Fortunately Pritzker won’t listen to him. This guy can’t beat him (JB is vulnerable to a good candidate but this guy isn’t him). Frankly these stories that small businesses deserve for people to HAVE to work for them are kind of obnoxious. They have a our serfs are rebelling vibe for me. And anyway the benefits expire in September so folks will be returning to labor anyway (or starting businesses or formalizing retirement etc.) soon anyway. We’ve all been through a rough year, let’s ...

That’s one way to go about it. Can’t fault him for trying. There’s also been an ammo shortage so might not be a bad attempt. I’m curious what the conspiracy theorists will come up with on this one. Well it’s worth a shot… Regardless we should be doing more stuff like this - Grandson of Man - Thursday, May 6, 21 @ 10:13 am: The governor maybe should sweeten the deal and offer “Pritzker S*cks” and “stop the steal”/Trump signs. Many people unfortunately may be out of reach (bu...

The image on Google Earth of the address in LA listed on Cyberdrive looks like an apartment building. @ U of I Alum: Please explain, with proof of course, why you believe that to be the case. It’s a pretty, say, serious accusation (though I certainly have other words to describe it.) Questioning or debating the policies of Israel or its leaders, as related to the Palestinians, is not a form of antisemitism. That simple. But when a movement or group has as its MO to focus solely on and blame I...

In fairness to the Tribune, it may have confused its circulation numbers with the population numbers. Conflation and obfuscation, not contrition is the SOP for the Trib editorial board and it’s rightwing columnists. Capt Fax must be on be nice to the Tribbies mode…sad Trashing the state is a continuing theme with no real clear reason. The result has been that nearly no one pays much attentopn to their mish mash anymore. ==it may have confused its circulation numbers with the population numb...

I know its a typo, but “in the spirit of goof governance” seems like an appropriate way to describe this specific situation. “goof governance” made me laugh “In the spirit of me wanting to fade into the background and in the best interest of the people that are very upset with me, I decline the one month salary to which I am entitled by law.” - Essential State Employee - Friday, Feb 26, 21 @ 12:08 pm: = in the spirit of goof governance= Is “goof governance” a typo either on thi...

Cue the comments stating that this improvement would have happened without the Governor’s restrictions and now he’s killed the economy. Sigh… Love to see this!! Enjoying these numbers, while I can. - Not the Dude - Wednesday, Feb 3, 21 @ 8:49 am: I feel sorry for all the businesses that have been impacted, but his actions have helped slow the spread. Hopefully relief for all is just around the corner. I sure wish that more people would understand these numbers as “the preventative meas...

Can’t the company find some mayor more interested in the warehouse? Why does it have to be Elwood? - Andersonville Right Winger - Wednesday, Feb 3, 21 @ 10:08 am: Hopefully State Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., who is from Elwood, has enough clout with the Governor’s office to stop this awful project What Will co doesn’t need is 1000s more trucks jamming up the roads. Build three or four lane bridges over the Illinois river on I-55 and on I-80 over the Canal in Joliet before adding more truck tra...

Well people have pointed out how he is a supporter of the trial lawyers, nice to him to show that love with financial support “As I’ve told you before, Madigan spent $2.66 million on lawyers between July of 2017 and July of last year.” Does this mean Rauner and Koch are winning? This means one thing. They are in late stages of negotiation with the G as usually a huge flurry of negotiations and work—then an Indictment or it goes away. This far along and this much legal work I suspect...

Hmmm, lots of Saputo’s. “the House chamber does not allow sufficient distance between legislators to avoid transmission of the virus” While this may be true, Representatives seemed to disregard the distance requirements and spend time in close proximity to each other throughout their time in-session. What would be the difference that one group would pay $1,000/day & another would pay $5,000/day? they need to pause session until they can get back into the capitol.. the convention center is...

I was perplexed to learn that Mr. Aaron began his career hitting cross-handed (left hand above right hand as RH hitter) yet was still smashing the ball. RIP. An all-time great called by an all-time great. Chills indeed One of the Greatest players, and arguably the greatest offensive player, of all time, at a minimum he is in the top three in my book. Total class, incredible poise and an amazing post retirement life. His ability to persevere not just as he was about to break Ruth’s record, b...
