Whatever happens will be absolutely unhinged.
Can’t wait.
Chicago is actually a very safe city; but like all cities there’s crime, ineffective police, and shitty local news.
That said, you’re perfectly safe in most places. Even the historically dangerous neighborhoods are… complicated.
I’ll give you an example. I used to have a job that took me to North Lawndale a few times a week (you can look it up on your own, it’s bleak). Nothing ever happened to me or my car. Shit, it was more likely that someone would would approach me with concern and ask if I needed to be shown the way out of their neighborhood. That happened plenty.
All this to say, there are some absolute angels living in the “dangerous” parts of the city. And, when you live in one of those places, people in power treat you like a criminal from the moment you’re born. Which makes it no surprise that you’d eventually end up with a criminal record.
Get yourself the the Wieners Circle.
It’s worth the experience.
“My soul?” “….I’m going to leave it at home.”
Loved it, as always.
I actually do support the idea that we have a right to end our lives on our own terms.
But, I would say to anyone asking this question that there is so much good left undone in the world that they could make happen.
If you can, don’t end your life. Donate it.
There’s a part of me that thinks blue states need to just rip off that band-aid and find new ways of paying for things.
I know it would be tough as hell to do, of course, but I’d love for my state to tell the feds to kick rocks.
Miss you, Eddie.
King of the Bums. King of my heart.
A nice little cabin in the woods and by a lake.
Far enough from the nearest town that I don’t have neighbors, but close enough that I can reasonably make a grocery run each week.
Vampires, slavers, and directly responsible for the deaths of 10 million infants across the world.
Hell better be hot.
Y’all would like Ivan Illich.
