A massive trucking scandal is (again) unfolding in Illinois and you can be sure the Chicago/IL media will go out of its way to ignore it.
Last night, 60 Minutes exposed just a few parts of a serious national public safety threat posed by "chameleon carriers," often owned/operated by foreigners.
The segment focused on Super Ego, owned by Serbs but headquartered in Elmhurst--a western suburb not far from O'Hare Airport in an area where dozens of other trucking companies are located.
Super Ego is under federal investigation (by DOT, at least for now) and being sued "fraudulent, unsafe, deceptive, and unlawful trucking practices."
Super Ego is tied to numerous crashes including one in Florida where two girls were seriously injured after a Super Ego driver crashed into a stopped school bus.

Whoa. Los Angeles Fire chief straight up admits the city of Los Angeles failed her and her department.
Karen Bass stripped $17 million in funding from the department and the chief warned her last month that the funding cuts would hamper their response.

Devastated to hear the news of Ray Liotta’s passing. While he leaves an incredible legacy, he’ll always be “Shoeless Joe Jackson” in my heart. What happened that moment in the film was real. God gave us that stunt. Now God has Ray.
Could not be more proud to call this company home. While others post layoffs, we are growing strategically!

It’s a good day to tip! Tipped every employee at @AriaLV (that I ran into) $100. At airport, tipped everyone behind SWA counter, janitors, Flt attendants, and airport employees $100. $2,000-ish so far, but will every employee I see until midnight. Surrounded by smiles #POSITIVITY
