Opinions: Art Gensler

Art Gensler died.

In 1978, Art Gensler designed the Mercantile for me, an update of a former dance hall/bowling alley across from the beach in Capitola Village. I had lunch with him at University Club then later in 2018. Wonderful man. Huge talent. A great people person. “Call me Art” he always said.

RE: Biden’s latest diversity nomination

I wrote this on May 10, 2021.

Biden, Harris, Obama, Sanders, Warren ruining the economy. He praises “not” individual achievement. His tax policies along with taxing states leave individuals 45% of what they make.  Incentive killer.

His border disruption is dangerous and will hurt people.

His fostering of cancel, virtue signaling suppression of speech, frightening. Watch inflation 4-6%. It’s been long under 2%.  Watch unemployment at low end with new migrants and minimum wage. Watch depreciation of our military.  God forbid.  Safe space and diversity replace hiring the best and speaking out.
