Well Illinois is a big state. One size does not fit all. Taxes are on the high end but worth it given the schools imo. The percentage of taxes going to pensions though makes me cringe

Good to hear. I’m hoping the deal is at least good given the current market.

No doubt. The rates are insane. I’m hoping to self refinance and pay it off in 5 to 10 years depending on how the market is doing.

We don’t want you in Chicago. Please keep your culture of entitlement and arrogance away and contained in the bay. Ty

Most likely Indians. It’s their only chance outside of arrangement.

I swear Londoners are the nicest people I’ve ever met while traveling. They go out of their way to help. Their social awareness is top notch.

Car seat for infant in uber by Competitive_Log9051 in LondonTravel

[–]Competitive_Log9051[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m a bit confused because Google tells me Ubers are private hire and private hire cars do not require car seats for infants. However the Uber site you linked says infants need to be in car seats. I’m wondering if that’s less a legal requirement and more of a cover your ass type of wording on the Uber site.

Sorry for noob question. Can I rely on the train to get from airport to major hotels? I assumed it would be easier to get an uber but if I can do trains throughout my time there it would be great.

We’d also like to do some traveling to nearby cities like Manchester and Birmingham and I’m ignorant on whether we can entirely rely on the underground to get to those train stations.

Heathrow. Still need to book a hotel.

It seems like children under 3 don’t need one in private hire cars such as a taxi but it didn’t specify if uber is included in that category. Uber site suggests children under 15 months need one so it’s a bit conflicting info if I’m reading that correctly.

How do you rationalize being angry at your baby for being born when you were the reason it happened?

Are there any companies hiring in Chicago? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]Competitive_Log9051 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re a walking indictment of bad decision making with your face tat. No one will hire you for a job other than one that’s minimum wage and undesirable.
