When they get control, it’s popcorn time!
Chicago is in such fine shape now, what’s a decade or two of moving further left to see how it works out?
Socialism only works as long as there’s other people’s money to steal. Chicago is close to bankrupt.
They will increase the taxes like you won’t believe...
They’re in a hole, so they keep on digging
The ghost of Upton Sinclair is smiling, no doubt.
Chicago really is a Jungle... and it's going to get worse.
If the tourists stop coming, the massive revenue from outrageous sales taxes on restaurants, hotel rooms and entertainment will dry up, and Chicago will be a combat zone.
Where is Capone and the North Side Mob, this could be corrected very quickly.
Given the financial mess they can only look to raise all kind of taxes, all through the roof to try and save themselves. All they will do is drive more people out and what will be left will be those with no money.
Years ago I watched a video of a conservative journalist being verbally harassed & physically intimidated/threatened as he was herded out the door by a collection of union thugs & an assortment of angry communist riff raff at a socialism conference in Chicago. His crime? He was there to expose how immersed in the communist cause the head of the Chicago Public schools teacher’s union, CPS teachers, & other Chicago “academia” are. The CPS union boss & several teachers were keynote speakers. The journalist was simply sounding the alarm and prompted his audience to read the list of topics at the conference. It was frightening & shocking at the time. A quick read of the topics past & present, and it’s quickly apparent that they worship Marx. At these conferences, they conspire on how to best indoctrinate the youth & infest every facet of western society with their evil worldview. Infesting the political realm is of course tops on the agenda.
Here’s a snippet of the topics on tap for the comrades at this year’s conference:
Not Just Your Pay Grade: How Do Marxists Understand Class?
Marx’s Understanding of History
Marxism and Alienation
Marxism and Law
Marxism, Exploitation, and Oppression
Why We Need a Revolutionary Party
They are going down. The question is why any self respecting CEO would let his company go down with them.
They control only 1/10th of the city council? Actually, I thought they already controlled 10/10ths of the city council.
COULD THIS BE WHY CHICAGOANS ARE SEEING RATS ?
The city of Chicago is composed of 50 wards which average out to around 72 precincts of about 350 or more voters in each precinct. Many are former villages incorporated into the city as the city grew. . A Chicago Alderman is in effect a mini mayor. They have input into who gets city services and now it’s how those services are being administered seem to be running into who’s ward is it ?.
What’s not being looked at is how Chicago wards have been redistricted. Chicago has had neighborhoods divided to create “Hispanic”residential sections going to Hispanic aldermanic and congressional (Gutierez) candidates and blacks going to black candidates.Which apparently is the result of the turnover in the Freddie and Fanny mortgage collapse. As stable integrated areas changed into being unstable because of constant dwelling turnover.had the effect of breaking up a contiguous geographic continuity and community identity. Because the wards affected which are really like small towns have had sections broken up into areas where if a problem arises in a given section of street which has one way traffic only. It may be two way a block down because it’s in a different ward. The same applies to all other city services including zoning and sanitation where garbage collection routes are organized by ward boundaries,
50 year Alderman Burke who is under federal charges for corruption ward is an example. Burke’s ward ,14th, needed remapping . The 14th was originally known as “Back of The Yards” Once the home of the famous Chicago Stock Yards where most food processors along with employee demographics have since relocated. It was a compact area almost 15 plus city blocks square area composed mostly of single and 2 story frame and brick family dwellings mixed with scattered brick apartment units. Because of the construction, insurance rates varied and became known as the condemned as “redlining”. When the democrats also warily supported by the Bush 2 administration came up with the no 20% down mortgage removed. Areas in the ward dramatically changed in demographics. Many of those dwellings sold under those conditions went into disrepair or default.
Originally his ward headquarters and palace was on 51st street just west of Damen Avenue. Today’s palace is just off of Pulaski Road near the Madam Curie high school just off of Archer Avenue miles away.
His ward now consists of areas carved from parts of the 12th (known as Mc Kinley Park and Brighton Park) and parts of the 23rd (known as Archer Heights Garfield Ridge and Clearing) wards Miles from the original 14th That In a former section of the 23rd ward now the 14th ward in the Midway airport area, 2 patrons in a local bar along Archer avenue were heard complaining about rats in their garbage. They felt it was because of the delay in garbage collection. Also heard the same beef about street snow removal. It has also played hell on zoning and because of the disruption of jurisdictions with the administration of city services such as streets and sanitation which the alderman (salary $120.000 plus allocations on local projects) do oversee and have input over.
By.employing this concept of remapping are residents are being denied the representation they should have ? It’s also being used to promote racial division Nebraska is an example in this FR posting

Nebraska State Sen. Ernie Chambers is taking criticism for calling the American flag a “rag” and comparing it to the Nazi swastika.
Chambers (I) made the comments Tuesday as he spoke out against a state bill that would update civics requirements for students.
“I don’t come here for this rag every day, and it’s a rag. That’s all it is to me,” Chambers said in reference to the flag. “When you show a way to persuade Jews to sanctify and worship the swastika, when you show me that I’ll come up here and stand while you all hypocritically pretend that rag is something that it definitely is not.”
