Pedestrian birder in Chicago. Click on #birds tag to see just my bird photos without the whinging. I'm also sharing bird links using the #BirdLinks tag. I'm embarrassed by my typos but usually not enough to delete them. Gear: OM1 & OM 150-400 & 100-400
Don't ever look up how they treat kidney stones that need surgery.

Pritzker actually supported the Fair Tax and spent a almost $50 million in support of it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinoi...

Not his call. It requires an amendment to the Illinois constitution which needs a 60% support in a referendum. Last try in 2020 got only 47% in favor.

I'm not sure what your point is here. Surrender? I really don't think there is anything better that JB could be doing here with Ilinois finances. Can he promise a gay space communism future? No, but nihilism or fatalism pretty much guarantees the opposite. So the work has to continue to be done.

Well, it is really on the voters. A big part of it though is public pressure to keep administrations and the Chicago city council honest.

Don't lawyers have to actually report intent to injury or ongoing fraud? Of course when you are the DOJ who you report it to is kind of a big problem.

I was referencing the childhood trauma part, but yes it has also been very upsetting having all of my favourite dystopian fiction become playbooks

Honeywell Germ Free Cool Mist Humidifier HCM-350B-CST. The second upside is that they don't cover your place in mineral dust like sonic humidifiers.

I think about this every time they talk about Wrigleyville leading the city in public urination tickets. Pile about 50-60K people into a small neighborhood, sell them booze with insufficient toilet facilities and then have cops write tickets for public urination.

Notably the yacht club facilities at Montrose are always operable.but those are only available for people who can pay the poll tax of having a boat. The Park District allowing the filtering out of the hoi-poloi, which is a pretty consistent implicit policy, is getting worse year by year.

Back when Google Fit shared your activity percentile with regard to the the entire population of Google Fit users before privacy laws neutered the feature you could get into the 99th percentile of activity by walking about 7K steps. The overwhelming majority of people are almost completely inactive.
