I am cool with it.

While Brandon Johnson does has a chance of winning, I am so disappointed that only 33.2% of voters turned out. Not sure if this is 33.2% of the 70% registered to vote or an actual 1/3rd.

I want automatic voter registration for every high school graduate.

abc News interviewed Paul Vallas. "I've focused ... on quality schools.

Such a bald-faced lie. He has focused on school vouchers. If you have quality schools, then giving away private school tuition is not an issue.

I should clarify that Canadians are not campaigning for Johnson but they support his voter drive. Canadians (most of them) believe people should vote.

The people who do not vote never watched V for Victory. I am holding my breath and hoping people show up tomorrow at the polls with 2 pieces of government Id and vote.

link? i will send ten bucks

Awesome. I just asked for it.

I just launched the new Bing and chatted about the best way to serve cherries. Cherries Wild Rice came up. It has almonds, celery, vinegar, orange juice and of course cherries and wild rice.

So I asked where do I get wild rice and wanted to know more about Moose River online store. New Bing said here is a screenshot of the page.

Then when I said I do not see it, New Bing replied that the chat window does not support images.

!!!!!!!

? It has been a while. There is an Ontario near Vancouver and interestingly in Peru.

Was I thinking of Toronto?

City and province like New York, New York, USA

It is good that not everyone has this problem.

Entrance is reserved. Imagine being born and raised in the town and not able to go to the park.

Friends of mine live in an area where the parks are Reservation only and they were all taken in the time it took to navigate the menu.

So who is selling?

Mar 23, 2023 2:29 PM EDTRALEIGH, N.C. (AP) A Medicaid expansion deal in North Carolina received final legislative approval on Thursday, capping a decade of debate over whether the closely politically divided state should accept the federal governments coverage for hundreds of thousands of low-income adults

Improving ventilation in public places is always a good idea.

A friend of a friend lives in Canada and belongs to an organization which is raising money for Brandon. The stakes are serious.

Trailer friendly zoning is only a threat to big land owners. The rest of us have been trained to feel threatened. All of us feel threatened because we have trained. If I am honest, me too.

If Brandon Johnson wins April 4, affordable housing is a thing.

Land ownership and land rights are different.

Mineral rights is an obvious difference but there is also zoning and government infrastructure. (Water, sewage)

Zoning is the big one. If people could just move their trailers to the better school district or the safer area, this would be a change for the better for most urban Americans.

Imagine taking your trailer to a safer neighborhood or just closer to work.

The problem with trailer parks is a problem which is not our problem.

You want to be near the museums, the waterfront, the nightlife or maybe the better schools of the city for your kids? Start an online coop, buy a home and replace it with a 25 story (subscription) trailer park.

Maybe someday we will be as efficient in constructing a building as we are in building a trailer.

Until that day we should alleviate the housing shortage with highrise trailer parks. You get a space, water, gas, electricity and you get a sewer hook up. Maintaining the infrastructure of the be park should be less costly than that of a house or building.

How about segregating and distributing the data compression methods? Among the AI so that each AI has a different set and comparison is possible?

In our future we may be totally dependent on these entities. More data than we can personally process.

Youre invited to try Bard, an early experiment by Google

Mayor Harold Washington made Chicago a Sanctuary City in 1985 https://news.wttw.com/2023/01/14/welcome-chicago-exploring-what-it-means-be-sanctuary-city.

Why else is Vallas talking up police empowerment and Lightfoot discredited than the need to erase this protection?

What discrepancies in your knowledge will come about as a result of data compression?

Awesome. I hope they are able to conserve them.

Fighting is part of life but you also have to plan and build and conciliate.

1rst, 2nd century Rome was trading with India and China.

No more people will come out and vote.

Yes. But such blatant media suppression shows Chicago is in worse shape than I can comprehend.

Finally found a major media mention of Bernie Sander's stop in Chicago.

Chicago Tribune's facebook. Being as the trib endorsed Vallas maybe the trib put it on Facebook to show they are cool without really making it accessible.

I just heard this today although it happened Feb 23. I take Brandon at his word but it is strange that the only internet source is Johnson's Facebook.

Isn't this news?

Did City of Chicago actually hand out the money???

Chicago famously hands out vouchers but never processes the money that is supposed to go with it.

Do you know anyone who got a gas card via this program?

https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/mayor/press_room/press_releases/2022/march/TransportationCostRelief.html

In the real world data gets compressed. I wonder how this impacts a credit score?

And the other nitty gritties of r/l

School voucher pays $4,000. If you have 4 kids then over his reign a typical Chi mayor has paid you $64K for your vote.

Paul Vallas

Registered to vote as a republican in 2020 primary

Was endorsed by Republican Party

Kicked off his campaign with Awake IL

Chicago school district was found to be broke, out of funds, when he left.

**********

As we all know, none of the above will prevent him from being elected.

Vallas could win. He will be the worst mayor. We have had plenty of bad mayors- Daley and Daley so yeah Vallas could win.

Are you campaigning for Vallas? Did you vote for Vallas? Or can you just not wrap your head around any American can be mayor?

None of what you say matters if the GD's and VLs are unloading on each other in neighborhoods and districts that need development and business investment to become livable and thriving. BJ's policies and proposals don't pivot much from what Lightfoot proposed to do in her 2018 campaign.

Lightfoot is way better than Vallas.

@EnterTheTekken

get over yourself. As if I am crushed that Vallas or Catanzara or Donald Trump support ranked voting.

As if Brandon Johnson does not support ranked voting.

This is not a personality thing. Although Johnson is way cooler than Vallas, I would still vote for BJ if he was as old and ugly as Vallas.

You have jobs, housing, food, medicine, education, roads-gas-publictrans at stake and oh golly let us

Focus on ranked voting and cops on every corner

Because having a place to live is not an issue when you own your home and have a secure income.

Beside the point. We need the housing. Dissolving it because it is racist does not provide housing or lessen racism.

My point is. We have a housing shortage because of razing public housing

Likely true for other cities

The CHA was created in 1937 to own and operate housing built by the federal government's Public Works Administration. In addition to providing affordable housing for low-income families and combating blight, it also provided housing for industry workers during World War II and returning veterans after the war. By 1960, it was the largest landlord in Chicago. In 1965, a group of residents sued the CHA for racial discrimination. After the landmark court decision Gautreaux v. Chicago Housing Authority (see below), the CHA was placed in receivership, which would last for more than 20 years. Things continued to deteriorate for the agency and its residents, and by the 1980s, the high concentrations of poverty and neglected infrastructure were severe. The Chicago Housing Authority Police Department was created in 1989 to provide dedicated policing for what had become one of the most impoverished and crime-ridden housing developments in the country, and was dissolved only ten years later. The situation was so dire that the entire CHA board of commissioners resigned in 1995, effectively handing over control of the agency to Housing and Urban Development. After an extensive overhaul, management of the CHA was returned to a new board of commissioners, including three residents appointed by resident groups, in 1999. The previously ordered receivership ended in 2010.[3][4][5][6]

So 1937 built all this housing. Letting it deteriorate was not enough. It was " oh, look, crime. We will get rid of the responsibility to provide housing because it is crime ridden and we are making you safe by closing it."

Now. Housing shortage.

I do not like this restriction. The reason for it is that teens are poor. Suppose instead of just showing you adds chrome restricted your searches according to income?

First teens, then seniors, then ...

Vallas would be worse than Lightfoot.

When I voted by mailin ballot for Brandon I felt I was risking my vote but enough people voted for him.

I really wish we had ranked voting.

They are calling Brandon Johnson for runner up. So mayor is possible in the run off

What weight do you give Fox News as opposed to BBC News?

Here's the issue. Our culture is playing you.

Dark is my fave but I enjoy all chocolate. There is nothing wrong with milk chocolate per se: just that lower quality chocolate is usually milk chocolate.
