Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot fired back at the CEO of McDonald’s after he highlighted the difficulty rising crime in the city has caused for his business, telling him he needs to "educate himself" on the matter.
"I think what would have been helpful is for the McDonald's CEO to educate himself before he spoke," the Chicago Democrat said during a media availability on Tuesday.
McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski warned in a speech at the Economic Club of Chicago luncheon last week that it was time to "face facts" and acknowledge that companies have been leaving the city over the past year due in part to rising crime.
"The fact is that there are fewer large companies headquartered in Chicago this year than last year," Kempczinski said. "There are fewer this month than last month."
Kempczinski also said that rising crime is hurting his company’s ability to recruit top talent and that employees have been hesitant to return to work at the downtown headquarters due to crime concerns.
In the press conference, Lightfoot also pointed to a letter from World Business Chicago President Michael Fassnacht that she says "lays out in exact detail all the good news, economic news, about what’s happening in our city."
"I’m going to focus on those things and not the comments of CEO of McDonald’s," Lightfoot said.

Would be funny as heck if the CEO “educated himself,” ran the numbers, moved the HQ, and closed all high crime store locations.
This demon never fails to amaze with her (it’s) sheer lack of good sense. If she’s re-elected than it’s over for Chi town.
Another few years of these people running our country to ruin will find those of us who protest the situation behind bars, dead broke from civil suits, canceled, or in re-education camps.
“I felt like I needed a haircut so I got one, okay?”
While everyone else was forbidden to open a barber shop or salon and no one was allowed to get a haircut or blow because of Covid. Sometimes you just got to sit back and marvel at all the stupid.
They can be dumb as a box of rocks but they are deluded into thinking they are smarter than you because their elites use that as a talking point.
Wait until the SAFE-T Act kicks in on January first. Hoo boy, we’re in for a crime wave then.
My Mom met Moe Larry and Curly when she worked at a high end dinner house. She said Moe and Larry had a table with their wives and Curly sat at a different table. They really didn’t like each other so much at that point they couldn’t even share a table together. She said Moe and Larry were very stand offish and even unfriendly, but Curly was as nice as could be and she really liked him.
Lori said he should educate himself.
There are crime statistics update and info. such as this:

Long ago, perhaps. One of their earliest restaurants was there, but HQ is now in what they call the West Loop, just south of Congress Xpressway, not far from U of Chicago.
Yeah, The CEO of one of the largest and most successful coroprations in the world is an ignorant hick, compared to a triple Affirmative Action beneficiary pol who otherwise MIGHT get a job as a side-show freak.
