Meanwhile with too few taxes, too much waste and too many wars:
THINGS FALL APART
"Yesterday saw the opening of the stunning new bridge 890ft above the gorge of the Colorado river, linking Arizona with Nevada "
It's funny how that bridge went right to relatively low priced property which skyrocketed in value, which was owned by a certain politician who profited nicely with very little out of pocket investment.
But we accept that political graft is an acceptable part of life, whereas corporate profits are evil.
"But that wasn’t the end of "his" odd land deals. Bullhead City, Arizona, is just across the Colorado River from Nevada. In Bullhead, depending on location (as always in real estate), vacant land can sell for $10,000 to $250,000 per acre. Given this, it is surprising that "he" managed to gain control of 160 acres of vacant land for $10,000."
