I love how he starts the video posted in the article off with "We are in the most intense talent space in the world" Well good sir don't expect to keep any of that talent. This sickens me.
Uber is an incredible service. Perhaps a system within a bar/clubs POS system would be most helpful. If your bill is over X amount then the bartender could suggest a Uber for you or have the ability to charge a Uber to your bill if you agreed. Just a thought. Also Instead of Uber preventing NFL players driving drunk. Uber should prevent players driving after games who have suffered concussions or big hits.
Thank you for responding. I just feel that "racial segregation" are the wrong words to use when describing this map. and yes the reasons you have posted are for the most part true. They are now a little outdated but they were things that happened in the past that have contributed to our present. I would like to believe that chicgoans have made many strides in certain areas of the city to become more diverse. But who knows. If we continue to try we can hopefully change our present to a better future.
This is a really cool map! I have a few questions about it though. Racial Segregation are very strong words to use when describing this map. I have lived in Chicago for my whole life. I have heard people say that Chicago is the most segregated city in the US. That line might be true. But when I look at this map it is very hard to draw the assumption that Chicago is incredibly segregated. Looking at this map you could easily say white people live here african american live here and asian / hispanic live here etc... But it is much deeper then the top overview. Chicago has a huge polish , german, irish community. I'm talking about people who have moved from their home country to live in the US. I notice a trend that when polish people move to chicago they move to where polish people live not any old "white" neighborhood they move to a place where they feel comfortable and have common ground. Never in my life have I or the city say white people need to live here and african american live here. There must be a reason that Chinese live on the south side Vietnamese live on the north side and Korean live on the further north side. Latino is the same. I forgot where i was going with this point. But I feel the way we see racial segregation is that some higher power says that we must not live next to each other. When in truth people want to live by their people.
How do you feel about Onstar or Progressive insurance snapshot?
Progressive Snapshot: We look at your driving habits to see if you could be saving more. You can track your projected savings online. "We look, you track"
I see how this statement is flawed. Thank you for pointing that out. So this car gets 9-10 miles per (your choice of wordage). Also around murica we measure gas in gallons. hahaha.
You should treat the project with extra effort. You have 1.5 months to go. This is what you know. You are signed on to a project. The project at hand sucks. The inner politics can not be manipulated. With you knowing all of these factors, maybe there is a way you can change the outcome of the project. At the least you gain something from this project.
We have seen a new fleet of taxi cabs here in Chicago. They run on compressed natural gas. I got to ride in a VPG a few weeks ago. The driver liked the car but said the biggest problem is mileage. 9-10 mpg in the city. I like the idea of CNG, of course there are kinks that need to be worked out. Forklifts have been running on CNG for years so why not cars.

I just went on a european trip and used airbnb. Houseboat in Amsterdam (super awesome place) My "Experience" was wonderful. However, I did feel that the security deposit was unsettling. Their word against mine kind of thing. So it goes. I guess we will just leave the hotel business to the professionals. How did 9flats avoid this?
A few weeks ago a neighbor had their passenger window broken. They asked me if i saw anything. I said no. I asked if they had anything stolen. Yes, my Ipad was sitting on my passenger seat. Good grief.
I find this tactic unbelievable. Did we learn this tactic from cartoons? All we need is a carrot, box, stick and string. By days end we will have a rabbit.
