- wallace_f 8y agoI see comments complaining about this (generally on a national level) on HN almost daily. The weekly a highly-upvoted thread, such as the Assange thread yesterday, is filled with it (most seemed to not be too thrilled with Assange particularly, but angered by political issues around him) Well anyways, my point is that I guess the benefactors of all of this corruption and authoritarianism are thrilled that the best minds are occupied with demanding jobs.
- bigpicture 8y agoThe City of Chicago and Cook County are two very, very, very different government agencies. Fun exercise: Bring up Google Maps and type in 'Chicago City Hall'. Zoom in on the satellite view. The east half of the building is Cook County administration and the west half is City of Chicago. Notice any difference? One side doesn't do any work, the other overpays and/or has favorite vendors.
