There is the “diversity is our strength” trope that seems pervasive among Millennials.
Two things about that are certainly true. First, diversity in and of itself is neither a strength nor a weakness. Yes, having people from many different cultures, ethnicities, and skill sets offers the possibility of getting the best of everything. But no, if those differing people cannot come together around a single moral tradition or at least a unified set of behavioral standards, then diversity will have a negative effect. And quite possibly, a dramatically negative effect.

Oklahoma City has a "1% for Art Ordinance" which requires at least 1% of the construction budget for every public project to be spent on public art.
Is this an unnecessary taxpayer burden that only could be appreciated by a California politician such as Gavin Newsom, or is it the highest and best use of precious taxpayer dollars?
As an example, MAPS 4 has budgeted $38 million for an animal shelter. Why in the world does it make responsible economic sense to require that $380,000 of taxpayer money be expended on artwork for an animal shelter?

Competitive Fee Structure
… but if you are looking for the cheapest fees, or obesssing about your correct pronouns or global warming, you are probably best served by looking elsewhere…
… in addition, due to an extremely busy workload, if it is absolutely critical to have a rapid turnaround in your work & you are inclined to make repeated calls to check on the status, someone else would probably suit you better …
New tax clients are expected to provide copies of their last 3 years of tax returns and provide permission to contact prior accountant to resolve any issues, if necessary.
Regretfully, I am unable to accept new clients who have unfiled prior-year’s tax returns, who are not current with all prior tax obligations, are involved in any marijuana-related business ventures, use marijuana, have any income from gambling, are personal-injury attorneys or copyright or patent trolls. Newly formed businesses are frowned upon as well.
Though not required, supporters of President Donald J. Trump, the National Rifle Association & clients who are cheerful, optimistic and NOT easily offended are generally preferred. Absolutely NO SOCIALISTS allowed beyond the front door, however!
Due to the alleged gang activity and drug dealing at the nearby Chelsea Manor Apts. & 7-11 Convenience Store, I would personally recommend "packing some heat" while in this area (and perhaps Penn Square Mall as well). Some believe the OKC Police Dept. has become wussified and are too intimidated to confront these gangbangers and put them behind bars where they rightfully belong. "Talk on the Street" seems to be that the wussification emanates from an extremely weak & naive Mayor who purportedly suffers from a severe case of "Low T," a weak City Manager, a new, effeminate-looking Police Chief, who refuses to enforce our nation's immigration laws & a Ward 6 Council Girl who took her Oath Of Office using a book on Marxism.
