“Yes, this is harsh judgment, but the Democrat Party deserves harsh judgment. ”
They deserve a lot more than that. I would like to see tall lampposts with RATS attached to them with a short piece of rope.

A once great city, in decline for decades, and now on warp speed to complete self destruction ala Detroit. Compliments of the democrat party, mismanaging the city uninterrupted since 1931.

“And by street vendors, does she mean hookers and drug pushers? This is Chicago after all.”

You forgot the gun runners which seems to be a lucrative business in Chicago.

I can help: Catch criminals, convict them, and punish them. Build bigger jails until Darwin affects long term behavior change. Second, promote Conservative values. Third, make it a business friendly city so that people can find jobs. You’re welcome.

Don’t blame it on the street vendors accepting cash. They aren’t the ones doing the drivebys. Chicago has had a crime epidemic for centuries. Chicago IS a crime epidemic. Always has been.

“””Yup go cashless and await the 87000 new IRS agents.”””


BINGO

A cashless society only purpose is to collect more taxes by the government.

BY FAR, the number one thing Lori Lightfoot can do to counter crime in Chicago is resign. Until that happens, there is no need to have a conversation about crime in Chicago.

This creature has a brain the size of a pea. A perfect RAT Governor. A leader of those more stupid than she.

LOL, don't you know these 87,000 new agents will be hired not for their education or qualifications, but for diversity. They will be trained by IRS supervisors who would likely never be hired by a private accounting firm.

They will start out as GS-7s, equivalent to a 2nd Lieutenant. For those that don't quit, it will take them a minimum of two years to be promoted to GS-9...the IRS is notorious for a lack of promotions.

Remember, they aren't being hired on the basis of education or qualifications. They will be ill equipped to handle even the most basic IRS regulations. I predict a major cluster foxtrot at the IRS.

Do you think she has her eyes on the Statehouse? Lesbian governors seem to be the in thing, these days.

What she wants is a way to track the transactions so Chicago can tax the hell out of them

++++++++++++

I heard and read that Chicago is on the path to becoming Detroit 20 years ago. I personally thought that was ludicrous. What I see happening now is fulfillment of that prediction. I never thought I'd say I miss Mayor Daley (either one), but at least they kept the city livable.

I avoid Chicago as much as humanly possible. Chicago was a beautiful city, but then again so was San Francisco.
