So many women made their fortunes off of divorce. Don't get married.

@greg16676935420 Right? Who wants dry conditioning? 🙄

I usually agree with Elon but in this case I think he’s wrong. Air conditioning is extremely important and I can’t imagine a world without it

Singer Moby says “Fuck Trump and Fuck you too for voting for him” What’s your response to him ??

@itsedsilha @Houseofyogi Whats Illinois property tax vs Indiana’s again?

@Houseofyogi Completely accurate… but honestly as a citizen of Illinois and Chicago in particular, I couldn’t be happier to let Indiana have the new stadium because it’s still going contribute mightily to Chicago’s economy and won’t cost me a penny in increased property taxes

Chicago lost the Bears this week. A team that's been in the city since 1921. They didn't lose them to a bigger market or a better deal. The Bears decided they'd rather be a tenant in Indiana than deal with Illinois for one more year. Think about how badly you have to run a place for that to be the smart move. They lost them for two reasons. The people running Illinois would rather villainize a builder than keep one. And they're bad at their jobs. In 2021 the Bears spent $197M on the old Arlington Park racetrack. Before they could break ground, Cook County valued the empty lot at $192M (Bears said $60M). They were salivating at the chance to extort a building that didn't even exist yet. That fight dragged on for years. The Bears were ready to put $2B into the stadium. All they wanted was a promise the county wouldn't reassess them into oblivion, plus $855M for infrastructure everyone uses. Roads, transit, utilities. A $3B project, two thirds of it private money pouring into Illinois. Springfield had since 2021 to get this done. They dragged it to the final night of session, passed it through the Senate at 3:39AM, and the House went home without voting. So now it's all gone. The funniest part? This started because Cook County tried to grab the tax early. They knew a built stadium would pay $53M a year. Now they get under $4M on a vacant lot. No jobs, no buildout, no new anything. Congrats on fighting for scraps and losing the whole prize. Pritzker: they're "an $8.5B valued business" that doesn't need propping up. But be smart for a second. Almost every NFL city throws in public money for a stadium. Not charity. The return is real. Tourism, hotels, restaurants, jobs, game days, property tax on a huge development. The math works. Indiana did the math. While Illinois sat on it for years, Indiana passed a bill in months, put up $1B, and took the team. And the Bears took a worse deal to get there. In Illinois they were going to own their stadium. In Indiana they rent it from the state. A team that wanted to build its own home gave up ownership just to escape Chicago. Nobody won but Indiana. The Bears lost their stadium. Illinois lost the team, the $2B, and $53M a year in taxes. Pritzker after they left: "I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team." There it is. "Billionaire-owned." That's how Democrats talk about any business right before they run it out of town. Call them a billionaire, act like you're saving working families, take a victory lap while the tax base drives across the state line. Meanwhile they're running the whole state into the ground. And you already know how this ends. You're living in it. Pensions are $143B in the hole, worst in the country and not close. You pay $6,285 a year in property taxes, double the $2,969 national average, for a city that's $1.15B in the red. The mayor called its finances "the point of no return." When you run things this badly, you sell what's left. They leased the parking meters for 75 years to Morgan Stanley and a sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi. Took $1.15B and burned through it in two years. The investors already made it all back, with 58 years left to collect. Sold the Skyway. Sold the downtown garages. Every asset that made money, gone for one check. But a fixed property tax rate for a team that's been here 106 years? That's "propping up billionaires." Companies are leaving. Boeing for Virginia. Caterpillar for Texas. Citadel for Miami. In 2023 alone Illinois lost 56,000 people and $6B in income to other states. The ones who left earned a third more than the ones who moved in. Indiana didn't outbid anyone. AAA credit, 16 years straight. A $676M surplus. Fourth-lowest debt per person in the country. They just weren't a disaster. Illinois could have collected $53M a year. It chose zero. Ignore all the bad management but make sure to stick it to those evil, pesky billionaires.

@OctobersOwnTae What other major league team is Illinois going to send us? Sox? Bulls? Blackhawks?

Indiana taxpayers are on the hook for Lucas Oil Stadium until 2037…. And they’re willing to slap another stadium over there that 90% of the state won’t visit. Insanity.

@HeinekenHal @40thforward Don’t forget Morton Salt that left after 178 years.

@40thforward This helps everyday Chicagoans, or maybe not

And I’ll say it again. If any Chicagoan thinks it’s a good idea to give a Billionaire corporation tax dollars while everyday Chicagoans struggle to pay their bills and put food on the table, say it with your full chest.

@EthanHatcher Thanks, we’ll take the Sox too.

Holy shit. It’s happening. Well enjoy it Hoosiers… because you’ll be paying for it. You’ll be paying to the tune of $1-$2 BILLION dollars on a stadium that will also be exempted from paying property taxes while you’re paying through the nose on your property taxes that go up every single year. And you’ll be giving this money to a multi-billion billion dollar Sportsketball team and their lavishly wealthy owners. Good job. 🙄 Our priorities are all screwed up in this state.

@CelinaBarajas1 @GovPritzker Please send more of your “greedy billionaires” to Indiana. We’ll gladly accept them!

Thank you @GovPritzker for not giving into their demands. Us taxpayers should NOT be funding these greedy billionaires who can afford to completely finance their own stadiums without funds from hard working taxpayers. If the Bears wanna go, byyyyeee 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽

Indianapolis, the largest city in a state with a metro population of 2.2 million, gets just three trains per week, yet that same state is willing to spend $1 billion on a football stadium for 8 events a year.

@RGIII You mean the Hammond Bears 🐻

The Chicago Bears should play in Chicago.

@horsemaster702 @GovBraun This dumbass thinks Bears fans arent going to travel 20 miles to see the Bears. 😂

@GovBraun Bro, ait no one coming to your shitty ass state to watch a football game , lmfao. You have NO idea what CHICAGO people are about. We root for teams playing IN CHICAGO. This is going to blow UP in your face and I can't WAIT to see it.

Hoosiers, help me welcome the Chicago Bears to our great state! We look forward to building a partnership as strong as the '85 Bears defense, creating opportunities and economic growth that will benefit our state and the Bears organization for decades to come. An NFL franchise in Northwest Indiana will be an economic boost to the entire region like we haven’t seen before. Thank you to Speaker Huston, the legislature, and Mayor McDermott for their partnership. I also want to thank the entire Chicago Bears organization for their partnership and commitment in making this move a reality. Welcome to Indiana!

@RepCasar @SenSanders Dumb shit like this is why they’re leaving

Billionaire team owners keep getting richer while fans keep getting screwed. It's why the Bears may leave Chicago. It's also why @SenSanders and I introduced the Home Team Act — requiring team owners to offer locals the chance to buy a team before moving it away.

@cmiller78 @GovPritzker As an ex democrat, stop voting democrat. You’ll thank yourself.

@GovPritzker I’m a Democrat but I can’t tolerate this anymore… if he puts tax payers first why do we pay the highest taxes in the country. I just want to vomit whenever I read his comments or hear him speak.

@kushika_twt Have the baby.

What would you do if you found out you were pregnant and your baby had Down syndrome?

@muheediva01 Fortunately, your opinion is irrelevant

Unpopular opinion: Landlords should not be able to increase rent unless they're upgrading the apartment.

@Coloradokarma__ @elonmusk @cybertruck Yeah! Get em! 😡

Take that @elonmusk! 😡 @cybertruck

@CoachEmanOC @djneyoru Exactly

Imagine if it was a LGBT diagnosis instead, if a gay gene was detectable. Pro-lifers would abort without second thoughts

@JezziiB @whoops_a_stacey The difference is the donors consented.

If abortion is illegal because “sex has natural consequences,” then liver transplants for alcoholics and lung transplants for smokers should be illegal too because consequences, darling, are so consistent.

@RichardHanania If you need motivation to take care of your child, you’re a shitty parent.

Having children has made me a lot more pro-choice. Taking care of children is hard. Part of the payoff is imagining them living full lives as adults. I don’t know how anyone could find the motivation to take care of them if they knew that wasn’t possible. That’s why only religious people don’t abort in these situations.

@McJuggerNuggets What family? You killed your child.

This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21. The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided. I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley. She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained. Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000. When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed. Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism): 50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective. I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life. The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk. We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21. This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast. You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change. To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward. As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice. It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome. Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️
