Intrepid battler of mothmen everywhere.
I'd be interested in knowing some costs from the current ICE activities in Chicago:
Taxpayer cost per legitimate arrest?
Taxpayer cost per legitimate conviction?
Taxpayer cost per legitimate deportation?
Lots of boots on the ground for what seems like no real return - beyond intimidation.

Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised.
Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

Angel of the Lord: He is not here, He is risen, just as He said.
Come and see the place where He lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead.
Alito: Okay, first of all, this violates ALL sorts of rules
Thomas: This was a LAWFUL execution, who is God to interfere

The current market situation is exactly what I feared years ago when companies took away our pensions and pushed us into 401(k) plans with our retirement money.
