@EducatedFool312 @chicagobars I need to know more about this. (Any key words I can search? I don't expect anyone to give me a 2 decade rundown of Aldermanic history)
I can’t fully blame these people because culturally we see car crashes as “accidental" and not the result of systemic failure from all levels of government. you can’t know about a better way to do things if you’ve never been exposed to it and you’re constantly gaslit.
I don’t have much patience for people who look at the US traffic crash data and say that the tens of thousands of deaths from car crashes are “accidental". Even if they are, why have we designed streets in a way where someone’s careless mistake results in death?
@citybloomington I want you guys to look at the city's response (which is dumb and puts the onus on the victim and other non-motorists), and explore the city's and the university's response to rape and sexual assault.
There are similarities.
I'll see myself out.
@tiredcoachphd @HannahntheWolf I always felt like I was depressed bc America isn't exactly the Dreamland it makes itself out to be and that's quite a bit to reconcile. Twitter has really helped articulate all the ways that health/illness here is systemic.
@tressiemcphd Tbh, I'm looking for when we can bring class action law suit against the federal government and the CDC for minimizing Covid, encouraging ppl to go to the offices, and stop masking.
I'm looking at both administrations.
I'm pissed.
People's lives have been significantly altered.
@kennedytcooper It should be listed on the menu. Right? How is this not idk, some sort of fraud?
Like what if you couldn't afford it after the secret inflation fee was tacked on?
They offer a good& service for a stated price, you agree to that and then boom- extra price?
Idk
@6figga_dilla I want to hear about why parts of the blue line got shut down.
I want to hear about those silos by the 55 (what are they)
I want to hear about the conservatories and zoos and the cook county forest preserves.
And anything else cools that I can't think of.
