PRAYERS NEEDED - this is my friend @PeteKastanes of the great @vanishedchicago account. He has been battling prostate cancer for the last seven years. Things took a turn for the worse over the last few weeks. In his most recent update, he said: “My cancer has spread. I don’t have time much left. As of Vanished Chicagoland the future will be a family decision. Thank you! For my making this fun. I love you all! And god bless!” Pete has been a big source of encouragement over the years, and he is so good at bringing back wonderful memories for so many Chicagoans. Please join me in saying a prayer for him and his family at this time. 🙏
These people don’t happen to be rich and happen to justify stealing. They justify stealing because they are rich—and they are hoping you won’t notice. In pretending that they steal out of unfairness, out of hatred for corporations and corporate abuses, the educated rich get to cosplay as members of the working class, a gambit designed to disguise their own immense privilege. They get to pretend to loathe the system they wouldn’t replace for anything in the world. My column: "The Rich Don’t Play by the Rules So Why Should I?"
