Market Update
Geez, kick a guy while he’s down why don’t you? Moody’s sons of bitches.
A+? Baa!
OK, so it may seem a little weird that one agency is pounding Chicago’s credit while another is all, “A+!” Here’s how you, too, can look at the unreasonably bright side:
1. Just assume that everything will sort of get done, maybe, eventually.
2. Assume all those people are asking questions because they really want to get to know you better, not because they fundamentally mistrust you.
3. Tinker. With children’s lives.
4. If someone points to flaws, rail against the whole, rotten system.

Dear Rahm: Usually the “listening tour” comes on your way into office, not your way out.

weird how cops went so much harder into deathsquad territory right after we gave them all those military-graade toys huh

jesus, i don’t even know if “paramilitary” is even an apt description for the NYPD, CPD or LAPD. can’t we drop the “para” by now?

that behavior is fascinating to me & explains how so many of the most horrible eras of human history were allowed to actually happen
