Historic Washington Park National Bank Building Gets Approval To Build Luxury Offices

There are so many things that the south and west side of Chicago need but this really isn’t it. This isn’t it anywhere in the country or the world right now. The old way is gone yet people are insisting on clinging to it. Correction, people who got to where they are now by “the old way” don’t want to lose the trappings of that power so want to hold on to it in every way they can. Being in the office is a power trip. If people want to be in the office, cool, if they don’t , that’s cool too. Younger people in the office, I sort of agree with that, but mid to senior level people don’t need to be where you can see them to be productive. But hey, let’s build luxury office spaces to prove something that in today’s current environment, really doesn’t mean anything, does it?

I still like to think that I am a capitalist however, I realize now that even if you are a good person and believe in responsible capitalism, the bad people, the manuplators, the con-men and the vultures are the ones who will make out in the end. The economy for the everyday person right now is SHIT, okay, it’s SHIT. Groceries and gas are out of this world, there are layoffs still happing with no replacement jobs, and if there are, those jobs are paying 30% less than pre-pandemic rates. THRITY PERCENT LESS THAN PRE-PANDEMIC WAGES. Inflation isn’t going down- at least not if you live in a major city, and we’re paying attention to Hunter Biden’s ding dong in tight whities (seriously, I do not give a fuck.).

The South and West sides of Chicago need investment but those investments need to be infrastructure, groceries stores and jobs- not of the office variety quite yet because due to how things are down there, the education isn’t there- YET. Investment in the people first, then the rest will come.

I wish I had money. I wish my parents had been smarter so that I had been smarter. There is so much that I KNOW now that I could do something with but I have zero capital. Stupid position to be in. I could do something about all of this.

Waukegan man faces up to 100 years in prison after jury convicts him of attempting to murder police officers in North Chicago

But if a cop murders a person, they get off more times than not and they certainly don’t get 100 years…

Watch out Ukraine, here comes the Hungaro-Austrian Empire

Just a brief blurp from me… But something just crossed my mind that I hadn’t thought of:

Is there the smallest chance that the EU could crumble? We’re definitely in a weird time and part of the decline of the current phase of the story of humanity on earth. It’s about time for things to hit the fan but… was this on anyone’s bingo card?

Migrants dropped near Kamala Harris’ home amid record-setting cold

The places in hell for these Christians will be of a special sort, I can tell you. The cruelty of “our fellow Americans” is absolutely still shocking to me.

I, for one, am totally for Civil War. Always have been. It’s the only way to reduce the population of rats that have infected America. There will be casualties on both sides (mostly the liberals because they’re too invested in their anti-gun doctrine as well to see the forest through the trees, just like the conservatives… both sides are too drunk on their own KoolAid).

Make no mistake, I still consider myself a centrist, but it literally has become everyone else vs. the fascists in America. But the problem is that nobody is willing to say what needs to be said out loud for fear of being canceled or having the shouty internet brigade of Identity Politics basically derail what is really important as usual with their “WHAT ABOUT ME. WHAT ABOUT MY FEELINGS.” at a time when everyone is suffering. Shut the fuck up and sit down, Frances, the adults need to figure this out.

Yes, I said it. It’s the truth. There are bigger issues right now which affect you. Everything isn’t about you, but some things will affect you. Too bad people have forgotten how to get in line for the greater good.

Everything is completely broken and when a pandemic cannot reset everything (which I believe was a warning to us all), then the next step is a war. The great reset isn’t just everyone quitting and switching jobs, the great reset needs to be getting everyone to recognize the humanity in others again. Seems the only time we get reminded of that is in horrible, mass-publicized genocide or war with a bunch of photos of children fucked up. Then it becomes “oh gee willikers, this is awful, this terrible, maybe we should make a UN and maybe we should do some trials and maybe we all should try to be nice to each other for about 80 years then we can do it all over again!”

I’m right… in everything I said above. I’m saying this shit out loud again. Come at me… I want better for all of us, but I also know that sometimes better involves “punching nazis and fucking shit up”.
