There is not a single Solana NFT collection with a floor price above $2k USD. Read that again. There are like five collections above $100 USD. No volume. Claynosaurz should bridge asap, and Solana Monkey Business should rebrand to Ethereum Monkey Business. Solana NFTs are one Magic Eden de-listing away from becoming Ordinals

This video has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. This scary incident is not an isolated incident. Fortunately, it doesn't have to be this way and can be fixed. No parent would feel comfortable riding the CTA with their children as long as this behavior, now all too common on too many lines, continues. Too many Chicagoans rely on public transportation to get to and from work safely and affordably. Having to tolerate incidents like this is unacceptable. Hoping that by not making eye contact with the aggressor, you might get lucky enough to avoid getting hurt, is not a strategy for improving safety and increasing ridership on the CTA. It's also terribly unfair to working class people who can't afford safer transportation options. We need to restore control of our trains by getting Chicago police officers back on them, starting with the worst lines. I rode the Red Line last week, starting on 69th, and spoke with a woman who looked visibly scared. She said she no longer takes the EL because it's unsafe. Her car broke down, and after spending $150 in Uber rides over the prior 3 days, she couldn't afford another Uber ride to get back home from work so that's why she took the CTA. She took it out of desperation. This woman needs to work. She can't afford to lose her job. She is a taxpayer. She, and all Chicagoans and visitors to our city, deserve a clean, safe and reliable transportation system. This clearly mentally ill repeat offender, should not be on our trains, double-fisting hammers, making death threats, after already having been arrested 30 times. He needs mental health services and accountability. Everyone else needs clean, SAFE, reliable trains. It's not too much to ask. It's a bare minimum expectation.

A city that makes cars obsolete and builds transport purely on fundamentals of walking, cycling and public transit are cities that are designed for future. Paris is leading, and London, NYC, Beijing are catching up.

NEW: The Chicago Teachers Union is calling for a day of "no school" and "no work" on May 1, according to a leaked resolution passed earlier this evening. Chicago Public Schools spends about $30k per student per year. But only 1-in-3 CPS students can read at grade level, and fewer than 1-in-5 meet state math standards.
