lol I don’t even live in Chicago so I guess that makes me the dumb one in this scenario?

Everyone who doesn't actually live in Chicago is dumb.

I'm sorry :shobon:

I'm also married to a CPS teacher and I will never leave, running away to the suburbs or whatever (and saying they're from Chicago) is what lovely white people do, and I try not to be lovely.

I haven't really decided who I'm voting for yet outside of whoever has the best shot to unseat Berrios.

With Governor, I'm leaning toward Pritzker despite hating voting for a billionaire. I like his policies and he looks like a lock to beat Rauner. Kennedy is too sketchy from what I've seen. And while Biss has his heart in the right place, he's remarkably stupid on economic stuff which is pretty important for this state.

Stupid how? I don't know enough about home to have a firm opinion.

I'm not sure if it's going to be better or worse in a month. On one hand, it'll just be two candidates, but then that means you'll just see the same ad even more often instead of mixing it up between Biss, Kennedy, JB, Rauner, and Ives ads.

I still laugh at Ives ads where she openly mocks Chicago. Good luck winning a statewide election mocking the largest city.

You see, despite containing most of the population of the US, cities actually don't count because

There are way less people fleeing the state because of tax reasons than you think. California has roughly the same tax burden as Illinois, NY is #1 in the country for local taxes. Are people fleeing those states because of taxes? gently caress no they aren't. Hell, our neighbor to the north has around the same tax burden as us. People are leaving the state because of jobs, and because the state government sucks rear end.

And breaking unions, gently caress you. No seriously, gently caress you. We need more unions, not less.

It's more like CTU can agree on compensation issues and still strike over class sizes or support services like school counselors or even school building maintenance . I think this is great because all of my friends who are CTU teachers really care more about getting things like counselors and nurses for the kids rather than a raise. Not that they don't want to be paid fairly, but so many of their students need these support services that they're not receiving and the moment they agree to compensation they coukd no longer strike. It makes them look like greedy assholes to constantly be looking for big raises so that they can improve classroom conditions even if they do end up agreeing to modest CoL raises.

It's this.

Chicago being the murder capital of the world or whatever is one of those kind of thoughts that gel in people's brains like music or game genre preference or the "fact" that the world is ruled by a secret cabal of Jewish people or something stupid like that.
