  1. The government is slobbering for the chance to give all these people cancer. It beats off furiously thinking about dead chicagoans.

  2. The fact that BTC continues to bleed is really scary, and traders are now wondering if this is the right time to invest… before you come to a conclusion, you should look at things first. In recent days, the price of BTC has been fluctuating, which means that the market is currently unstable and it is impossible to say whether it will go down or up. While others continue to trade without fear of losses, others are patient. It all depends on the pattern you are trading and also the source of your signals. I would say that trading is going smoothly for me, I started with 2.5 BTC and in just few weeks I have accumulated over 9.6 BTC, using the trading strategy from my coach Mike Howard..

  3. American want the US manufacturing in Asia back to the US but doesn't want industry? 🙄

  4. What can u do when politicians give tax breaks and subsides to pollute residential air which gives kids asthma and other longer term illnesses.

  5. Good for you ☺️ THANKS

  6. Shout out to George Floyd on 655 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!!!

  7. 1982ー3年以来ミシガン、イリノイ州の産業衰退から変わらない地域の姿と思っています。たとえボーイング社がイリノイ州に移籍してもサプライチェーンが海外勢で間に合わせる経済効率に寄るならば、現状は変わらないです。

  8. Carjacking and jogging are the better industries. Thanks, Lori! 🙂

  9. Thank you so much for this important reporting! Chicagoans are so strong, and especially these students! The world will continue watching Chicago as a model for urban areas protecting citizens from environmental hazards. I grew up in Evanston and the northside, and am enjoying this program in Kyoto, Japan. The world will continue to watch! People over profit!

  10. It's like they want too keep themselves poor.
