As Chicago school district, the third largest in the US and one of the most underachieving enters the 5th day of a teachers strike over pay, class size and conditions. The mayor begs teaching staff to return to work. In a City with historically poor levels of educational attainment and very high levels of unemployment. It is clear Education is not high on the Chicago list of priorities. The people of Chicago continue to be educationally disadvantaged and by demographic unlikely to gain a College education. Thoughts?

I thought this was going to be about the Chicago School of economics. To which the answer would have been: yes, it's f*cking gay.

Teachers are demanding unreasonable shit like rent control. Just the latest deal...once it fully kicks in, if you were making 72 grand you'd be making nearly 90(heard this on the radio today). Whenever I go out I see protesters, adults and kids just standing on the corner holding signs. Kids that should be in school.
Brother says his sources say it will end Friday, but who knows. The other day protesters were literally walking out into the street and I don't just mean when the light was red, they did it when it was green too.

given the intellectual performance of chicago natives on this forum, I think the answer to the topic is a resounding "yes"

I would imagine a large part of that problem comes from relatively high levels of poverty in many areas and even if many people don't earn below the poverty line they still don't make enough to realistically make ends meet.
The teachers union in chicago is very powerful and demands ALOT puts a huge burden on the city resources that are already lacking.
I saw a protester in a Gumby costume earlier. Props for that at least.

I live in Chicago, I am a progressive, and I support both teachers and unions, but even I find their demands unreasonable. They are asking things of the mayor that are not in her power to grant—things that are decided by state lawmakers—which signals to me, that they are using those things as a pretense to strike.
Chicaco is a Left Wing City has been run by Extremely Leftist Individuals. They have Polluted and Infected the City from the Top down to its very core.
People like Adam.
Of Course Chicago is BROKEN! The Left Destroys everything it Touches.

I hope Trump stays safe during his visit and nothing bad happens to him so we don't have to deal with a Democrat being in office for four years.
Ugh, with how well the Democrats are doing these days with their anti-Trump and anti-GOP propaganda, they may have whipped a moronic leftist up into such a frenzy that someone tries to take out Trump.
If someone tried to take out Trump it's far more likely going to be a frothed up disgruntled Rightist who lost their job due to Trump's policies and upset that Trump hasn't made 'America great again" as promised. Easily a 94.6% chance if it going that way.
But agreed on nothing bad happening to Trump, we don't need something even worse than the Patriot Act and Homeland Security thought up by Rightist and implemented, cos that would happen if an assassination attempt were to occur now.
Yup, wouldn't put it past some crazed lefty at this point.

If Trump is assassinated or somehow otherwise incapacitated to the point that he is unable to continue on as president then Pence will become president, not a democrat.. and honestly, I think crazed lefties would realize pretty damn quickly that they'd rather have Trump than Pence anyday lol.
Or perhaps you were trying to say that if anything did happen to Trump then Pence would end-up losing the 2020 election? Considering you said "deal with a democrat in office for four years" I guess it's more likely that you were talking about the latter.

It's pretty pathetic (but not at all surprising) that Robbie is making the claim that if Trump were to be assassinated that it would be a right-winger rather than a typical crazy leftist lol.

It's not rightists responsible for a majority of gun homicides.
