    Mish ya gotta stop with the limited knowledge of politics and Chicago in the last few years. You live in Rosemont. Also, you're not actually invested in this city and you don't interface with the public in a meaningful way that actually would make a difference in your characterization of this city shows that you were best suited for working at RadioShack.
