San Diego Fire Department Alarms
Fire chief Javier Mainar didn't agree. "The majority of deaths that occur in America occur in single-family dwellings at nighttime when people are sleeping and most vulnerable. To suggest turning off those resources simply because the call volume is low does not make for good policy.... Fires may only be three-and-a-half percent of calls, but for that three-and-a-half percent, that call is the only one that matters to them." ==================== Another loser GED Firewhiner who thinks money grows on trees and the roads are paved with gold. Tell FireDork if he wants a full crew on grave yard he needs to get the compensation for their GED jobs in line with GED jobs in the real world, no more $200K comp packages, that would solve the problem b/c it is a fiscal problem, nothing more. You cannot staff at decent levels when you are comping these employees twice what the jobs is worth and 4 times what you could get people to do it for in the open and free market.— February 18, 2011 5:27 p.m.
Bridgepoint: Bad for Students, Good for Gamblers?
We the tax payers actually pay for people in non-profit state schools through BOTH student loans and subsidizes. All I am saying is that there is no difference. ============= No, there are major differences. 1) unqualified students are ot accepted at CSU or UC schools 2) Most graduate CSU or UC 3) Public schools, especially here on the graduate level are subsidized next to nothing today, only undergrad 4) the education you receive actually has value at a public school, UC, CSU and even an AA from a CC. Not so at diploma mills like Bridgepoint I will repeat, the SMALL, next to NOTHING value these diploma mills give is outweighed 10K to 1 harm and financial damage they do to the student and taxpayers. . . . Bridgepoint is a perfect example of capitalism, ================ No it is not-it is in fact the wrost case and it is not even capitalism, it is communism. They are defrauding the taxpayers through the student loan system. The default rate-the true default rate not the 2 year co hort rate the DoE uses-is over 75% at diploma mills like Bridgepoint. You cannot con me straw man, I know this stuff inside out, more than you and more than about 99.999999999999% of Americans. You want the true drfault rates on a diploma mills like Bridgepoint, Goggle Erin Dillon at Education Sector in DC, read her research. . . . I think people should have the choice to make money... even Bridgepoint. ============= LOL @ "make money"..yeah right. I bet you think Bernie Madoff and Enron were just "making money" too.......Fraud is not "making money", it is scamming. You would fit in real good with the public employee unions who claim that GED employees are worth $200K comp packages...... You are for sure a Bridgepoint sock puppet, there is no doubt about that.— February 18, 2011 5:22 p.m.
What Redevelopment REALLY Looks Like
And just so you know an affordable housing banal condo starts at $270,000 per the Reese Carter website. Doesn't that seem a bit high in this market? === I have seen this scene repeated over and over and over and over again-times 1000- in gov. at every level. Who remembers the $160 MILLION San Marcos trash recycle plant??? Gov should NOT be involved in "affordable housing",it is not affordable and the fraud in it is like all other gov boondoggles.— February 18, 2011 2:09 p.m.

I agree with you History-100%, I think Taibbi says essentially the exact same thing too.— February 18, 2011 2:04 p.m.

It isn't just Bridgepoint students stumbling over grammar. I had people working for me with Master's degrees in journalism from Columbia who made similar mistakes. ============ That is why the blue chip, white shoe law firms have numerous proof readers employed-that is their only job, proof reading, so there are no typos.— February 18, 2011 1:46 p.m.

Bridgepoint: Bad for Students, Good for Gamblers?
YOU'RE part of that awesome club. Why don't you respond now or did I spell something wrong? ================= Come on, that was classic, I had to call you on it. But the fact is you're (oh man , almost made the same mistake!) a sock puppet/gimmick account/straw man for Bridgepoint, I know that much!— February 18, 2011 1:39 p.m.

Taibbi's writings are well crafted abeit biased, and I enjoy reading them, although he's usually wrong, he's a nice guy. He does play very fast and loose with the facts. ============= Baloney, he is the one guy who will tell it straight.— February 18, 2011 9:21 a.m.
