...even before COVID-19 lockdowns and Saint George Floyd nuttiness had Americans fleeing for the burbs, Chicago was already the fastest-shrinking metro area in the country.

Progressives like ACRE might try to impose $12 billion in taxes, but they’ll never collect them. What they can do, though, is accelerate Chicago’s slow-motion suicide.

The old mayor was an idiot. The new mayor, might even be a bigger idiot.

“Chicago’s new Democratic mayor, Brandon Johnson, during his Monday inauguration speech, compared the recent murder of a city police officer to the 2021 shooting death of an armed teen by police.

Johnson, who has come under fire over his past comments expressing support for the “defund the police movement,” told the crowd at the inauguration, “The tears of Adam Toledo’s parents are made of the same sorrow as those of Officer Preston’s parents.”

He was referencing 24-year-old Chicago police officer Areanah Preston, who was tragically shot to death outside her South Side home on May 6 after returning from a night shift, and 13-year-old Adam Toledo, who was shot by a police officer while armed during a foot pursuit in March 2021.”

Calling this suicide assumes facts not in evidence.

A ‘financial transaction’ is the buying or selling of anything & everything.

Buy a $1.59 Slurpee & pay a transaction fee of $2.00......

Same suicide is Biden Admin (Biden is just a stooge) getting rid of ICE automobiles, rid of new gas stove and gas heating hook ups (NY and California so far) AND our open borders. 6 million infiltrators so far

“… Quadruple the tax on jet fuel.…”
**************************************

The thirsty DemocRATS apparently don’t realize that Airplanes fly in and out of Chicago from and to OTHER airports. Those other airports also have the capability of refueling aircraft. Airlines have the capability/flexibility of determining how much fuel (if any) they take on at particular airports.

If Chicago quadruples their tax on fuel the amount of fuel SOLD in Chicago will DECREASE SUBSTANTIALLY and the actual TOTAL taxes collected on those sales may actually decrease. UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES!

I think this may be the the actual bottom addicts must hit before reformation…or death. Considering this is America, I believe it will be the former and not the latter.
