The maps indicate a lot of BAD Karma has been happening with Chicago voting and what the voters get for their vote.
Yet, the same voters have been getting the same political junkies for decades and in spite of nothing improving they repeat the same error, again and again.
A benevolent dictator would empty Chicago by forced out migration and turn it over to people that want it to be the fabulous city it could be.
And send the refugees where? *cough* Somalia? *cough*
“the fabulous city it could be.”
IMO the time of the ‘fabulous’ big city is passing.
Vast numbers of mid to low wage workers are needed to drive the’means of production’. And the cost of living in the city is ever upward coupled with a generous welfare state.
COVID may be accelerating the process?
