She was unbelievably bad but we haven't really seen the quality of any who will replace her. Chicago will only be saved by republicans who clean out the stable of all the horse shit but with their demographics I see only a continual slide into self-destruction. No one really needs chicago any longer, it's importance to the US passed a while ago and the money that may save NY or CA isn't really in IL.
Both of the candidates who advanced are unfortunately Democrats. Chicago has been a bought and paid for Democrat bastion since the early 1900s. It is roughly a third black, a third hispanic, and a third white.
That's why, not just for chicago, but for most urban centers, they are demographically doomed to fail. My urgent question is where will the hordes of dispossessed/disenfranchised parasites alight when there is no more free stuff coming from these dem blue shitholes?
They have no reason to "wise up" as long as the dems keep sending them welfare checks etc. Their best interest, at this moment (which is a product of dem agendas) is to keep taking in exchange for their votes because most of them have no real incentive or proclivity to actively engage in the real competitive world of free capitalism. That is why there is a movement in blue states to create a "guaranteed minimum income" at taxpayer's expense, of course, to keep them mollified after they blow all their "reparations" checks on lottery tickets and drugs etc.
The reality of our national situation is such that "dreams" are not what is needed. Action is what we need to take before we reach the point of no return. It is warm and fuzzy to think of harmless ways to erradicate this mess but that is not a reality. Even San Salvador (https://news.yahoo.com/thousands-tattooed-inmates-pictured-el-123804071.html) has realized that it needs to cage up the barbaric gangs or lose its nation to thugocracy. We are close to being in the same situation.
I am going to just toss this out in an effort to correct one misconception. This is not a rebuke or an attack . On a per capita basis the Chicago metro area is the 3rd wealthiest in the United States behind NYC and LA. It is also the home of the CBoT, which is the commodity version of the NYSE. So I disagree that no one needs it or that it's importance has passed. I'm biased though, as I have relatives in the area. And they are conservative, and vote accordingly. But the Chicago machine has been in existence for nearly 200 years and graft knows no party there, the letter in front of the name is less important than the support of the local "bosses".
Chicago used to be the hub of the transfer of all our nations output down to Louisiana. As for the CBoT, like NYC, it will find that to do digital things you do not need to be in a particular location. As the wealth leaves chicago, just as it is leaving other dead urban zones, its status will continue to debase until, just like wealthy areas such as in Atlanta, the rich free themselves from the urban sinkhole that it has become. Money will not stay where it cannot be most profitable tax-wise or safety-wise which discourages many from taking jobs that require them living in such areas. It was a great city once and its architecture was fantastic but it is beyond saving with its demographics change since the 1950's.
That's fine, you have a sentimental association with chicago in a way that I have with Pittsburgh - another victim of blue urban death - but I study history with a passion and see trends that have been seen before in man's journey on this planet. We can hope for the best...
Actually I only have an attachment to the city because of family. But then, I have family living in 17 different states. Mom's side was prolific to say the least. I base my opinions on the same factors that you do, and I also am an avid student of history. Enjoy your day, and I agree that we must hope that the national pendulum continues to swing back towards the conservative side.
Let's wait too see if whoever does get elected can do a better job. Remember Eric Adams was gonna "fix" NYC when he replaced Diblasio. How's that coming along?
demographicaly, the Great Society legislation of the 60's (product of the dems who gave us welfare, medicaid and foodstamps and government subsidized housing) has proved to be the incubator of huge swathes of generational parasites who will continue to feed off of the remains of once great republican run urban centers. Is there a solution to millions of takers who serve no other purpose than to continue to vote for democrats that send them just enough crumbs to be healthy enough to reproduce and continue to grow the situation?
The government has enabled this for several generations now. There needs to be some tough but humane love to get some of those trapped in this cycle off the gov dole. It would be interesting to see what would happen if right to vote was contingent on contribution to society but I'm sure there are lot of arguments against this.
"There needs to be some tough but humane love " it was this same sentiment that turned blue dog democrats into bleeding heart liberals and gave us this continually growing societal disaster. All of life on this planet exists under the rule of survival of the fittest. Just read history, anthropology, paleontology etc to note how many species have gone extinct. We are not safe from this same fate if we cannot control our own. The spawn of this disastrous failed anthropological experiment (the welfare state) will forever live off its host until the host is dead or the parasites are eliminated. As harsh as this sounds, it is basic life history. We have a surplus of extraneous humans that seem, at this point, unredeemable but our "humanity" seems unwilling to do anything that will alleviate the situation. There is no humane way to reclaim the likes of the thugs that daily commit murder and mayhem throughout this nation. The degree of deviant and debased activity is overwhelming and almost beyond control.
I am almost convinced that voters in Chicago had a voice in this.... but no, Chicago is as rigged as it gets. Just that Beetlejuice didn't pay her tribute to the machine is all this shows

Maybe someday they will wise up and stop voting for their own demise.
Im not holding my breath on that one 🤷🏼♀️

Your correct, but a girl can dream.....sigh.

You are certainly welcome to your opinion. I am going to agree to disagree on this subject.

NYC is broken, nothing will ever bring her back to the Guilianni years.
Not even close.

It’s a continuation of the same shit show.
Good riddance to the MOST inept, divisive,racist law enforcement hating excuse of a human being to ever hold the title as Mayor of Chicago
It is now overrun by gangs and thugs. It’s so bad that the Chicago Bears franchise bolted.
I however, don’t hold much hope that the citizens of Chicago have enough brain power to elect anyone better. Smdh
Thank God! The grandkids would scream every time her face was shown on TV........
Beetlejuice!!
