With the added kick in the nuts of Maytag closing in '03 the town is kind of doomed. But doomed is relative, I suppose. Trevor Hale fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Sep 10, 2016 |

"white Progressivism" is the loving worst.

I'm really jealous of the youth who get to grow up being cool and awesome in places like this. Drugs are cool, guns are cool, shooting people and dying from being shot is cool as gently caress.

As a white person who regularly travels through poor black areas and walks through projects, I always felt pretty safe. Black people seem to be terrified of white people in those areas. One time I was on a bus that was entirely packed with black people except for 2 seats on either side of myself. They were the only free seats on the bus and no one wanted to get near me

One time I was really hammered and got on the Red Line going north around 2 AM... I sit down, immediately pass out, and next thing I know I'm going south... at 63rd street.... at 8 AM. Welp that's my story of the time I somehow wasn't robbed

Don't forget shutting down a good chunk of the public schools and underfunding the surviving ones, and not doing anything about the dangerous levels of lead and other toxins in the poorer parts of the city. Also our republican governor loves holding the city hostage while they play money games with the budget. ruddiger fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Sep 13, 2016 |

In 2015, Chicago had 468 murders and a rate of 17.2. Chicago isn't even close to being among the worst cities for murder rate in the US, let alone in Brazil.
