Divvy Bikes may be disabling their bikes as well. At least near the parade route.

When I called Metra and asked about the reverse commuter people and that common sense would tell you that going out to the burbs at 7 am wouldn't cause an issue (or coming back into the city after 6 pm).  She just laughed and said she can't give her own opinion.

I work six floors above the RTA offices. Want me to go downstairs and yell at them?

Bread and circuses.  

Try not to be too positive about the state of affairs though.

Bitter about what?

No, seriously . . . What has changed in your life? Our beloved mayor decided not to close schools? To spend more money on education, public trasport, etc., then on prisons? All the potholes in Chicago suddenly paved themselves over? Obama banned that pipeline? At least one banker was put on trial? Guantanamo is closed? WHAT?!!

If only half of the energy spent on stupid shit like that were put on something useful . . .

Panem et circenses indeed.

Well, if the "conductors" have any common sense...

It's like telling a three years old that a kettle with boiling water is safe if you hold it by the handle. It's easier to just tell them "Don't touch it!"

Oh, lighten up. The government is allowed to host fun events once in a while.
