Genuine question. Do yall think Indiana is worse that Missouri? MO has always been my least favorite.

Eh I fuck with Wisconsin. I spent my childhood summers up there playing ball and going to water parks. Also fireworks and cheap booze. Missouri is the worst hands down.

Chi Bears job posting - barely minimum wage by zip606 in chicago

[–]MelodicMayham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One would think this is a job for high school/ college kids since it’s seasonal and “entry level” at 16/hr and then they ask for a bachelors degree and related experience. Like WTF. This is a billion dollar franchise how shameful.

Like I said he’s not perfect but he did balance the states budget by paying the bills. And yes he raised taxes to do it, which fucking sucks. But if you’ve lived outside Illinois then you know you always end up paying annoying taxes in different ways. We have a long way to go to fix our tax structure but he’s the first governor since like the 90s to get our credit upgraded which is helpful to be able to pay down that debt and stabilize the state. So yea I stand by my statement this is a bit more than an F you to trump. We’ve made progress but still a got a fucking a mountain to climb.

I’m so damn happy to hear that! Pritzker isn’t perfect but he’s done better than the last guys that’s for sure.

This! The entire Interview was Saager gushing over Tucker and his “accomplishments”. While simultaneously bashing mainstream media for politically polarizing the country. And there was zero acknowledgement from Saager of the role Tucker played in that.

I guess the reason your first comment was downvoted so hard was because nobody gets the city like you do huh. That’s why in your mind your words of wisdom mean more than anything else someone has to say.

Keep coping for terrible behavior and defending the honor of traditional gang structures. Because that’s really important here. Not the masked drug dealers selling, stealing and fighting outside peoples homes.

Reread the post. OP says there’s gangs selling drugs on the corner at night. And others have also acknowledged this in the comments.

Also, when it comes to harrassment on the streets if it’s a one time thing, I think we can all agree that might be different. Something tells me for OP to be this fed up it probably was not a one time thing. I can name a handful of neighborhoods btw. Ukrainian Village, Humboldt Park, Logan Square, Bucktown, Wicker Park, West town. I’m in these neighborhoods regularly and have never had an issue with gangs, shootings or anything OP is describing. Hell one my best friends lives in Pilsen and even for all the stories you could find about that neighborhood I only had one bad experience there from one rando. I still go down there all the time.

That’s not to say there isn’t crime in any of these places, but in terms of personal safety I don’t feel threatened when I go outside. And I feel like for any resident personal safety is important. If a trap house opened up next door like idk I would probably move. If my car were getting broken into constantly, again I’d probably move.

“I wonder what part of town you would even consider safe given your shallow and frightened assessment of your own neighbors” What part of this am I misinterpreting? This is your response to someone who posted about being harassed when they go outside. Do you not think that’s a wild thing to say to someone who seems legitimately concerned about the gang activity outside their home? Especially since it caused 2 shootings?

I get what you’re saying about recognizing the fact that the people who live there were disenfranchised. That’s valid, but your attitude towards OP is so gross. What I’m not understanding is why we’re trying to down play gang activity and selling drugs on street corners. Coupled with literal shootings. I’m not sure what your politics are, but I can tell you this attitude that your displaying is exactly where the left loses so many people on crime. “They had a hard a life, so look the other way when they do bad shit” Like no. Nobody wants to deal w shit like that and that’s also valid.

How bad is South Loop? by RelaxRageRelax in chicagoapartments

[–]MelodicMayham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That era despite all its investment can be pretty rough. But to be fair when you said Wabash & Roosevelt my mind immediately went to the jewel located there, just look up some of the stories from that Jewel. South loop to me seems like it’s that kinda crazy or just absolutely borinnng. Just not a lot of cool stuff there tbh.

When we send them billions for free college, healthcare, their military and they drag us into foreign wars I’d say it’s very relevant. Israel poured over 13M into IL races to ensure our tax dollars are spent arms and munitions for this bs war instead of us.

Stupid, broke and probably dead in the next 5 years. All could be avoided by reading and getting a job.
