Manifesto! Why do we have such incredibly high numbers of infant mortality, drug abuse, alcoholism, gun violence, mental illness, teen pregnancy, domestic abuse, corporate malfeasance (like planned obsolescence) and the myriad of other socially destructive forces EMBEDDED into our society? Incarceration rates? Just google and look at the charts, lol. High School drop out rates? Capitalist America was cool up until Reagan deregulated the airlines. Most like minded people will point to the Reagan-Thatcher era as the time when all this neoliberal thinking started taking hold. And boy did it ever. The Statue of Liberty doesn't symbolize corporate rights to cause a financial crisis, nor does it symbolize the right to engage in predatory lending practices!

I am quite certain that most disagree with my sentiment. But ultimately -- and I don't know when -- the way this plays out is revolution and seizure of the military ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE. Might be ten, twenty or a hundred years from now, but trust me, this capitalist society WILL fall. And here's why:

INHUMANITY

So long as the deck is stacked in favor of the few, there will always exist inhumanity. The dominant forces -- those who control the economic capital -- will do whatever they must in order to secure their hegemony. They will divide us, invade our culture (so that we conform to their's) manipulate us and conquer us so that we are the pliant, docile little menial workers who carry out the status quo. So, the only way out into the light is necessarily through violence. See the movie "Snowpiercer" to get a good look about the type of society we have become.

Call me crazy, but to borrow from a billboard ad I saw a few weeks ago in the city -- THE FRENCH ARISTOCRACY DIDN'T SEE IT COMING EITHER.

Right, the sanctity of the investigation is paramount, I do agree but uh, can there at least be a statement made by Director Shea and/or the Mayor? Just a simple "we're on it" will do. There is no apparent sense of urgency. At least, nothing in the press.

She (or ?he?) queries of me: ?mind rephrasing? or some such nonsense, as if there is some ambiguity to the formulation of English words presented to her (or "him.")

Like an APARTHEID wall on the Israeli West Bank, in order to preserve the status quo at the expense of humanity. In this person?s mind, there is apparently a ?marketing 101? sensibility. A mind that is all too mindful of MONEY.

My guess is that a local High School kid laid this out just a few short hours after the news story broke on nj.com. What an unbelievable turnaround! No doubt way better than those who ascribe to the money institutions offering courses like ?marketing 101" and whose sole mission is to preserve the status quo, ie, Harvard Business School, Columbia Business School and all other "business" schools.

Ah yes, Nick Mason and his ROYALTIES. Interesting to note however, how prescient the forty year old lyrics to one of the best selling albums of all time are!

Don't shoot the messenger.

Glad we are in agreement. Now, let's incite not just the homeless, but the entire country. Nutjob that I am. Violence is mandatory when attempting to wrest the oppressors from their ill gotten wealth.

And yes, it IS "ill gotten." Not through any "hard work," or "discipline" nonsense. To borrow from a thirty plus year old Pink Floyd tune:

"I'm all right Jack keep your hands off my stack.
Money it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet."
