Looking for Info

Schools are cancelled pretty much for the year. Sports seasons are being delayed.

Anyone hear anything about the summer festival and parade seasons? Taste of Chicago? Marathon? Air and Water Show?

And seeing as how schools aren't in session and parks are closed, all those speed cameras around that are supposedly only active "When Children are Present" or when parks are open....are the fines still being mailed out? Is this a soon-to-be lucrative Class Action suit on the part of some legal eagles?

Governor One-Man-Mass-Gathering has discovered that you can't run a state that has no businesses open, so he's re-visiting the already ruined state budget. Prickwrinkle is refusing to post numbers or estimates. Lightfoot is going to have the same issues. Years of democrat mismanagement are about to come front-and-center and you can count on tens-of-thousands more Illinoisans becoming ex-Illinoisans shortly.

It's a safe bet that very few large gatherings are going to be had anywhere for a long time. Even the optimistic infection models are based on the notion that people will go back to work but mostly stay away from each other until ~80% of them develop immunity.

Very high probability that the long term effects of this will kill the EU and bankrupt several US states. Nontrivial chance that it will also catalyze the looming debt crisis, which if it comes to pass will be utterly apocalyptic. No two ways about it, the world is deep shit financially and it's everybody's damn fault for decades of bad behavior at all levels of society.

The politicians have made this flu a crisis that they are crashing the economy for political purposes.

No matter how overblown it is something has to give. The brakes on the economy have to be released. Or there will be economic devastation.

No one can admit that the death numbers are not astronomical. We need to get on with life.

Staff from the Park District are saying Blues Fest, Gospel Fest, Taste of Chicago and Air & Water Show are cancelled. The city won’t have the money and the corporate sponsors won’t either. Lollapalooza is another story. CB2 paid for a multi-year deal. Not sure how a pandemic effects that contract. Lolla brought in a lot...and I mean a lot of money for the city and tourist industry. If we loose all the downtown festivals, restaurants and hotels (and Boeing and McDonalds) Chicago really will look like Detroit by next year. Get ready for the roaring Twenties boys and girls...

This Wuflu virus has been a huge over reaction. This doesn't make sense to go this overboard. Those that have underlying health issues should hunker down. We may see something worst than the Great Depression at the rate we're going. If the status quo is maintained thru Summer than we're all screwed. Over 60%of small businesses will collapse and unemployment will be over 40%. I blame a lot of the overreaction on the media. 24 hour panic mode coverage. I bet if the government told people to place a giant turd on top of their head to stop the spread of the Wuflu Virus that 97% would comply. Critical thinking and common sense is gone.

They really dont want to cancel the Taste and Lolopaloosa because they make money for the city and that is pretty far away. Just like football. I would say Hockey, Basjetball and Baseball have issues. And forget the police getting a signed contract anytime soon. You wont be getting any retro pay or big increases. The city will cry poor and the police can't gave any job action because that is illegal. Lightfoot has just about completely demoralized the rank and file with this ass kisser David Brown from Dallas. He made reference to Michelle Obama and Lori asking him to come here. On the bewsthismorning he was acting like he knows Chicago calling it the Windy city, Chi Town. Go home before Jessie and Father Pleger get a hold on you. Bobby Rush too.

Congratulations and now a few questions for Superintendent Brown ?
Will you start promoting small groups of Sergeants from the December 2019 Test in Rank Order ?
Post a list from the Top score to the lowest passing score of 50% .
Start enforcing grooming and uniform standards .
Assign Sergeants as Inspectors , eliminate the political rank of Captain .
Have a look at IG reports , recommendation to fire captain Escamerit escamila , dump who ever assigned him to Inspection Division I doubt you want a person that should have been fired for hiding guns in his locker , to be used for who knows what as a patrolman
End Merit Promotions in all ranks
Reduce Command Staff , help save our pension
Look at Police Desk area in 5 , 11 on 1st watch , filled with homeless , carrying disease , could be a future way for a terrorist attack , this has to end , plexiglass to protect desk crew , walk in citizens should be allowed in 1 at a time from a waiting room , buzzed in by desk set . CPD is top heavy with Merit . I hope you will end this unfair system .
Wishing you the Best , read your background , you had a tough career and many tragedies in your Family Life . You are a True Street COP , I think you will do good and stand up for the men and women on CPD .
Wear the Uniform , you earned it . Make CPD proud .

Don't forget the big trade shows scheduled for McCormick Place - soon to be Lighthead Memorial Hospital. The IRCE Retail show was scheduled for June 9th - brings in 20,000 +, exhibitors and visitors.

NeoCon, the massive furniture show was expecting 50,000 visitors and is scheduled for June 8th.

Many of these cancelled shows have no plans to return to McCormick Place.

Thankfully we have Governor Fred Flinstone to figure out how to make up for the losses in jobs and revenue.

With regard to Chicago traffic

I guess we found out that all of Chicago's traffic congestion problems are caused by non-essential driving eh.

4/03/2020 09:58:00 AM


We could ease traffic if the city would cut down on bussing school kids, send them to a school within a mile of home. They can walk to the nearest school like everyone used to do. We aren't living in the boonies where the nearest school may be ten miles away. There are several schools within each square mile of this city. Tell the parents to let their kids walk, no dropping them off. Just drive past past these schools before classes begin and at dismissal? Total bedlam. Parents double and triple parked, blocking traffic just to pick up their kids. And dont give that "its too dangerous for the kids to walk to school" routine. What are we paying those safe passage stiffs for then?

I say this...If on Friday your employer sent out a mass email saying that "starting Monday, all employees will be working from home." Then when this is all over... they need TO ALL BE WORKING FROM HOME FOR GOOD!!. Stop the congestion, stop the commuting to downtown, stop the parking congestion, WORK FROM FUCKING HOME!! This has proven YOU CAN!! Studies show (Bing them) that BILLIONS are wasted every year by idling in stop & go traffic.

***********************
Saw a critique of this post earlier. I have to agree with the post. Two winters ago, 61,000 people died from the flu in the US alone. I am not disagreeing that the Covid-19 flu isn’t bad (killed a number of people in the elderly home in Willowbrook) - it’s killing those with respiratory issues. They should stay home. Our unemployment rate will be at 15% soon - during the Great Recession it topped out at 10 percent. If this economy continues like this for three months or more, you will have massive and I mean MASSIVE debt defaults. It will take years - a really really long time to recover. Meanwhile millions will loose everything. The cure will be worse than the disease. We will have more suicides than people dying from Covid-19 - it will NOT be worth it. I wish JB and Lightbrain where this concerned about all the murders in Chicago annually. Don’t buy into the media bullshit. Yes people will die, but that’s nature - you can’t stop nature. People who are already sick (with lung issues) are those who are dying. The rest of us probably would be better off getting sick and building an immunity.

Great! An excuse for the long line of fiscally irresponsible Democrats to blame financial mishandling on for decades to come. They’ll cut the fat alright. It will be for the middle class city worker employed by the city. All the while find more ways to give handouts. They have no concept of needing a middle class to keep this city up & running. Unless their plan is to rearrange who is middle class, but that won’t ever happen because some people understand that you become middle class by actually getting out of bed and going to work everyday. You don’t become middle class by getting handouts. Those special privileges are reserved for the permanent poor class & the rich.

McCormick Place, under the direction of FEMA & The Army Corps of Engineers, are working diligently to get ready to take patients starting April 20. We are getting regular updates from McCormick Place to understand what methods are being used to get ready for patients and what the sanitation / cleansing process looks like when this is over, so we can be assured McCormick will be safe for trade shows to resume in June and for our arrival in September."

I know people in the trade show business for world wide companies. They are not coming back anytime soon, definitely not this year. Some will never come back.

Thanks his gives Fatso the perfect excuse to open the State Constitution and get out from under the pension debt. Don’t think they are not talking and planning for that. Would solve the unsolveable problem. Better have a plan B now more than ever.

4/03/2020 07:52:00 PM

It is too late to get that on the November ballot. AND, YES, they have been talking and planning that for 5-6 years now. But, it will have to wait until the next statewide election

Taxes ...will be the first thing raised....then fees...and other bullshit where possible.

4/03/2020 08:23:00 AM

If the voters approve the constitutional change in state taxes, then I suspect that the state will use this virus/fiscal crisis to start taxing pensions. Most states do tax pensions and the democrats have talked about this before.

About Ferguson....The patrol cop told Brown and his companion to get on the sidewalk instead of doing the St. Louis stroll ( not jaywalking but walking down the middle of the fucking street). When a radio report of the robbery hit the air the cop went back and that's when the shit hit the fan. About Garner....Garner was well known to NYC cops and their Marxist Mayor had prioritized arresting loosey cig salesmen who were competing with the highest priced smokes in the U.S. A merchant who sold legal and taxed cigs made the call to police about Garner selling loosies outside his front door. Garner plainly resisted and a black female officer gave the take down order. You now have a PC Oprah approved top cop, Chicago.

The Last Thing Illinois Needs Is a Tax Hike

By Jared D. Carl - RCP Contributor April 4th, 2020

"There's no question the economic devastation caused by the coronavirus pandemic will have far-reaching consequences for businesses, governments, and families across America. In fiscally mismanaged blue states like Illinois, the ramifications will be especially severe.

For decades, Illinois has been governed by spendthrift politicians who thought that prosperity could be achieved through government action. As a result, Illinoisans have been subject to zealous regulation, a myriad of high taxes, and government spending that continually outpaces revenues. This has led to mass outmigration of taxpayers, sluggish economic growth, and a public pension system that teeters on the edge of insolvency.

Illinois was thus particularly ill-prepared for the current moment. In mid-March, the state’s so-called rainy-day fund was a paltry $1.19 million, and state officials now predict the cost of the pandemic will exceed $8 billion – about 20% of the state budget. Cue a steep increase in pension liabilities, borrowing, and budget deficits. And, of course, taxes.

Meanwhile, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, brother to former Obama Cabinet member Penny Pritzker, has used the coronavirus outbreak to position himself on the national stage. He uses Twitter to criticize the president and has been making the rounds on cable news shows.

But while Pritzker seeks to establish his legacy, what the governor will be remembered for most is seeking to raise taxes during a public health and economic crisis and presiding over Illinois’ ultimate demise.

Despite Pritzker’s branding as a sensible businessman who would finally solve the state’s fiscal problems, he has embraced a progressive agenda and doubled down on Illinois’ failed tax-and-spend strategy. As the governor appears on talk shows and in press conferences expressing his concern for the businesses hurt by the pandemic, he’s simultaneously seeking to raise their taxes.

Pritzker and his political allies have put on the ballot an amendment to the state constitution that would replace Illinois’ flat income tax rate with graduated rates that would hit businesses and job creators particularly hard. The rate increases would make Illinois home to the second-highest corporate income tax rate in the country, and the fourth-highest rate on pass-through income.

The governor has been called on to remove the tax increase from the ballot. But even as the state of Illinois offers small businesses grants to help them weather the economic shutdown, Pritzker refuses to take his tax increase proposal off the table. He shrugged off the suggestion by saying, “This is not a time for politics.”

How ironic.

Across the country, Americans are doing their part to “flatten the curve.” Mere weeks ago, “non-essential” businesses were the fabric of daily life. In the intervening weeks, businesses, and especially small business owners, have jeopardized their futures in order to help save lives.

It appears the only ones who aren’t willing to change are those who run the state of Illinois.

Illinois was a cautionary tale before the onset of COVID-19; now, by refusing to back down from raising taxes on businesses, Gov. Pritzker lays bare the heartless and destructive logic of progressive politics..."

Stop watching and listening to the liberal news media because it’s all nonsense. This virus has resulted in 6k deaths which is less than the common flu for the same amount of time. Stop being a sheep. Wake the fuck up. We need to get people back to work so our economy can get going again.

You know why folks here are ignoring the posts you have been doing here everyday for the past few weeks?

Because most here are law enforcement or family of, friends of and they know what is happening.

They have family and friends directly affected by this covid-19, some have died and others are sick, they have the facts.

There is no vaccine for this now and won't be until maybe May 2021.

The economy will get back in shape in time, life will go on.

You can't use money or work if your are in a hospital dying.

Go troll elsewhere.

Approximately 80% of those who have died HAVE UNDERLYING SERIOUS MEDICAL ISSUES. COVID-19 did not kill these people, sure, this flu strain is strong, but it ITSELF is not THE reason why someone died. The original poster is correct and you are hysterical with fear.

You probably think Dr Fauci and Dr Birx don't have an agenda either! Do some research and stop relying on the propaganda c eye a driven narrative from the MSM.
4/04/2020 12:32:00 AM

Say it was the only the flu to OFFICER DI FRANCO'S family, friends and fellow officers who put their lives on the line with the dangerous undercover work they do.
Call Homan Square and them covid-19 did not kill Officer Di Franco and explain to them what actually killed him since you have all of the answers! Even the President says things are bad, but maybe you think he is a lizard person now. You are hysterical with conspiracy theories.
I care about my friends who are in law enforcement do you?

Governor Cuomo, Prickster , mayor de Blasio , Lightfoot all showed leadership , closing schools , businesses all on their own .
None of them supported President Trump when he wanted closed borders , end of sanctuary city ,states or when he stopped travel from China . All have same source of information from WHO , news from chineses virus 🦠 in Whuhun , Not one of them ended large gatherings , conventions , stopped tourist from entering their cities ,state . None began ordering protective gear for first responders , health care workers .
They are all do nothings , goal to raise taxes on middle class , extend welfare to illegals and make money from contracts with political donors

What is cost of pay g non working te@chers , supply of breakfast , lunch for CPS.
Give parents cereal , powdered milk , pasta . Let them prepare breakfast and lunch .
Do they think the par3nts neglect their children ? No they just want kickbacks , donations from providers of these services .
Where is the IG . BGA on this scam ?

1968 Hong Kong Flu Pandemic. We shut NOTHING DOWN. 1 million dead, 100,000 in USA. A hiccup. 2020, another China pandemic, this one from a bat or a laboratory. Projections of millions dead in the USA, oh wait, maybe a 100,000. No wait, this thing is peaking now and the numbers for mass casualties aren't there. We committed economic suicide for a pandemic that probably won't rival the 1968 Hong Kong Flu Pandemic. There is something rotten here and nothing good will come from this.

It's the only way the media and democrats think they can beat Trump crash the economy!
