Served Cold

The people at Santolina development and their local mascots must have a screw loose.  Now that we know they are behind funding for ads that call the front runner Mayoral Candidate Tim Keller a protector of pedophiles, there will be a reckoning.

Really, how stupid can this corporate operation be?  If Tim Keller is elected do you think maybe Santolina's development plans might run into some obstacles.  I have been a Mayor.  I can sit here and think of about a thousand ways to stop this immense sprawl development on Albuquerque's West Side.  I plan on calling the new Mayor, no matter who, and possibly point out some dozens of studies that should be done before one shovel is put into the ground.


At the very least Santolina has shown themselves to very sophomoric.  Why would we want them building anything anywhere near our city?

“The interesting thing about the New Albion [publicity company] was that it was so completely modern in spirit. There was hardly a soul in the firm who was not perfectly well aware that publicity – advertising – is the dirtiest ramp that capitalism has yet produced. In the red lead firm there had still lingered certain notions of commercial honour and usefulness. But such things would have been laughed at in the New Albion. Most of the employees were the hard-boiled, Americanized, go-getting type to whom nothing in the world is sacred, except money. They had their cynical code worked out. The public are swine; advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill-bucket. And yet beneath their cynicism there was the final naivete, the blind worship of the money-god.” George Orwell, “Keep the Aspidistra Flying” (1936) https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/o/orwell/george/o79k/chapter3.html
