No part of Chicagoland is REALLY fiscally conservative. If it was, this state wouldn’t be in such financial ruin. The “conservatives” in this state fuck over the constituency and are just as addicted to tax dollars as the liberals. 

Cubs fans are usually transplants from some other Midwestern city who are borderline alcoholics that think they are totally awesome because they now live in the “big city”. They are ex Tigers, Reds, Twins “fans”.  

The good news here is that the Cardinals and Brewers have improved enough to hopefully keep these assholes out of the playoffs.

The sun does only come out for about 1 month in Chicago, so you can’t really blame the guy

Yeah, they’ve just gone from “Thinking someone actually gives a shit about the Cubs, aren’t we cute with our old shitty stadium” detestable, to we thought we were going to become the Red Sox, but instead became a less successful version of the Cardinals type of detestable.

The Cubs are WAAAAY beyond Cardinals insufferable now. Addison Russel, Sinclair, Dan Snyder level bigotry from Cubs ownership, Wrigleyville becoming an over developed tourist trap, and that doesn’t even account for the historical insufferably of thier drunk stupid fans, the fact that no one gives a shit about the…

That is typical, but the problem is maginfied in St. Louis due to the “city” encompassing only about 10% of the St. Louis Metro area. St. Louis has basically a whole 2nd downtown in Clayton that isn’t even part of the city and yet basically serves as the center of the metro area. If the City actually encomapased the…

It doesn’t have many options then. It’s going to need commuters in basically every city in america not named Chicago or NY. I bet it goes to Atlanta or Austin.

St. Louis has this same merger problem. The reason they are always on the “most dangerous” lists, is because the “city” of St. Louis only incorporates about 10% of the metro area that also happens to also have the most crime.  

Agreed.  Detroit and St. Louis should be choices 1a and 1b.

Yeah, Nashville is not near the cosmopolitan city it thinks itself to be.

Nashville is like St. Louis, KC and Cincy....very centrist. Maybe progressive compared to the rest of the state, but not anything near the leftist places on the coasts. This is a good thing.

So why give incentive to the largest corporation in the country to make it happen quicker?

The real solution is to stop having so many people live in such close proximity to each other. Density is efficient to a point, and then you have to start losing some cost savings simply due to the congestion. The are plenty of mid-sized cities that need this more than New York, and Amazon’s presence will help those…

Atlanta is approximately 6,000,000 people in the metro area. NY is approximately 20,000,000. So much smaller, but it for sure can handle it.  Also has the busiest airport in country.

I agree that there is a wealth gap, that is a product of millions of years of biological programming . Inequality of outcome will always exist.  Extreme tax policy is not going to help that, it will simply pick the winners and losers for you. Most of all, it will allocate resources to a bureaucracy that does a far…

My answer is simple, LOL not everything is a conspiracy by white people.

This would be better in a place like Detroit or St. Louis that have the talent, but can absorb the increase in housing prices.

You are veering off the road, focus.

Show me the law that allows only non-black people to legally carry firearms. I don’t think that exists except in some made up world you are trying to project onto the real one.
