You know what, Todd. I NEVER wanted to believe how corrupt this city was. Growing up, I would hear things from adults and wonder how they could call this beautiful city corrupt. I thought to myself, it looks good, there are lots of things to do, everything seems to be working fine.


Then, as I got older, started paying more attention to the media, paid taxes, heard the stories from the cops who deal with the bullshit every day, it started to sink in more. I still didnt want to believe it, but it was making more sense to me.

Then, in the last year, my eyes are open and Im outraged. But, its probably too late. If we dont get Republican leadership in this city FAST, its done. The middle class cant keep dealing with this shit over here, unless they are blind and apathetic to the corruption. I totally get a little bit of nepotism, or getting some contracts here and there to people who donate to campaigns. But the extent that they have gone here, to ensure that the parasites of this city get anything and everything that they want, so that they continue to keep voting these corrupt people to office, is so utterly fucked up that it took me out of a political moratorium (again, hate politics with a passion and usually dont give a shit). I dont even care really what political line a person is (Dem or Repub). I just want something POSITIVE to get done. In this liberal democratic city, we fail again and again and again. Crime wins.


Varys, I tried to go easy on the caps lock. Not sure if it has the "OOMPH" I was looking for, but if it is less annoying, I'll work on it

Have you been paying attention at all? The Republican party is openly trying to eliminate the middle class. They advocate a small wealthy(1%) ruling class and an entire population of slave labor(99%). That's why The Donald and all other Republicans want to eliminate or lower the minimum wage. If the minimum wage was $15 an hour Tyrone would get a fuckin job until you figure that out, deal with it.

Ya that worked out great in Seattle ... oh wait nvm it was massive failure lol. <3 libtards

And this shit in Chicago is what's wrong with America. Years ago county SS told ex and I to have a kid we could ill afford to get food stamp help. We were trying to make it on one income at the time and end up Chp 7 by middle of that next year. Really have a kid you can't afford. Talk about stupid logic.

Side note I am alive. Had emergency admit to hospital over weekend when i lost all feeling from chest down very briefly. Home now and still in holding pattern but have some meds for pain nausea and the lovely addition of my stomach not wanting to empty properly due to possible nerve impingement issues. Apparently a lot of surgeons don't Wanna deal with WC which has caused some issues. I have phone call with lawyer tomorrow to discuss options to force WC to agree now to cover reasonable and appropriate medical care due to this weekends issue. I'm mostly just watching and reading the forum as I'm on limited activity with orders for bed rest when pain starts up to avoid complications per my primary MD. Hard to post anyway my left arm and hand doesn't wanna cooperated at times and I can't trust Siri to dictate shit properly. Rolfmao.

The USA is possibly the most corrupt nation on earth. The true scale is disguised by the standard measures being ones that emphasise the kind of blatant corruption that is rife in bongo bongo land rather than the more sophisticated corruption in "advanced economies".
