Chicago, Detroit, NYC are all fucked; if you live there, too bad for you pal.

Were you really expecting any different?

If you like your civilization, you can't have your civilization. Let the pidgin war whoops and spear shaking begin. The Golden Goose of Chicago is being roasted and killed for a quick snack before the real havoc begins.

After the radical Lightfoot lost in the run up to the general, and, finishing so badly, there was some degree of hope. With violent crime way up under Lightfoot, you would think that enough voters would have come to their senses. Instead, the radical leftist Johnson beat a moderate that ran on an anti-crime, pro-police platform.

The Right leaning news enables the election theft and fraud, by legitimizing the turnout with headlines that blames the voters for the outcome.
At this point, we can assume every election is crooked and fixed as FUCK, and should not be taking seriously by any self respecting intelligent man.
You just cannot trust a process that you are not allowed to question, and those in charge refuse to prove all is on the up and up. .

Chicago was barely unleashed feral when I went there already. Wonderful downtown and walklng city to the Loop, great museums and culture, fabulous architecture and history, Lakefront stretches are very nice, lots of bread and circuses in summer and fall. However, I was threatened by an innominate person of ethnicity in the lobby of a four star hotel because I wouldn't purchase his stolen Euros, and nobody in the hotel staffs seemed to care or to do anything to stop this. If you aren't stuffing bills in hands everywhere you go, you are remanded to the elements. It's like constant urban bribery, shakedowns and informal tolls for safe passage or common courtesy. A taxi driver tried to steal my luggage, pretending it was an inadvertent drive off.

I made the mistake of taking the L by myself to go down to the Natural History Museum. On the way back, I was alone on the platform except for two innominates, a woman and a man, 60 feet away from me on either side, and they both started simultaneously pointing at me at the same time and screaming. The trains got to me before they did, but it was scary. Violence shallow beneath the surface there is scalding. The downtown areas were only kept safe as a kind of ongoing police state holding back the Hun so the Midwestern tourists could have their fun and shopping.
