#1 Again!!!

Leading major cities in total murders for years.

Most rat infested city for a decade or so. Same with bedbugs.

Top of the list for multi-billion dollar industries leaving town.

Now, worst oxygen:

  • Chicago officially has the worst air quality in the world.

    As a haze of Canadian wildfire smoke blanketed the metro area, no other major city in the world had air pollution worse than Chicago as of midday Thursday, according a world ranking by IQ Air, a Swiss air-technology company.

    “The air quality is officially dangerous in Chicago,” says Brian Urbaszewski, director of environmental health programs at the Chicago-based Respiratory Health Association. “It’s going to send people to the emergency room. Some people may die because of what they’re breathing,” he said.

It's supposed to be Canadian wildfires, but some claim it's the amount of lead in the air, too.

Poor air quality is actually coming from the midnight desk guy, Dave T. All that shit he spews from his mouth is really starting to add up.

It’s all the twerking that’s been going on this summer. Dirty booties are spreading all that ashiness in the air.

A recent review of IL Policy Institute has IL and/or Chicago leading the pack in many categories that do not provide a confidence inspiring outlook (deep financial holes that if they continue we may bump into Hop Sing's relatives).

We should worry about lead poising from shootings in Chicago, not Canadian air. Wake up Chicago.

How about higher tariffs on Canadian goods until they get their forests under control.

Pure bullshit. They burn coal, wood, and dung to heat their homes throughout the former Eastern Block and much of Southwest Asia. There are no pollution controls on vehicles.
China is so bad in the cities that solar doesn’t work at all.
That company is trying to sell their bullshit. Chicago may be hazardous some days, but it is nothing compared to third world countries.

A high precentage of toxic lead in the air from all the guns being fired too.

Funny how you MUST take in car for emissions and yet a County's Province can not control "wildfires" of late! Unreal!

The air is far less likely to kill you than the people (folks) with whom you share that air.

Yup, that’s the wildfires. This is like the 4th time it’s happened the last handful of years, always has the same smell. It’s not a conspiracy by “big fire” and they’re blaming Canadian wildfires, it’s just Canadian wildfires again.

Yesterday Chicago for a while was actually worse than anywhere in the world. You do understand that the air quality is measurable, right?
