These are people who have seen their government use their own tax dollars used to kill their family members, and neither administration stepped up to stop it. 1/6

yall know that you can hire kids to work for your multi-billion dollar company if you just pay the $8m fee?

no repercussions for you as the CEO - just promise you won’t do it again, and pay out <0.1% of your profit for the year!

our system of corporate accountability works! smh.

why aren't we using the +$170m of unused funds being held up in CPDs vacancies? That could be used to:
1. Close the budget, avoid a property tax incr. AND
2. increase funding to public safety through peacebook + cdph AND
3. fund the chicago empowerment fund AND
4. keep some for vacancies
