Chicago's mayor goes batshit crazy

[SmarterthanYou]

How's this one, the NorthEast, West Coast, SEC States, and all the rest

Texas will get to decide who wants to join our renewed nation.........especially since we have sea ports...........

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Yeah, right, till all the people on them there farms have to go to the others to find work

not at all.........Texas will help arrange sales of surplus food to nations willing to buy it, and then ship it out through the gulf. the farmers will have plenty of money, especially since there will be no property taxes in our new nation

Yep, Mayor Lori Lighthead, or Lightfoot, or whatever that fool's name is is in a bad mood. Seems that somewhere upwards of 3,000 of her police force are refusing to get vaccinated and likely will be put on unpaid leave then fired come Monday.

She's freaking out that the police department will be crippled and can't understand why so many officers are refusing. She calls it an "insurrection." Sounds to me more like a strike that is protesting her idiotic handling and edicts of police action.

'Insurrection' is just a buzzword these days, generally used as an insult.

Massive debt with no plan (or hope really) of dealing with it is just one of the ways we know that Chicago is dying. The disfunction, the refusal to confront realty, reminds me a lot of how Detroit died.

It should. It's exactly the same reason.

Would the new nations have an alliance or would there be a cold war between them?

No. They would not ally.

 

[Into the Night]

It'd be more of a food fight. One would have over-populated shithole cities full of indigent leeches on society, the other would have--among other things--all the farms...

An interesting point. I would agree.

 

[Into the Night]

That's perfect, all the farms, good luck with that one, and last I noticed, America was never defined by all the farms, there ain't a whole lot of people booking trips to Kansas to see all the farms

You just try to get along without 'em.

 

[Into the Night]

Good luck growing all the food you and everyone on the block needs in an urban garden...

Option 1: a pathetic little urban garden like what CHAZ attempted, grown by 'enlightened, educated, college graduates'.
Option 2: miles and miles of crops, harvested by huge machines, grown by 'uneducated rednecks'.

I'll take option 2 any day.
