And “Requiem for a Dream” coming back, the most despair-inducing movie of all time! A great, great movie. Just don’t watch it if you’re even the slightest little bit down.

And there go the last remnants of Better Off Ted. So sad :(

Worse are the ones from the region. No motherfucker, you live in Indiana. You’re not from Chicago.

Every single important city in the US would love this approach. The rural areas would dry up and the cities would prosper like never before, now that they don’t have to support people in the country. I would love to see how Texas does if only Houston and Dallas left, the entire state would be dirt poor in no time flat.

illinois is a shit state that would be nothing without chicago, hope that helps

I love this. Where a person living in a rural part of the state laments the presence of the large city that is essentially subsidizing their entire life. We have the same issue in New York.

Dude. Illinois is a hellhole **except** for Chicago.

And comparing Chicago to Detroit - I take it you’ve never actually visited Chicago before, have you? It’s beautiful and in the middle of an economic boom. You’re very misinformed.

LOL, that’s cute.

I live in Chicago, and I fully support us breaking away.

Chicago is the only reason why Illinois is relevant and isn’t considered along the same lines as Indiana and Wisconsin.

You really want to dump the portion of the state that generates 70% of the state income tax revenue, even though it’s only 60% of the state’s population?

fuck you, we pay for you to exist. ill without chicago a massive welfare state.

NO, if Chicago breaks away those of us down in the south will be in a red state and will have nothing to lord over the dummies next door in Missouri.

As a Chicago native, please believe that I’ve forever wished that Chicago could break away and form it’s own state. All the red counties outside of Cook can go to fucking hell. And the next time someone from Schaumburg or Crystal Lake tells me they’re from Chicago I’m gong to stab them in the eye.

Hahahahaha sure dude, we’ll split off and be a state called Chicagoland, and you all can live in “OMG holy shit we have no money for anything”. Enjoy that.

HAHAHAHA Park Forest. It’s one of the suburbs furthest from Chicago that, like the rest of the southern suburbs, is an economically poor, business-less wasteland, full of cheap land, old, decrepit businesses that have been gone for decades, and a place where there is absolutely nothing to do.

How are Asian Americans disadvantaged in the areas that affirmative action addresses? Sure as hell isn’t education or employment. As an Asian American, I hate when right wing assholes use us to rationalize their racist victimhood fantasy and white supremacy - almost as much as bothsiderism.

He can see the writing on the wall. He just doesn’t know what it says.

One thing is for certain, this whole gesture is lost on Floyd Mayweather.
