@Chicago9811 @ishmaelrufus @magyardemon @greenfieldjohn @ChicagoMPO @GovPritzker @_atalliance @RTA_Chicago @Metroplanners @humantransit Assuming you and 2 friends all ride the CTA 200 times each per year, the odds of you all being the victim of a violent crime during Brandon Johnson’s tenure would be 1 in 34.8 million. 0.000000287% chance. 1 in 11.4 billion for 3 friends. How many friends are we talking

@Chicago9811 @ishmaelrufus @magyardemon @greenfieldjohn @ChicagoMPO @GovPritzker @_atalliance @RTA_Chicago @Metroplanners @humantransit Are you saying you and multiple folks you talk with have experienced violent crime on the CTA or that you saw homeless people and had to say no to someone asking for money on a train

[Sam Stamper @_samstamper]

@Chicago9811 @magyardemon @greenfieldjohn @ChicagoMPO @GovPritzker @_atalliance @RTA_Chicago @Metroplanners @humantransit Violent crime stats include robberies. We can agree that the perception of CTA and general experience could be cleaned up a bit, but it is 2x safer per ride than driving.

Definitely more likely to see a naked dude on the CTA vs a car though lol

@Chicago9811 @magyardemon @greenfieldjohn @ChicagoMPO @GovPritzker @_atalliance @RTA_Chicago @Metroplanners @humantransit I think you’re confusing actual violent crime with perception. The actual violent crime rate on Chicago’s CTA for 2025 was 5.1 per million rides. You’re 2x more likely to be injured driving your car than injured by violent crime on the CTA.

@Chicago9811 @magyardemon @greenfieldjohn @ChicagoMPO @GovPritzker @_atalliance @RTA_Chicago @Metroplanners @humantransit So you admit that ridership is trending up

@ChiBearswater @ErikLambert1 Literally the third paragraph

[Sam Stamper @_samstamper]

@ChiBearswater @ErikLambert1 You should consider reading the article you’re replying to

@Braz785 @MikeHusband2599 @FOXSoccer You guys whine too much. You can buy tickets 20 minutes before kickoff for $70 to almost any game other than packers and Soldier Field is small enough that any seat has a decent view

[Sam Stamper @_samstamper]

@burziyech How are you guys trying to get to Soldier Field that you have so much trouble? Why aren’t you just tailgating at Reggie’s and taking the free bus? It’s an all you can eat buffet before and after the game and drops you off 5 minutes from the gates.

@ArniePalme87561 @drpanman Unfortunately facts don’t exist when confronting conservative talking points about Chicago

[Sam Stamper @_samstamper]

@JShalooby @FlowsAndolini This has been studied for 30 years by economists. I think you might be the one who doesn’t understand economics here

[Sam Stamper @_samstamper]

@JazzyJSports @FlowsAndolini “Some money” but it’s $2.3b in property tax breaks and infrastructure

@RepSusanClarke @Regan_Carter @HOUSEPORN___ Just say you don’t understand marketing

@SuperTexans @thelocaldialect @BayouBikeyBoi Very progressive of you to use God’s chosen pronouns regardless of God’s actual gender

[Sam Stamper @_samstamper]

@chrispfarrell @SpeakerJohnson @nikitabier @GWR do you have a section in your book for “didnt actually break a record but tried it recently”?

[Sam Stamper @_samstamper]

@SpeakerJohnson Hey Mike all you have to do is ask ChatGPT to remove the dashes and no one would know
