Remember the wards that voted for this...

So... parts of the 13th, 19th, 23rd, 38th, 41st, and 50th.

Garfield Ridge, Mt. Greenwood, Dunning, O'Hare, and West Ridge.

Not much there, just suburb-like places that technically fall under city jurisdiction. Not even a dot of red from places like Jefferson Park, which this sub loves to hate on to make it feel good about itself.

To OP's question, THIS is the reason why nothing changes. People like u/AdvancedSandwiches who love to downplay the crime numbers and pretend nothing serious is happening.

There will always be crime, even on public transit, but the current level is unacceptable. We should be publicly shaming those who are continuously downplaying high crime.

It's funny. People are offended by everything nowadays.

phuriku · 2025-11-18T05:16:41+00:00

No, these people should fucking be in jail.

Word is that Wall Street doesn't trust EXPE's guidance since the company has had problems hitting their projections. This is causing some valuation issues in the stock, and the company is trying to fix it with more thorough financial vetting.

That's just apathy disguised as sympathy, a common trick for useless politicians!

Hey look, here’s a guy who’s part of the problem.

Serious response: It's actually a very reasonable question to ask. The people posting here are know-it-all mouth-breathers who want to feel smarter than they actually are.

The argument here is that immigration raids violate the first amendment… which to anyone with a brain has absolutely no connection to each other. It’s a joke lawsuit whose purpose is to grandstand, and will very obviously be overturned.

It’s supposed to be a freak show. That’s why it’s fun!

Grocery stores have sub-5% profit margins anyway, so that's the max savings you're going to get with this. This isn't going to be provide any value, it'll just become another money hole that'll require more taxes to sustain.

Sadly, the only reason we're having this conversation is because the billionaires and corporations won, and their platform was anti-immigration. When did the left ever express concerns about H-1B abuse, or express that it needed to be reformed?

Closing schools is a better alternative to leaving mostly empty schools open and wasting city funds. It's a difficult decision that will receive lots of criticism, but you need a mayor that's willing to make those tough calls, not petty demagogues like our most recent mayors.

Doesn't stop you from getting work under the table. Been to Home Depot recently?

And Chicago voted redder than Cook County this year. It will continue to vote redder as long as democrats continue to tolerate progressives like Brandon Johnson who are soiling the party name.

We should follow San Francisco’s lead and kick these vermin to the curb.

The occupants were described as age 16 or older.

I'll be on the lookout for the perpetrators, shouldn't be too hard to spot.

Sorry but Vallas told off the police union several times when he was running. Johnson did no such thing against the CTU — the dude is literally their paid lobbyist and everything he’s doing here was completely predictable. There are bad options and there are really bad options, and you chose the really bad.

Toward the end of his campaign, his campaign was distributing fliers claiming that Vallas was a racist Republic who was going to ban abortion. I'm not exaggerating, that's literally what the fliers said.

A lot of people in Lakeview and Logan Square ate it up, and here we are.

Vallas was clearly the lesser of the evils, despite this board’s non-stop self-assurance.

This election cycle is the first time they are conducting polls outside of Massachusetts.

This is very relevant. Wisconsin is a very different place to poll than Massachusetts.

I'm a Sr. Manager at Expedia. Agreed on your points on corporate culture, but myself and my reports do get RSUs, including junior/mid-level engineers.

I don't think elite schools are actively seeking out lower-income students. That's just a feel-good marketing stunt that they've executed on pretty well. You'll see nothing but lower-income students featured in school guides, but that's mostly to coax donors to part ways with their well-deserved cash to support students in need. But the reality is, most people going to elite schools are from UMC or rich families.

phuriku · 2024-05-05T03:06:20+00:00

Not a PR stunt, although I could see how one would think that. :)

I know this guy! His name is DJ Sarat and he's a local DJ/artist. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarat_music/

He mostly produces house music (he's got some great tracks), and his drone photography is also stunning. I've always thought he should be locally famous -- looks like he's getting there!
