Watching Trump systematically fleece his most ardent followers through the DJT “stock” has been interesting from a behavioral finance perspective. There will be a piece in NYT or WSJ this summer about people who lost their life savings in this.
I don’t go to McBurrito often-Chicago has a lot better offerings. When I have, there’s always That One Guy who has his face on the plexiglass, almost has a scale out, asks for more of everything. The staff at CMG know this guy by face, or can pick them out.

Neil Young being back on Spotify means we’re about to see a Zoomer who’s just heard HARVEST for the first time do a multi-tweet thread on the problematic nature of “A Man Needs A Maid.”
The average hourly wage in 1986 was $7.87, meaning it took slightly more than 1 hour of labor to buy this meal. The average hourly wage today is $29.66, and you can buy this same meal for $27.19 at my local BK -- less than 1 hour of labor.

I love how a certain group of people think Taylor Swift is a CIA plot, but don’t blink at the weekly military industrial complex advertisement that is the NFL. Flyovers! National anthems! Salute The Troops! Pat Tillman Mythology! American Jesus, indeed.
I’m fascinated by a parent in the South Loop who carpools to Skinner North, rather than just take the Red Line. We could have an interesting conversation on Skinner North, privilege, and the CPS system, though…

Another day, another absolute failure by @Metra to roll out the new fare structures on the @VentraChicago app. How much $$ has been lost so far because they didn’t properly rest this new fare zone rollout? Might need to get those ticket agents back in the booth at this rate.
America, understand why the #Lions fan in your life isn’t celebrating yet. Goff will be injured. Someone will retire at halftime. An earthquake will hit, like the 1989 WS. The other shoe WILL drop, because God hates us.
How about enacting policies that enable enough economic growth that these stores aren’t needed/ can’t compete?

Funny to watch a demographic who will pay $50 for a pink Stanley mug, or $8 for a crummy IPA at an Applebee’s suddenly tighten the purse strings for a $6.99 subscription for a sneakily good streaming service.
Mississippi gave millions of dollars of welfare funds to former NFL quarterback Brett Favre to build a volleyball facility for his daughter’s school, but they won’t take federal funds to feed hungry children. Because helping poor kids is the kind of welfare that Republicans hate.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why, in a world of "conscious consumption," some of the same people who refuse to eat beef or drive an SUV continue to snort prodigious volumes of a drug that contributes to so much death and suffering in Latin America. I wrote about this a…
Whatever holiday drama you are going through/ inflicting, it pales in comparison to the junior high girl friend group gift exchange I stumbled upon at a Starbucks last night. Teach your kids about setting price limits and expectations before others do.
So weird how my #Redfin feed has effortlessly turned into a steady stream of rentals. And this in Chicago, where prices are still going up and the market is liquid. I think it is going to be a long, cold winter for our nation’s Realtors, title insurers, inspectors, and lawyers
Greatest marketing ploy of all time was convincing the American consumer that their home is an investment property. Many middlemen have profited from this narrative.
If high inflation is over, then why aren't prices going back down?
So it turns out Michael Lewis spent time writing a book about someone who turned out to be a con artist…also he’s got that SBF project going.
It is getting harder and harder each day to excuse state and local governments for their dependence on booze, weed, and gambling as new forms of revenue. The economic multiplier on these is very small.
I turned 46 today. The doctors told my parents I wouldn’t make it to 16. The Roma fortune teller on Halsted said I wouldn’t make it to 30.
Just remember, GenX, you serve one purpose - you fund Boomer retirements. wsj.com/articles/retir…

Starbucks is entering it's Subway sandwich era. A decline. The drinks are expensive milkshakes and the environment isn't pleasant to be in. Not conducive to hang out or work.
Joke's on you. I'm Generation X. If people don't insult me at least daily, I slowly morph back into an old pair of corduroy pants.
Many of Chicago’s regional dishes have already gone national but just like with pizza there’s two styles of Chicago dogs. I prefer the lesser known made with a natural casing Vienna Beef in a steamed bun with mustard, onion, relish, and sport peppers wrapped with fresh cut fries.
While Buffalo wings are now a ubiquitous app all over the country, not every regional food goes national. What cuisine from YOUR region do you most want to share with the country/world?
