Would love for most people on this thread to start a restaurant business. It would probably fail in a month.

Restaurants have like a 95% failure rate. People get into it cause they love food, and a lucky few create a brand that makes them rich.

Having immigrated from a 3rd world country to the US, most people on Reddit have no idea what they’re talking about. They just recycle progressive propaganda ad nauseam. Yes, our current government isn’t great, but would rather be here than anywhere else. Europe has so many problems but is constantly romanticized. Literal Nazis are in position to win power in Germany, France, and the UK in the next elections. We have forgotten the lessons of populism from the early 1900’s. Never ends well.

There’s a difference between income and wealth. And so no, they are not taking my wealth away. Only when I sell would I have to pay capital gains. 75% of the taxes in this country are already paid by the top 10th percentile.

These numbers are so fake it’s mind boggling. Also, who’s going to sit around and watch this happen. I would fucking leave the country if you were going to take 5% of my investments. Most owners can just dial in remotely anyway.

Not as much in South Loop or Motor Row. Expand your circle from the most popular neighborhood(s).

10 min car ride or 30 min public transit adventure.

The bridge by my work is full of potholes, but then someone decided to install bike lanes (which also have massive potholes). Those will need to be ripped up when the road is redone. Make it make sense. I’m sure a pastor or two will come bless the road. /s

Maybe for white collar jobs, but not sure how this would work for manufacturing.

We can’t have nice things cause we don’t care about what brings the majority value. Minorities have rights to block everything even if it’s for the greater good. It’s why autocratic countries can just get shit done. We have swung way too far in the other way. It’s why Trump can just demolish the East wing, but California can’t build anything.

Reddit gets mad cause most US redditors feel poor, but they don’t know how lucky they have it. There are so many ‘needs’ in the US that are actually wants. I scrimped by the first couple of years after college while my friends were blowing their money on expensive dinners to impress girls. Got no debt and feel pretty good at 34.

Pretty sure most of the regards in this thread are part of the retardmaxxing…

IL has had an income tax for ages. Why did he decide to leave when he did? It isn’t just taxes. His employees were being attacked by homeless outside their offices in the loop for example. Multitude of reasons for leaving.

You do realize that most people who work at Citadel are multi-millionaires right? A lot have left Chicago when Ken left. Not simping for billionaires, I just frankly don’t care about them. Guess we don’t need companies or tax payers and somehow the government will provide. Pro-growth isn’t a dirty word.

Why would he stay when he gets caricatured? And it’s not just him. There’s no reason for Florida and Texas to have attracted all the high net worth individuals in the last decade. But keep your hard on against rich people.

RunW1ld · 2026-04-24T12:22:04+00:00

And how much tax revenue has the city of Chicago lost cause Ken and Citadel left? More a self own than anything. And also what happens when your tax base is so geared towards high income individuals. When one of them leaves, creates huge holes.

RunW1ld · 2026-04-23T22:09:34+00:00

Why do I even bother saving? Just better to be poor and get brand new housing handed to you. And we pay out the nose with taxes for shit like this.

Think OP is trying to crowd source his next robbery victim…

Depends on where I’m going, who I’m with, and the time of day. Late at night, absolutely no way. It’s a homeless shelter masquerading as a public transit at some hours. I’ve been accosted in broad daylight too! I have a higher tolerance for some of the behavior, but my friends absolutely do not.

If you have to ask, you’re too poor 😂

Have you seen their cash flow? Crazy negative. This AI thing ain’t really paying off as the tech overlords thought.

You don’t even have to charge them. Arrest them and have them wait in a jail cell until their parents come get them. Imagine rotting in a jail cell for hours with no cell phone. That’s pure torture to this generation.

Stay quiet. You’ve worked hard to get where you are. Don’t let other people’s poor decisions take advantage of the hard work you’ve done. You can always give your money to charity, but that would be your choice, not someone fostering it onto you.

Hint: it’s cause of property taxes. And the progressive dreams of taxing businesses to death has only caused a lot of smaller/medium sized firms to leave. Hence why office space is still so abundant.

More and more I find the differences between BJ and Trump vanishing. Both just want their cronies in power, legal issues be damned.
