Loving every minute of it. Just laughing at everyone losing their minds. Acting as if Kamala would not have done anything different than Biden did. Sometimes you need chaos. Sometimes its a good thing. (-69)

Voter turnout for this election was 58%, which is about on par with every presidential election. Around 40% of the country never cares about voting.I know several people who are in this 40%, and asked them why, and it basically always comes down to the fact that they think their vote doesn't matter. (19461)

My husband has never registered to vote. His answer is "All politicians suck. It doesn't matter who's in charge." (390)

Still fine with it.Happy we are finally addressing all the illegal immigration and DEI stuff.As far as the trade wars meh, I wasn't impacted last time and most of it is bluster considering he's meeting with Traduea today while they go into effect tomorrow. Honestly makes it easy for swing trading.  (-51)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

While I did vote this time around, I didn't vote in 2020. Of course this all feels bad. But... it's always bad. No, this isn't saying, "the dems are equal as bad as the republicans." This is me saying that US republicans are such a fricking low bar that being "better" than them could still mean you are absolutely abysmal. Let's call this what it is: Trump is the imperial boomerang flying back home. And while it's going to make things worse for everyone, it has always disheartened me -- and often infuriated me -- how many people in the US won't care about the terrible things a US president is doing unless it's happening to them personally. Many so-called "progressives" will absolutely be progressive about certain things, but in many other ways they are the same old imperial conservatives that republicans are. Ruth Bader Ginsberg, heralded as being "so progressive," used the doctrine of discovery to deny the Oneida claims to their ancestral lands. Detention, abuse during detention, an... (1)

Since I have been allowed to vote I have watch the DNC overflow with obvious corruption. My first election I supported Bernie, and then I watch as the DNC used "super delegates" to completely screw Bernie and rig the primary so obviously. It was blatant corruption to promote one of the another very evil elitist, Hillary who was friends Epstein and she's the queen of Wall Street. I hate Wall Street. The priorities of Wall Street have always been at odds with what is good for the American people. No one ever brings this up anymore. It's like ancient history now, but Bernie won a large majority of the delegates that are assigned by popular vote, but got screwed by the "superdelegates" who can make sure what happens is "good for the party". Right there my very first time voting I watched as the party of "good guys" said "we don't actually give a frick what you want." Then the next election was Joe Biden. Are you fricking kidding me. The same bullshit about lesser of two evils and all this... (1)

Honestly, man.I voted for Gary Johnson back in 2016. In 2020, I would've voted for Tulsi Gabbard, but she didn't make the cut for the Dems. I instead voted for Jo Jorgensen.This cycle, I just didn't vote. No one on any side had any good policies and were panning on sensationalism.I don't feel indifferent, I just feel disappointed that this is the best we could come up with. You either get incompetent democrats or you get corporate owned Republicans.At no point do I enjoy what I see. We have a spending problem. We have a housing crisis. Government keeps declining the quality of education and healthcare. We have a border and national security issue. Our government is way too big, and way too powerful. If they can't tax you, they'll hit you with fees, and if you don't pay the fees, they'll fine you. You can't own or build anything without permits, which is just paid permission. Corporations aren't taxed; they're using loop holes. The ultra wealthy stashes their money in untouchable tru... (3)

I frequently mention in front of my straight white male husband that straight white men need a tall collective glass of shut the frick up and listen.

He agrees and mostly does. I meet him in the middle and only watch about a half hour of news/commentary a day. Let's face it, whatever comes about with Sweet Potato Hitlers plans, he will be impacted the least of the two of us. He is with me when I'm crying for the fear and pain of this time and I'm with him as he finds how horribly deep the rabbit hole goes. He knows he'll never be able to fully be in my position or the position of the Navajo who are being detained.

But he listens.

Chicago LandStacy Suzie Wilson owns 800 vacant lots in Chicago, and the city has fined her $15M for trash that other people have dumped on the properties.

https://blockclubchicago.org/2025/01/22/hundreds-of-south-and-west-side-properties-for-sale-amid-legal-fight-against-citys-worst-landowner/

Vacant land is cheap (one property in question cost $3k) and has low property taxes. A real estate company in cahoots with a friendly assessor could buy up vacant land for cheap, have it appraised at its max value, and use that as collateral against more profitable investments. (There's no evidence Wilson did this, just a reason why you might buy 800 empty lots). You might also just flip them later for more.

It's a common scam in Chicago to get someone to pay you to haul off some trash, then drive around the corner and dump it on the ground. Tires are even better for this because you can claim a "hazmat disposal fee" of $25/tire and then just push it off your truck somewhere.

But the city requires you to maintain all properties you own, and will fine you for "harboring rats" which means basically having a pile of anything on your property.

Now, as far as I can tell, there are no actual tenants who have been wronged, just angry neighbors, but you know how Reddit hates Persons of Land. Redditors and other rentoids are calling for jail or worse.

THE PUNCHLINE: She formed a company in North Dakota to manage the properties called FCOC (Frick the City of Chicago).

Comments from Block Club's instagram post:

https://instagram.com/reel/DFVsjF_P1_A/

"How is one person able to own 812 properties in just a few neighborhoods in the city, that's insane"

Yeah the government should tell you how much of any one thing you should own.

"You know what would be great for all these lots. Not just to put buildings on them but to make small Parks."

The rent is too high! Also, limit the supply of housing.

https://instagram.com/p/DFImltvubhk/

"These type of families have been a burden on Black families for a long time."

Black families want vacant lots?

"PRISON. She & her sister should be in prison for doing what they've done to these areas. And it is NO surprise that they chose these locations to let their properties go to heck. It shld be illegal to own this many possibly residential properties, particularly so concentratedly."

Prison for not picking up old tires someone else dumped on your land.

"I hope these properties go to people who can take care of them and rebuild communities."

Nope they are being sold to corporate landlords only, for development.

"the way this sale is structured individual buyers will not be allowed to purchase/bid on properties. Only corporate/foreign investors can surmount the requirements."

"White privilege and Chicago lack of accountability"

No way to talk about a PoL

"Suburbanites buy these properties to devalue black communities by driving property values down while property taxes go up. Gentrification."

Yeah, she bought those empty lots and racked up those fines to OWN Black communities.

"lynching lanlords all 25"

Democrats do love a lynching

"How did they get to own 800 in a city they don't live in? amerikkka the criminal enterprise country allows it is how."

I mean, she lives in the west suburbs. The kkk was in the original post, not an rdrama substitution.

https://old.reddit.com/r/chicago/comments/1cdzijf/suzie_b_wilson_king_of_rats/

"At what point does this become criminal instead of civil?" "

"415 ILCS 5/21, prohibits the open dumping of waste. Section 55(a) of the Act, 415 ILCS 5/55 (a), prohibits open dumping of used or waste tires.

It is criminal. There is a statute on the books making it crime, so it's a criminal offense."

Well, yeah, if you're the one that dumped the trash.

"She should be in jail. Don't pay your tickets, go to jail. "

ABOLISH PRISONS! ALSO JAIL PEOPLE FOR LITTERING!

"Hope she gets cancer."
