Her list would be shorter putting only people who don’t hate ICE on it.

Wouldn’t it pop like a balloon?

To anyone smarter than a lemming (the animal, not you fuckers), it was since before that dreadful escalator trip to hell in 2015.

Yes, you’ll be wining and dining in their overcrowded and cramped mess hall, complete with all the amenities like metal benches and concrete flooring. Your exposed skin will literally ‘sizzle’ against the metal bars of your ‘all expenses paid’ vacation to the sweltering humidity of Americas dong.

And you’ll be getting there in your BRAND. NEW. PRISON BUS, care of tax payer funding, an over-burdened police state, and CEFCU (for some reason)!

And it’s IL where we throw mutha fuckin govs in prison for corruption.

I’ve lived in IL my whole life. For half of that, the state was so corrupt that multiple governors were indicted for various crimes and ended up in jail. After Blagoyavich or whatever his name was, the pendulum swung hard back the other way. Today, after being a state employee for the last 15-years in addition to living here, I am glad we have accountability. I feel safe knowing my state and local cops can be held to account when things like this happen. It makes me, and them I’d like to think, feel safer in the community.

Nothing and no one is perfect, but Pritzker will probably go down as one of the better governors this state has had. And that’s saying something from a closeted anarchist who has despised this system for decades!

It’s worse than gambling. When gambling there’s risk and reward, but bad bets are still the responsibility of the player just like bets that outperform. In stocks, if someone makes a bet and/or the company misses their expected returns, the gambler can sue the company. It’s the only gambling where oops, all losses can still result in payoff for the player by fiduciary class-action lawsuit.

I played meme-stocks in 2020-21. I saw that bullshit first-hand, getting half a dozen emails after quarter misses about suing the company over their failure to meet projections. But half of those companies were just getting fucked with because of the influx of idiots like me doing silly shit with their money! I was blown away by that and suddenly started to see how fucked we were to do anything to stop the cancer that unregulated capitalism has become. Infinite growth, impossible in a finite system, is not only expected, but failure to return positive returns could be met with shareholders suing the company for line not go up high enough reasons.

It’s so messed up.
