Richard Florida defends innovative tech centers across America in Atlantic Monthly magazine

  The recent issue of Atlantic Monthly magazine features a piece from Richard Florida. He is the left Shark's favorite apologist for the new tech and urban takeover of the economy. Richard states that no other country has the number of innovative educational centers like America has from Austin to Boston. Florida sees little future for places like rural Florida and most of what counts are these places venture capitalists throw the money at where they saved from lower taxes from Republican politicians over the years. So instead of the state deciding what part of the economy gets a boost. So these venture capitalists can decide a company that makes game applications and on-line coupons are more deserving of investment than manufacturing which is the most important type of economy for a country. No where does this white prick Florida say that the reason there are so many bright tech ecosystems develop in this country is because of the funding government gives for foreigners to come here and avoid the taxes they would have to pay for their start ups at home. We keep giving them more and more and these people give back America less and less unless you want to count these cushy restaurant and coffee server jobs. Florida fails to see the real reason that these jobs are all going to the cities and leaving the smaller cities is because corporate America has given up on rural areas and energy depletion makes serving these communities too expensive. Richard Florida does have concerns that domestic contradictions pose the real threat to his urban dream where computer related businesses get all of the money to keep their unprofitable ventures going as long as possible. Richard fears that the American people will wake up and realize this scam is skimping their regions from needed help to rebound themselves and prosper.
