“If that dries up we really have no way to replace it,”
Embrace the suck, Chicago.

Democrats are meeting RIGHT NOW and are coming up with a solution. Trust Joe Biden.
Right.
They run to decent peoples’ areas and then infest like pests again. Vote Dem after they left a place run by Dems.
Cuckoo. Cuckoo.
Take the Nikes off of your feet for the place where you stand is some gangsta’s ground.
Anyone with two functioning brain cells who is STILL in a city under Progtard DildoCrat control has a death wish.
Your life and your freedom are worth FAR more than whatever dross you are overvaluing in your decision to stay.
No one is talking about the exodus of students in the public school system who are opting to homeschool. More federal education dollars GONE.

Enjoy your Grooting, Chicago. Open wide and bend over.

“...Anyone who voted for the Democrats shouldn’t be allowed to leave, eat your own dogshit....”
Best suggestion yet. Keep the insane with the insane.
Don’t let em out to ruin somewhere else.
Not my circus, not my monkeys, just stay in Chicago.
Yep. Build the wall......around leftist chit holes. Subject anyone wanting to leave to an ideological test. Leftists who voted for it to be forced to stay and live with the consequences.
Like a puppy that craps on the carpet, they’re not going to learn u til you rub their noses in it.
It’s not going to change.
What responsible human being is going to EVER run for mayor in the top 25 worst cities ? Answer : None.
