Welcome to Chicago, hope you like walking approximately a mile and a half through a progression of liminal spaces to get to the train

I, for one, think random tall condo buildings add to the neighborhood character.

Chicago should have a razzie awards called the Alder-a-Ward and it’s for the alder people worst in each category.

Most housing blocked

a floor/carpet company being against upzoning is self defeating.

My hardwood to waxy, my carpet to shaggy. Boo hoo.

Typical misleading article title by BCC. Only one business: exposition flooring/carpet.

Unusually, Eric Adams has done the most predictable thing possible.
Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.

Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.

I heard a historian of dictatorships talk about how an important part of dictatorships is paying off your minions. The markets and the financial systems are the payoffs for the minions. The checks start bouncing and so does support.

For a group that so strictly controls what it communicates — one that debates intensity over a may, a shall, vs a could — to say this so bluntly is shocking.

Really looking forward to markets tomorrow...just not doing nothing at all. Just completely shrugging as all fundamentals collapse around them.
this is just patently ridiculous, Trump is now running a sham investigation into Chair Powell just because he wants him to lower interest rates faster
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia has opened a criminal investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell related to the Federal Reserve’s Washington headquarters, the New York Times reports.
