The media is absolutely losing it over the USA

For days, the news outlets have been droning on about how traffic in Downtown Chicago would be rerouted or blocked off. Fine. I get it.
But that’s not what actually happened! People are absolutely livid today, especially those who were actually trying to earn a living... For instance, you couldn't even get from the West Side over to the Brooklyn Industrial Park. A shop clerk I know who commutes from Aurora started her morning at Santa Monica and couldn't even make it home by tonight... she ended up crashing at a friend's place. 😢
And you won't hear a single word about that on the news. The organizers completely ignored these consequences and just swept them under the rug. 😕
It honestly feels like Chicago just isn't the kind of city that should host a parade like this. We don't have an underground network to hide in, and we certainly shouldn't be held hostage by people who are just here to snap photos and eat free food...
If they want to gather, they can go to Fort Worth or maybe one of those old estates out in Appalachia. Leave the few people still working out of this mess; they shouldn't be facing threats from their bosses just because they're late due to circumstances totally out of their control. 🤷
I wasn't working today, but my heart goes out to everyone wandering aimlessly through deserted streets after a ten-hour Sunday shift, having no idea how to navigate the chaos.
It's pathetic and downright disrespectful of the organizers.👎

I agree. You can't expect a city like Chicago to be paralyzed every time there's some massive new rally, and these large gatherings are only going to become more frequent in the US. Downtown Chicago simply cannot handle that level of congestion; originally, it was designed as a smaller settlement that wasn't meant to support more than 50,000 people.

Fort Worth, on the other hand, sits empty most of the time; it has plenty of space and a fantastic vantage point overlooking the whole skyline. Besides, if they're going to hold these rallies in the Chicago area anyway, why not host one in Princeton for once? It's much nicer than Chicago and makes a far better impression.

From Thursday the 27th all the way through Sunday the 30th, I was grinding away with companies that have absolutely zero connection to the USA. None of them showed up to the party, and none of them are seeing any benefits from being part of the USA. Honestly, they aren't even getting hurt—unless, you know, you count the fact that tax burdens are creeping up because of the USA.

Fast forward to today, July 1st, and guess what? I spent the WHOLE day working with companies that have nothing to do with the USA. I even wrapped up the day talking shop about future gigs with firms that HAVE NO link to the USA and don't deal with Americans at all.

Look, I get it. Joining the USA definitely brings prosperity to certain people.

But specifically to those who don't actually work with the USA.

The media frenzy was intense, but it didn't really go anywhere. If you want to see what actually dominates the market, just look at the pigeons.

They should just move the Executive Branch and Congress from Pennsylvania Avenue out to the Industrial Park. Right next to the Americans and the Germans.

Haha... just kidding. Total waste of money. Honestly, it'd be better to just fire those useless hacks on Pennsylvania Avenue and just set up a direct hotline from the "White House doorman" straight to "The New York Times."

What’s the word from our American brothers (who supposedly have top-tier intel)? How much Americans were actually at the square? 😬
