-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
Illinois paid the price for embracing Fauci’s “science.” Here’s the retrospective.
Totally wrong, never encourage drinking, especially by government. Alcohol has destroyed many lives and families.
3.7 million dollars for beer, no grocery stores,
no housing or substandard, lots of lead in the water going to substandard housing. Useless
schools, no jobs, but they have almost 4 million
for beer. Pension costs up the wazoo.
Nothing to see here move along.
Yes, **public donation records** (campaign contributions) for Chicago Mayor **Brandon Johnson** are available online. These are primarily handled through **Illinois state campaign finance laws**, as mayoral campaigns file with the **Illinois State Board of Elections** (rather than a purely local Chicago database). Key public sources include: – **Illinois State Board of Elections (ISBE) Campaign Disclosure system** — The official source for detailed, itemized contribution and expenditure filings. You can search here: https://www.elections.il.gov/campaigndisclosure – Use tools like “Contribution Search By All Contributions” (https://www.elections.il.gov/campaigndisclosure/ContributionSearchByAllContributions.aspx) to query by candidate, contributor name, date ranges, etc. – His campaign committee is **Friends of Brandon Johnson**… Read more »
So many people in government are still clueless about the Supreme Court decision in the Harvard case ruling that reverse discrimination is illegal.
mark, should the matter of the grant from city to black business owner be referred to harmeet dillon? idk i am not an attorney.
They probably have bigger fish to fry.
How many black customers do you see in craft brewing houses. Not many. Do you think they are going to pay $8.00 to $10.00 for a glass of beer? Nope. Unless this place has a lot of other customers the city will lose this money pronto. As a side note, has this company made donations to Mayor 6.6’s political campaign.
Racist!
Young people in general are turning away from alcohol, including beer. Sales are down for many alcoholic beverages. People are worried about health consequences. Any amount of alcohol increases cancer risk. Wish it weren’t true but it is.
Has there ever been a a really good time that starts with “Let’s have a salad first?”
At Barry and Mike’s maybe.
People have been drinking alcohol for thousands of years. Excessive drinking is a problem, as everyone has known since the Sumerians first brewed mead and the Greeks commented on 2,500 years ago. But any amount of alcohol increases risk? Crossing the street increases the risk you’ll get hit by a car yet you still walk across the street. Yes, while some young people avoid alcohol for the health benefits, most young people avoid alcohol because it’s too expensive: its $10 a beer with tip and tax to go out. The days of $2 pitchers and $5 wings where young people… Read more »
Yes, alcohol is expensive and going out is expensive. And if you try to cut costs by buying cheap wine, often sugar is added to cheap wine making it worse. (We got a diabetes epidemic if you haven’t noticed.) In addition, elderly people are more sensitive to alcohol and more likely to get dehydrated. People over 60 often have sleep problems or might be on medications so they cut out the alcohol for that reason. Depression is skyrocketing among young people and alcohol just makes depression worse. By the way, you have a better chance of surviving that walk across… Read more »
By the way, I’m Irish too. So yeah it hurt to give up Irish coffees, etc. etc.
Sounds like discrimination to white business owners .
Remember, kids, Chicago is destitute.
Metal Monkey’s Harambe was the best craft beer I ever had. They received no such honorarium from any government and are long out of business. Alas.
