Mckinney texas is famous for being that place where a white cop beat up a black girl for letting black children use a public pool. The city's largest employer is Raytheon. Only 8.5% of the population of McKinney was below the poverty level in 2010, or just 11,145 people. If the 62.8 million dollars was instead given to them, it's unlikely they would have found any real use for the $5,634.81 apiece because poor people are bad with money and lazy.
You may be thinking that this is old news, but you're wrong. You're probably thinking of the city of Allen, Texas, population 84,246, which already had a 60 million dollar high school football stadium seating 18,000. That's a completely different place. The two cities are separated by approximately zero miles, as they are immediately adjacent to each other in the suburbs of dallas.
It's also possible that you are confusing this with Katy, Texas, population 14,661, which is finalizing its own 62.5 million dollar stadium for high school football.
"At current rates they will net around £170,000 a year from letting their 28 one-bed apartments, the latest of which were bought last month, to young professionals."
that's not that much money for the blairs, tony has a net worth of 60 million USD, so this is probably some kind of philanthropic gesture. maybe he's looking to sort out some of the numerous shanty towns popping up around the place

Today's Young Adults Too Lazy To Sleep, Eat, Leave 24-Hour Standing Position Required To Pay For Rent & Food
A 2014 U.S. survey, conducted by Braun Research, found that 82 per cent of parents said they were asked to do chores as children. But when they were asked if they required their children to do chores, only 28 per cent of them said yes.
Is a generational shift in how families raise their kids turning even the most mundane of responsibilities, like doing the dishes, into unthinkable nuisances?
lol, could be or it could be that completing 3-4 hours of homework a night is currently perceived in the United States as slightly more officially important to your kid's future earning power than whether you make them do chores or not.

An Israeli start-up says it can take one look at a person’s face and realize character traits that are undetectable to the human eye.
“One can most easily tell a Jew by his nose. The Jewish nose is bent at its point. It looks like the number six. We call it the 'Jewish six',” said Faception chief executive Shai Gilboa. “Many Jews are bow-legged and flat-footed. They often have a low, slanting forehead, a receding forehead. Many criminals have such a receding forehead. The Jews are criminals too. Jews often have an unpleasant sweetish odor. If you have a good nose, you can smell the Jews.”

i also didn't even notice that the source for the story is Mintel, which is a stats-for-hire outfit that pushes outlandish claims about trends in consumer buying, like they recently did some shit for the liquor companies where they claimed to discover that more young adults drink whiskey in the u.s. than drink beer, coke and pepsi combined or something. so this one was probably to sell shakes or bars etc.
There's a kind of comfortable regularity to it, like watching the tide rolling in and out.
The only real problem is that americans tend to export the consequences. That, and millions of tons of topsoil blown out of the midwest into the mississippi river from industrial monoculture farms, are the only material export production we're capable of anymore.

misanthropy is not as provincial as you seem to think. the poison we unjustifiably blow over the ocean lands atop cowards and wifebeaters
