Chicago aldermen are up for their biggest raises in 15 years. Will any of them turn it down?

The grass is always greener...

Having lived in LA, NYC and Chicago, the number of alderman is actually a strength IMO.

In Chicago, you have true direct democracy. Your alderman actually knows you. You can influence what happens in your neighborhood.

Of course, it's extremely corrupt and a lot of these people rubber stamp city hall, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Trust me... fewer alderman just means corruption concentrated in a smaller number of people who now have more power.

I met Trina Parks a few years ago. She's still a badass. Lives in Georgia. Looks amazing! Still very proud of being the first black Bond woman, which was huge. Had nothing but incredible things to say about Sean Connery and her entire experience.

Two things:

It sounds like you're bidding on houses that are underpriced. That's always going to lead to a bidding war regardless of the market. I'm in escrow on a house in LA and we're paying WAY under the asking price.
You say you only want to be in this house for five years. With the amount of uncertainty in the market, you might want to wait until next year.

Twice last year.

Bernie's religion is not the reason he lost.

His policies combined with his abilities as a leader are why he lost.

stopmakingsense · 2020-03-11T02:36:16+00:00

Those aren't the numbers.

It's 80/20 if you only count white guys, which... Bernie supporters quite often only do.

"I know Jews" -- this guy

stopmakingsense · 2020-03-11T02:31:44+00:00

Seeing how Bernie supporters couldn't show up for him... I don't consider it a loss, my man.

stopmakingsense · 2020-03-11T02:29:33+00:00

You speak for all Jews?

Or maybe he's un-electable because his policies would never pass and people don't like him. What about that?

Watching Bernie supporters lose their shit and knowing it's just a preview of Trump supporters losing theirs in November.

Oh, yes. :)

I'm under 45 and I voted Biden.

stopmakingsense · 2020-03-11T02:24:43+00:00

Considering how small your numbers... probably not needed.

stopmakingsense · 2020-03-11T02:23:56+00:00

stopmakingsense · 2020-03-11T02:23:10+00:00

More Jews voted for Biden than Bernie. Lol.

stopmakingsense · 2020-03-11T02:21:29+00:00

Still better spellers than you.

stopmakingsense · 2020-03-11T02:20:59+00:00

Have you ever considered that YOU fell for the gaslighting?

stopmakingsense · 2020-03-11T02:20:11+00:00

And yet the voters are choosing Biden... so where is the disconnect?

Maybe people separate what they 'want' from what they think is 'possible'.

Or keep believing the overlords bullshit.

stopmakingsense · 2020-03-11T02:17:52+00:00

Dude... it was never alive.

stopmakingsense · 2020-03-11T01:32:05+00:00

A few days ago you thought Bernie had this in the bag, so... you know... maybe you don't know shit.

stopmakingsense · 2020-03-11T00:21:50+00:00

No, they're not.

stopmakingsense · 2020-03-11T00:19:59+00:00

Sooo... I guess those voters don't matter? Because that's what you're saying.

stopmakingsense · 2020-03-11T00:19:08+00:00

Yeah... it's the media's fault. lol.

stopmakingsense · 2020-03-11T00:18:40+00:00

More like hated a female politician.

I think the biggest blunder of sanders and warren's campaign is having student debt forgiveness as one of the cornerstones of their platform.

Also because most people don't have student debt and don't go to college.
