[Collin Corbett @CollinCorbett]

Politics is the only thing holding up a Bears deal.

JB Pritzker can't be tied to anything that looks like it helps billionaire sports owners if he wants to run for President in a Democratic primary.

Darren Bailey and Republicans secretly want the Bears to go to Indiana so they can hang it around Pritzker's neck in the upcoming election.

Brandon Johnson would rather see the Bears go to Indiana than help the suburbs.

Chicago legislators want their palms greased before voting yes.

This is why we're building an Independent movement. Because in Illinois, common sense rarely prevails over politics. And everyday Illinoisans keep paying the price.

Serious question: why on Earth does the Mayor of Chicago need a trip to Italy? What does that have to do with running Chicago when he can’t even do that properly? How much taxpayer money is being spent on said trip?

[Austin Berg @Austin__Berg]

Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates is joining Mayor Brandon Johnson on his trip to Italy this week.

Notably, both Gates and Johnson have been berating other public officials for weeks to fight for more Chicago Public Schools funding from Springfield.

“The house is on fire,” Gates told the school board two weeks ago. “You get water.”

With Springfield’s legislative session ending May 31, Gates and Johnson have elected to spend time 5,000 miles away from the Capitol.

⚡️Gen Z is living inside a broken time horizon.

That is the real issue.

A $28 lunch is obviously dumb if repeated daily. At the personal level, Kevin O’Leary is right. Small leaks become real holes. People who cannot control recurring expenses usually cannot build capital. Discipline still matters. The math still matters. Nobody gets exempt from compounding because the system is unfair.

But the reason the lecture feels hollow is because the old system used to reward discipline with visible progress. Pack lunch, save money, buy a house, start a family, invest, build a career, retire. Sacrifice was tied to a future that felt reachable.

Now the future feels priced out.

That changes behavior at the root. When housing feels unreachable, careers feel unstable, healthcare feels predatory, dating feels broken, children feel unaffordable, and AI threatens the entry-level ladder, thrift loses its sacred function. It stops feeling like a bridge to ownership and starts feeling like self-denial inside a game already lost.

That is how financial nihilism forms.

People do not say it directly. They say, “I deserve a little treat.” They say, “Everything is expensive anyway.” They say, “What’s the point?” They say, “I’ll never own a house.” They say, “At least lunch makes the day tolerable.”

The $28 lunch becomes a tiny rebellion against a future they do not believe will arrive.

That is why older personal-finance commentary keeps missing the emotional layer. The old advice assumes the listener still believes in delayed gratification. But delayed gratification only works when the delay has a credible endpoint. If the endpoint disappears, delayed gratification starts to feel like humiliation.

So young people consume the present because the future has stopped making a persuasive offer.

There is also a status layer. A lot of modern consumption is not about the object. It is about maintaining self-respect in a system where people feel economically powerless. Coffee, lunch, delivery, clothes, trips, subscriptions, gadgets, nightlife, little comforts. These become micro-status and micro-control. They let people feel briefly like participants in abundance even while their actual ownership path deteriorates.

That is the trap. The spending is both understandable and destructive.

The system damages the future, then sells little present-tense anesthetics to the people who lost faith in it.

Delivery apps, fast casual, lifestyle brands, streaming, subscriptions, social media, gambling, crypto speculation, “self-care,” buy-now-pay-later. All of it feeds on broken time preference. The more unreachable the future feels, the more valuable immediate relief becomes.

That is the real sickness.

A healthy civilization teaches young people: sacrifice now and something real becomes yours later.

A decaying civilization teaches young people: sacrifice now and maybe you still lose, so consume enough to keep functioning.

The $28 lunch is not why Gen Z is financially cooked.

It is what a cooked generation buys on its lunch break.

Since Spirit Airlines began service in 1992, they never had a fatal crash. They're closing down with a perfect record.

Every Spirit flight that ever took off landed safely.

Southwest Airlines debuts a special new livery aircraft in honor of America's 250th birthday: Independence One, registration N1776R.

Perhaps most eye-catching: "Red, white, and blue paint scheme with 1776 written in giant quill script, and the key phrase, 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' from the Declaration of Independence and the three inalienable rights endowed to all humans," the airline says.

Umm it’s still painful regardless of source

[JT Singh @FranchiseMnA]

If W2 employees didn't have their taxes withheld automatically and had to separately pay quarterly/annual taxes, 95% of America would be republicans

Only when you have to write that fat quarterly check after seeing the money in your account do you realize how painful it is
