wonder how long Schillerstrom is going to last...

not sure why they tout this:

In 2013, the Tollway created a community hiring initiative in the south suburbs when it began expanding the I-294/I-57 Interchange. Community residents ultimately worked more than 10,500 hours on that project.

That's like what, 5 people full time for a year ?

“One of the trade skills in big demand now is for welders.”

But that takes desire, initiative, ambition, self-motivation, persistence, training, brains etc.

In Shitcago, itself the very definition of 'fustercluck', one would suppose that the proper term for this $14,000,000,000 boondoggle-in-waiting would be 'sub-fustercluck' ?

A 100' Lake Tsunami would be an immense blessing to the predominantly conservative citizens of the state of Illinois.

“We are building a new bridge from Detroit to Windsor (Canada). I’ve been told we are bringing in welders from Vietnam to help build it.”

I believe it on the Detroit side. Canadians are bringing Canadians for their part.

Ahhh, the Never-ending Illinois Toll Road scam.
Taxpayer money is funneled to unions who kick back a percent to the democrat politicians who then vote for more road work so more money can be funneled to the unions so more money can be kicked back to the politicians.
Illinois has that racket down to a science.

Whenever I was in Michigan and was headed west I went Up and over every chance I could just to miss Chicongo.
