ATLANTA — A huge announcement was made by Microsoft on Thursday that will impact not only the whole state of Georgia, but particularly the west side of Atlanta.

The tech giant bought 90 acres of land in the Bellwood Quarry area to develop a new campus.

Quarry Yards is located in a rapidly developing area near the Atlanta Beltline path -- a new 280-acre westside park and the Bankhead MARTA rail station. Content Continues Below

The project also includes three new data centers.

“We’re not here to ask what Atlanta can do for Microsoft. Today is all about a different question: What can we at Microsoft do to help everyone in Atlanta?” said Brad Smith, president of Microsoft.

Smith joined Gov. Brian Kemp and Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms Thursday to announce the tech giant bought the land to not only create the Microsoft campus, but housing, offices and shops as well.

We better start or it’s over. It might be already. I thought the last president was going to be president trump but I thought 2024 not 2020.

Beggars and Vlad
Vlad tepes invited all those who were sick, poor and homeless to his palace where he had organized a big party full of food and wine. He then during the middle of his party had stopped and asked them: “Would like to have no more worries and be happy?” Too which his guests replied in as one: “Yes, Your Majesty!”
Vlad the Impaler then left the room and ordered the windows and doors be shut and the house to be set on fire. Outside those who heard the cries and screams were horrified and Vlad said: “I did this so that they would no longer be a burden to anyone. I freed them, so that they would no longer have to suffer in this world of poverty or of any helplessness. “

Well ... not to be a conspiracy theorist but NOW we know why Kemp didn't object to the last election and why they refuse to audit the paper ballots.

In addition, make that contract IRON CLAD because The Lazy M purchased a new campus near Issaquah, WA called "The Highlands." Got a new on-ramp to the 90 highway built and an entire "Village" installed with everything from million dollar mansions to section 8 hud housing and retail. Once the housing and retail had started ... Microsoft pulled out. Left it to sit fallow. A hospital eventually bought some of the land, and a few developers but most of it is still vacant. No Tax revenue, no jobs, no nuffin!
