I like it. Just. Refuse. <br /><br />The City here is considering selling rights to the parking revenue to a private company to raise money to fund a new basketball arena; they <i>promise</i> the rates won't go up. But of course they lie, and everyone knows it.<br /><br />Is it any wonder there is a Revolution going on?<br /><br />Fixing the ruinous state of the public infrastructure I'm sure will be the first thing on the Post-Revolutionary agenda. It's so obvious. <br /><br />Still, I wonder how the horizontal operating system will work on a large scale project. Won't the working groups and affinity groups have to reach consensus on everything before they act? This could slow things down somewhat...Ché Pasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926630891287949373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304235862479840318.post-67806698200346773592012-02-08T13:30:10.735-08:002012-02-08T13:30:10.735-08:00Oh, if anyone doesn't know about Chicago Parki...Oh, if anyone doesn't know about Chicago Parking, here's the link:<br /><br /><a href="http://blogs.suntimes.com/marin/2009/03/chicago_parking_meter_rebellio.html" rel="nofollow">Chicago Parking Meter Rebellion??</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/15/us-usa-alabama-jeffersoncounty-rates-idUSTRE7AE2DL20111115" rel="nofollow">In Alabama, sewer woes spur war on water costs</a>vampyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14660319794133128873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304235862479840318.post-72646276513346146162012-02-08T13:17:39.184-08:002012-02-08T13:17:39.184-08:00I have a reverse question:

Pretty sure everyone else will find they can't afford their privatized water. sewers and trash collection. Especially after they are gobbled up by sovereign wealth fund speculators."<br /><br />In other word, some people see Apocalypse along with Revolution, I see the Apocalypse on the way if there's no Revolution. But the people who want to park their cars in Chicago will get a taste of the darkness to come.vampyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14660319794133128873noreply@blogger.com
