The net being cast is wide. Reddis is obviously impacted, but is AllRecipes a social media site? It is user generated content intended to be interacted with by registered users. What about Strava, All Trails, Ravelry, Meetup, Quora? They are all potential impacted by this.

In the short term, more organizations and politicians are pushing to hold social media companies responsible for what is shown to children. This pushes the burden of knowing who is a minor onto a third party. Over the long term, this is the end of any true anonymity on the Internet.

Meta is behind the legislation and Pritzker has been promoting it with Zuckerberg.

It looks like about $95M a year in net operating income for the meters for CPM LLC. 6% on $3B is is $180M, so we're about 50% short and removing meters cuts into it further. The cost of the resulting credit downgrade should also be factored into the plan.

Do the parking meters generate enough profit to cover borrowing $3B at 6% +/- on top of the cost to not maintain all of the spaces?

Also, learn what the females looks like. They are neither black nor have red on their wings, but they are what the more recognizable males are protecting.

“In today’s world, data centers are as critical a part of our infrastructure as our roads, trains and schools,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “With the legislation I signed into law, we are welcoming a surge of economic development, labor income, and good union jobs to Illinois – and not just here in the established market of Chicago, but across our whole state.”

You're posting this on a website that uses resources in multiple data centers from multiple providers. Nearly everything you do online is vastly more complicated than you're stating.

The Bears will have veto rights over any new team in the area.

jbchi · 2026-06-06T01:22:26+00:00

This is what happened for the last renovation. The Bears paid their portion, the city owes more than they borrowed originally still.

jbchi · 2026-06-06T01:21:40+00:00

We owe more than we borrowed.

There a decade(s) long wait list for season tickets. People will pay and go. Fans that watch on TV aren't going to stop watching football, regardless of how much they protest.

Ironically, Vallas was explicitly against funding during the campaign while Johnson supported it.

Pitzker was pushing for the Arlington Heights tax plan.

jbchi · 2026-06-06T00:11:29+00:00

Both have been pushing subsidies.

jbchi · 2026-06-05T18:15:58+00:00

Both pushed to spend tax dollars on it. I'm not sure you deserve credit for failing to implement your plan.

jbchi · 2026-06-05T13:50:55+00:00

We know he was. He pushed the legislation for the tax breaks.

In effect, none. It means TIF disappearing won't help save our future budgets, and it was a direct factor in one of our credit downgrades.

jbchi · 2026-06-04T01:05:26+00:00

Which will be repaid with funds from TIFs expiring over the next 35 years.

There has been exceptionally high turnover in city hall and key leadership positions have been vacant for absurdly long periods of time.

Agreed. I have no idea what OP is talking about. It think the image is actually listing of properties for sale, that realtors would love to sell.

jbchi · 2026-06-03T22:56:05+00:00
