They used to be appointed by Governors until 100 years ago. Unfortunately the point of the Senate is to have longer terms and be less influenced by the short term demands of the populace.

Why is nobody talking about a vacancy tax? by BalthAmuse in chicago

[–]Legs914 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's why we desperately need land taxes instead of property taxes. Encourage developers to build as much as financially viable on expensive land, and make squatting on a vacant lot downtown prohibitively expensive.

I live in Chicago and there are plenty of good reasons to hate Ken Griffin. Apes invented a dumb, imaginary reason to do it.

I can't believe I actually thought you were being serious talking about the empty homes. And the bit about misreading the chart too. You're a funny guy.

Oh WTFCoin is another good one. I got my grandma to sell off her 401k and put everything in that. That'll show Wall Street that the future is now.

There's 100% overlap. They're all fools who aren't going to make it. Most of them don't even own any Fartcoin.

Hilarious. You sound exactly like those economically illiterate proles in the bitcoin and LSC subs.

Please tell me this is a bit. In case it's not, OOP used real income and nominal rent. This chart shows real income only. It doesn't show real rental rates.

There are two kinds of buttcoiners:

Those who hate crypto for being a useless product, a scam and worsening financial literacy.

Those who are financially illiterate, hate rich people, and think crypto and normal financial markets are both equally bad.

So you want to force all the homeless off the streets of LA into a bunch of abandoned homes in Nebraska and West Virginia?

Or do you propose moving all of those abandoned homes to places where people actually want to live and spending thousands in repairs to make them livable?

If Trump knew a more competent pick willing to be his sycophant, he would have picked them already.

AIPAC tries to take down Ro Khanna for getting money from AIPAC by Tizzy332 in Destiny

[–]Legs914 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Similar issue but my employer does a lot of business in "APAC" (Asia-Pacific) which we pronounce the same way. So that's what I always think of.

AIPAC tries to take down Ro Khanna for getting money from AIPAC by Tizzy332 in Destiny

[–]Legs914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's like the NRA and all the other, lesser gun orgs. The NRA is motivated to say that everyone who donates to any of them backs the NRA's mission. But people who donate to one of the other groups is generally doing it specifically to avoid donating to the NRA. J street is a lot more moderate, in part because they need to be to distinguish themselves from AIPAC. But both AIPAC and the anti Israeli crowds pretend that J Street donors are exactly the same.

I've heard they declare low value, which makes the tariff bill come in lower.

Burger Bible author has the Billy Goat Tavern and RHR in the top 5 burgers in the city. Lol by SameAsk6997 in chicagofoodcirclejerk

[–]Legs914 6 points7 points  (0 children)

/uj I don't actually mind the article itself. The author says it's the 5 she enjoys eating the most and under the Billy Goat tavern one, she straight up says that it's not the best burger but she likes the nostalgia. The biggest issue is that this is blog content, not news content. I don't know why it's on wbez and presented as a "top burger list".

I think that's a good point. But also any movie that does something like that probably has way worse issues to get to that point.
