More bad Memphis news...

ne state performance, anyway. A Cato Institute study analyzing tax burdens for America’s 100 largest metros reported that the ten lowest-taxed regions saw triple the population increases of the ten highest-taxed from 1980 to 2007. The connection between freedom and growth even explains differences for metros within the same state. Last year Memphis, with a business climate ranking last in Tennessee, had one-third the job growth of booming, pro-business Nashville. In another study calculating economic freedom in U.S. metros, economist Dean Stansel pointed to similar explanations for the growth of San Jose over Los Angeles and Tampa over Miami.

AT&T cell phone plan explanation

Went to AT&T store in Collierville today (2012-11-20) to ask why I am getting texts from AT&T saying I'm going over data limit.  I got new Galaxy 3s phone about a week ago.  Lady there said my data plan was very old and so low (200 MB) that they don't even offer it anymore.  She said I could switch to a 3GB plan for an extra $15 per month which I did.  I was paying $60 for talk minutes + $20 for texting + $15 for data = $95 total.  Now I will be paying  $60 for talk minutes + $20 for texting + $30 for data = $110 total. If I want to go back to a lower data plan, I can go back to the lowest currently offered plan which is 300 MB.  That would be $20 per month, so I would only save $10 per month for a MUCH lower amount of data.

Floorcovering

30-March-2012  Ann said that Anthony Borroughs did carpet in 485 E South St #103 for $1200.  It was 100 yards, so that's $12 per yard or $1.33 per foot.  That's labor AND carpet. 

I talked to Cindy Hunkus at Home Depot today about the fake wood looking vinyl strip flooring (with no sponge backing that might absorb water - just plain vinyl) and she said price for material was around $1.75 per foot and probably $2 per foot to install.  That's a total installed price of $3.75 per foot.
