The structural failure on the Lake Shore Drive bridge seems to be a design flaw that was possibly overseen by dozens of structural engineers. How could this have happened?

Because our roads are not dangerous enough with reckless and distracted drivers, who are, at best, seldom cited, Illinois lawmakers are seriously considering legalizing marijuana. If not about politics, it’s about money, the only two things that seem to matter.

I was reading the newspaper and saw how Gov. J.B. Pritzker isgoing to brag how he raised the minimum wage to $15 an hour, but they are not going to do it all at once. They’re going to do it over two, three, four or more years, which means workers will probably start to fall further behind because they have to wait for a $15 minimum wage. If it is so great, how come they don’t raise it all at once? It is because they know it will be a problem.
