This will make your head explode, if you can decipher it

I was born and raised in Chicago. 10 years in the city, 20 years in the burbs until I moved to Iowa. That city is now dead. 30% storefront vacancy rate on the Magnificent Mile, probably one of the top 3 shopping destinations in the country. One out of three storefronts are empty.

Even when I moved to Wisconsin 20 years ago I used to have Blackhawks season tickets, we’d go downtown around Christmas and walk around State Street and North Michigan avenue to see the storefronts, eat at excellent restaurants, and basically walk on foot throughout downtown.

Now, I wouldn’t even think of it.

Random roving groups of hood rats roam the streets looking for trouble, openly shoplift, etc.  Last year a random guy got his throat slit on North Michigan Avenue in the Mag Mile shopping district and literally died in the middle of the street. Are you fucking kidding me?

Bongino's take today is that the balloon was not about spying, more about China saying we own you and can do anything we want.

I think this could be an inside job to remove him from office. They plant the material, let it be known to the world where it was at, and tell the media to run with it. They then pull Joe aside and tell him to step down with the promise of a pardon for him and his son. Now they can let Harris sink on her own and get brand new candidates for the next election.

Lenders can now hit the killl switch if you don't pay your car payment.

For what insurance, and more expensive than where?
Yeah, windstorm insurance is more expensive, as is flood insurance.
And car insurance is kind of expensive because of all the New Yorkers crowding our highways and driving like, well, like New Yorkers.
