Important thing of note here: Because of a state law the only applies to districts of over 300,000 (lol, there’s only one of those in IL), CTU can’t bargain on anything but pay, benefits and length of contract. I suspect that 15%/3 year item is to keep us at the bargaining table. If we accepted the 16% we would no…

State law (that only applies to Chicago) does not allow the CTU to strike for anything but compensation and benefits. So rejecting the proposed wage increase is the only way that they can keep the critical issues on the table.

It’s not just you. The last series on that topic I watched was in “The Wire”. I don’t believe anything can top that and, in any case, I’m over it as a subject of entertainment.

Yeah, you need to edit this part: “CTU is actually asking for smaller pay increases than the city is offering: Chicago wants to give teachers a 16 percent pay raise over five years, the union is asking for 15 percent over three years.” Getting to 15% in three years = higher pay raises than getting to 16% in five…

I highly suggest getting medical care from unlicenced doctors. 

I am a CPS parent and I say, give them what they want. I would go further and cap charter school growth (which I believe they did in LA) - they perpetuate the segregation and they take public funds while not being held accountable to the public for results or proper spending. Rahm’s expansion of UNO charters, CPS…

Yeah, this whole piece has been a rollercoaster for me. At first, I was side-eyeing the processed, ready-made burrito. Then I heard what’s in it, saw it, and thought “DAMN, that looks both good and reasonably healthy!” Then came HuskyBro with the nutritional info hookup...

That burrito looks very good and I bet it taste awesome...but

I admire their mission. And I’m sure it’s delicious. But 1240 mg of sodium? Damn.

This is so egregiously appalling I think it’s going to interesting to see, if as a business, it can recover. I can’t see how. 

Put them on blast; don’t do business with them. There needs to be a Yelp for racist/bigoted businesses.

Between this bitch and the one who called Hawaiian people “Alohas” and tried to get a Brown man deported for no reason, I’m utterly baffled as to how White women have fucked this week up, and it’s only Monday afternoon.

She unintentionally nailed it with “Christian race.” So many of these situationally-holy types seem to regard “The Bible” (a book they probably couldn’t pick out of a lineup) as magically supporting whatever bigoted shit is swirling around their heads on any given day. “I hate that fat black woman so the Bible must…

Their Facebook page was up again for about 20 minutes, the owner wrote a suuuuper long “apology” because she says she spent all night reading the bible and GUESS WHAT there’s nothing in there about mixed race marriages so hey, everything’s good now! I mean, I’m sure they’ll still discriminate against gay people and…

This. Is. So. Funny. To. Me. Who, i say who, goes to craigslist to buy a chicken sandwich? Damn Craig.

“It’s totally deceptive. Who runs out of chicken? It’s a big fiasco. Someone has to stand up to big corporate,” Barr said. “Everyone is captivated by these sandwiches. They’ve got everyone gassed up on them.”

Exactly. If you can’t find a good chicken place in Tennessee, you’re not even trying.

It CONSUMES you?? a chicken sandwich?? a chicken sandwich?? You consume a chicken sandwich didnt know it could be the other way around. And why the hell would you fall for a “chicken sandwich in the back”?? that sounds like an old chicken sandwich at best. Look I didnt get to taste it. I went twice, 1st time was when…

Okay Jordan Peele needs to get on this immediately. I mean he made two horror masterpieces with Get Out and Us now he needs to do The Chickening. How love of a chicken sandwich took over America. I mean he can even use the tethered if he wants too. I mean The Sunken Place, The Tethered and now The Poultrified. I mean…
