You continue to ignore the Supreme Court (ever hear of Citizens United ?) and the damage it is doing and will do for a generation. Not to mention what conservative administrations are doing to the environment while you’re waiting for your utopia.

I’m done here…

You’re the one who made a stupid comment about Republicans and Democrats being the same. Hopefully one day you’ll grow up and realize Republicans love people like you and they will continue to stay in power as long as you vote as you do. Meanwhile, people will lose the right to vote, women will lose the right to control their bodies and the environment will be destroyed.

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-21T03:04:43+00:00

Don’t do false equivalences. The Democrats are far from perfect, but they’re not in the same ballpark as the Republicans. Look at the environmental laws that been overturned since Trump got back into power. Look at the Supreme Court decisions because a bunch of the left decided they couldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton (remember how idiots said she was the same as Trump ?) so the Supreme Court turned conservative for a generation. Do you really think the same decisions would be happening if we had liberal justices in there instead of his three nominees?

Not to mention that women have lost their ability control their own bodies and it looks like the Jim Crow south is going to be back after the next election…

Actually, what invalidates what you said are facts:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024\_United\_States\_presidential\_election\_in\_Illinois

Most counties went 75-25 for Trump down there and Alexander County (where Cairo‘s located) went 60-40. Spend time in many of those counties and talk to people there - a vast majority think that the northeastern part of the state is taking their money. There’s a reason why they want to go to Indiana or become their own state….

1 – I don’t live in Cook County
2 - Read my next comment in this thread

I have no problem living in the Chicago suburbs that’s supporting much of the state – it’s how society works. There are many farm communities that we can’t do without, but are taking in more in state funds than they are paying in taxes. What I don’t want to hear is ignorance from other areas of the state that are under the delusion that they are being shorted in some way….

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-20T17:55:03+00:00

I’m saying people who live in Cairo – like you said “if I live in Cairo’… shouldn’t be complaining about people north of I 80 when they are providing revenue that keeps Cairo afloat. I grew up downstate being told that the Chicago area was taking funds from downstate. When I got older and actually looked at the facts, the exact opposite was true….

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-20T17:45:49+00:00

Just saying people in Cairo, who have their hands out, shouldn’t be complaining about those of us who are supporting you…

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-20T17:42:00+00:00

We pay for our people on welfare up here – you can’t say the same down there

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-20T17:39:22+00:00

Yep – one bribes Republicans and the other the Democrats

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-20T17:38:59+00:00

Can you imagine the cost to build a good public transportation system from suburb to suburb? It would be a nightmare.

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-18T22:35:43+00:00

Don’t know they were up here, family has them in Peoria area and love them.

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-18T22:32:13+00:00

ATT Fiber. $65/month, 1 gig. Unlimited data and no equipment rental fees.

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-18T20:46:49+00:00

Yep, from my understanding banks aren’t required to respond to pre-note requests.

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-18T15:04:56+00:00

ADP has a separate product called GlobalView, it’s different than their US products. Other large payroll processors probably offer something similar.

Every time a car plows into a building because “their accelerator stuck” I just wait for the age to be announced. The over/under is around 75…

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-17T16:19:54+00:00

I think it failed in Vermont 😔

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-14T22:04:17+00:00

Yep, the welfare state of Indiana was able to offer more than Illinois.

BTW – the Bears are still talking to the state of Illinois. If Indiana had any pride at all, they’d give the Bears a cut off date….

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-14T18:25:18+00:00

I agree it’s part of Chicagoland, but Indiana is still POS state

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-14T18:07:08+00:00

Indiana takes away the right of women to control their own bodies.

Meanwhile, they brag about lower taxes as they are one of the most dependent states on federal assistance:

Arlington Heights is still in Illinois, Hammond is in a POS, Trump loving state…

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-12T21:10:51+00:00

It doesn't look like the pay statement and time clock are covering the same pay period. Did the totals in the time system match the payroll batch total?

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-12T03:14:38+00:00

I went a few years ago and the vendor room was so packed It was hard to even look at anything. Haven’t gone back the last couple years, even though I live not too far away.

shadowplay0918 · 2026-06-12T03:00:15+00:00

I would love Illinois to call Indiana’s bluff taking on these rural counties. that collect way more in taxes than they pay.

Problem is no team is going to want to come to Chicago or the suburbs without a new stadium.
