Bloomberg report on TV, what do you think
 
This is the Bloomberg report on TV, very interesting. What you your thoughts on it. I think that there is no problem with someone making money if they create a value for others. IE Microsoft, Apple, Etc

This surfaced on TOTV right after it hit the air, its beern around a while. I did enjoy reading some of the comments, though they are about a month old. Many written by villagers, just as many not.

Nothing wrong with Senior Disneylands, where golf is the major activity.

The reporter claims "He (Morse) controls every single facet of life in The Villages". Funny, when I am there I don't realize my life is being controlled. Maybe that is because I am still a snowbird and a wannabe. Once I buy my home there they will afix the electrodes, or maybe the marionette strings - do they do that at closing?

No, it's much more subtle than electrodes or strings. More like brain washing.

A chip is implanted when you get your ID card. It really wasn't painful.

I have no problem with Mr. Morse making money or being a billionaire, however I do feel the CDD boards should be elected by residents after the initial offering and transparency should always be the rule. If true a CDD paid 60 million for assets that only cost 7.5 million, I believe that to be a rip-off and higher payments for residents than necessary. It one thing to make an honest profit and another to take advantage of people.

i understand that they are working on a do-it-yourself chip implant kit which may be available soon to those who opt to close by mail! ;)
