♦ Listen up. I’m going to be “Mr. Positive” today about Salisbury’s city hall and their massive sinkhole Fibrant. I’m not going to mention today that some folks employed down in city hall will likely practice their ping pong serves in a State or Federal can catering to white collar criminals. Not today. I will withhold saying that the current Fibrant honcho is spreading manure when he claims that Fibrant hasn’t gone down since 2012. Most of us recall Fibrant’s internet and telephony going down for lengthy periods since 2012 (Although less so recently). Will not say a blessed thing today about the glaring “magic math” appearing in Teresa Harris’s Tuesday “presentation” (No surprise–she was John Sofley’s lackey for years).
I’m going to be “Mr. Positive” today. I’m going to propose that Fibrant follow Google Fiber’s example and bring FREE Gigabit fiber to public housing throughout Salisbury.
For a moment reflect on high-speed internet’s potential effect on Salisbury’s 27.2% folks, Black, White, and Brown, living below poverty’s margins. Think of the vast Alexandrian Library of stimulating, interesting, and invaluable information waiting to impact young and aging minds alike. No buffering on YouTube. Thousands upon thousands of FREE books and information repositories waiting to be discovered. Engaging interests to turn young men and women toward literacy, lifelong pursuits, superior work situations and away from drugs, crime, and other forms of self-destruction. Think of the legacy it would leave our alleged “visionaries” and Mr. Winrich and our noble city manager who got clocked by “Frosty the Snowman” and ended up in a career ending job. Fibrant could claim thousands of new signups (even though they are gratis)! Who pays for this? Consider that taxes are better spent on uplifting young and old folks than on paying for poverty’s very expensive aftermath.
Here is an article on Google Fiber’s initiative for bringing FREE Gigabit Fiber to low income housing:

P.S. I have countless ideas for saving Salisbury from the clutches of the LGC steering the big ship. Mr. Postive would rather see prosperity and than punishment. It’s all up to you. I’ve tossed the ball into your end of the court.
