Quick Take: Neighborhood Association Meeting on the Migrant Resource Center

Resident: “If they’re only here for 24-48 hours, why should they go anywhere (roaming neighborhoods, streets, etc.) anyway?”SAFD Deputy Chief/Emergency Management: “(Among other things) some of them don’t like the cold meal service.” That was a notable takeaway from the Shearer Hills/Ridgeview Neighborhood Association meeting last night focused on the Migrant Resource Center.

It’s Not Much, But It’s Honest Work: Scooping and Cleansing the Mainstream Media

This week’s story in the San Antonio Express-News about Jeremy Jacob’s Evolve and Float (credit Infusiast Tiffany Witham for this one) marks the FOURTH time this year … AT LEAST … that we’ve either scooped them, or cleansed their pages of errors, inadequacies, or the like. That’s not to mention the same we’ve done to…

Looks Like Human Trafficking IS a Big Concern After All

As many of you know, we had a notable presence at the “Crime on the Northside” townhall last week: our VP Denise Gutierrez-Homer, Outreach Liaison Suzie Bayne, Editor and Policy Director Chris Baecker, and Special Needs Outreach Director Connie Aescht. Suzie’s husband Mel and new Infusiast Maria Galaviz were there as well. Also present in…

Polls Are Irrelevant When Human Rights Are Concerned

Two-thirds of Americans support raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations. A similar number feel the same way about the minimum wage, and even moreso about mandating paid sick leave. In related news, 0% of those poll figures matter. The same applies to all the polls regarding support for banning “assault” weapons, creating a registry…

“State of the City,” State of Confusion

Some of us are sticklers for words. “Grammar Nazis,” if you will. Oftentimes the situation is inconsequential and therefore not worth harping on. Sometimes, you expect more from the source. Still yet other times, you wonder if there’s a degree of calculation involved. When San Antonio mayor Ron Nirenberg delivered his “State of the City”…

InfuseSA in the Community: Evolve, Float

This week we’d like to give a shout-out to Evolve Human Optimization Labs over at Embassy Oaks near Bitters and 281. Their stated mission is “creating an accessible center for people to biohack wellness, recovery, and better performance into their daily lives.” What is “biohacking?” It’s a variety of things. Evolve’s “cognitive and neurotraining” tests…

Fact-checking the Fact-checkers: Gas Prices

Many things in the economy are misunderstood, and the price of oil/gas is no exception. The only thing worse than the media peddling half-truths and falsehoods, is when their ‘fact-checking’ suffers from the same ignorance with a dash of bias. And so it is with the San Antonio Express-News, syndicating from the Houston Chronicle this…

There, Lori makes all natural bath and body items, hand-made jewelry and crosses, gem stone trees, and a large selection of rocks. They also sell sterling…

Manipulating Seniors and Holding Us All Hostage from the Commanding Heights of the Dais

Bribing seniors does not help the labor shortage The city has lost touch with productive citizens Homeowners should take advantage of flexible, political principles The City of San Antonio (CoSA) wants to change that by offering seniors a break on their property taxes. While total elimination of this odious tax is the best idea, any…

Progress. Perspective. Push.

The results of yesterday’s San Antonio bond election are disappointing for those of us who value freedom. We are not totally free when our property is subject to an annual tax. It incentivizes us away from saving and investing for not only our future, but that of our children and community in general. Make no…
