I looked it up. 1983 Reinsdorf threatened to move the team to St Petersburg if he didn’t get a new stadium. The Illinois legislature caved at the last minute. Ive always called the current Sox Park Comiskey II

Somebody needs to do a deep dive investigation on whether Musk is in the country legally. I've seen reports he and his brother may have lied on their papers.

As did whomever owned the White Sox pre Comiskey II. I'm assuming it was Reinsdorf.

Clock or time-bomb? (between the election and spouse's knee replacement surgery, That ticking could just be me

Maybe we need to transition to a post election thread. Anyway... Tom Nichols (radio freedom)

I have no clue why it decided I had an invalid handle. I just changed the handle to CMRivdog52@cemyers52.bsky.social. Lets see if that works.

Especially since the team can't decide where it wants to put a stadium they want someone else to build. They've spent enough looking to finance the needed infrastructure at the racetrack in Arlington Heights.

I had to give both credit since the Bluesky folks linked to the Post.

I tend to agree. Show the American public your better angels. Trumpers are going to Trump and if they can't Trump they'll whine and pout like the children they are

JVL brought up an interesting point concerning the inauguration. Should Biden and Harris return the favor to Trump by boycotting the event, or should they show up and make it seem like an act of submission in the public's eye. In Trump's world their presence would make them seem weak and like losers. https://www.thebulwark.com/p/you-have-all-these-norms-and-you?utm_campaign=email-post&r=45wcm&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

I have no problems with the school. My GS is doing quite well and is the star of the school's Quiz Team (he's in 7th grade). From the way my son talks they are paying full tuition.

Google is your friend. I'm still looking for your definition of public.

"Let the scum eat cake"

That didn't exactly answer my question. Once again define public in your world as it pertains to school attendence

Didn't we fight a war over that over 100 years ago. Or at least that's what the losing side's argument is

Unless it comes to things you don't like

Define public in your world. Full transparency, my grandson goes to a parochial school. His parents are fine with paying tuition (we really don't discuss it). It's their choice, I'm fine with it. I also don't live in their community

I guess for me the bottom line is I want the portion of my tax money for schools to go to local public schools. I don't want to fund private interests religious or otherwise.

98% of the vouchers go to religious schools. Doesn't that violate the separation of Church and State (one of the foundations the nation was founded on)? Do the churches pay taxes on tuition money? Once again I'm not opposed to private schools, but as a taxpayer whose child left the system 20 plus years ago why should I be underwriting religious indoctrination? And yes you may have an opportunity to practice whatever religion you choose, I have no problem there. Just don't do it at my expense.
