Just like the Dem's. Create a new tax to fuck you over as much as possible. A fucking $1.25 PER PACKAGE? Seriously?

From the post:

>A group of Chicago lawmakers have proposed a $1.25 package delivery fee as they battle the mayor over his controversial budget plan - just months after the city dropped nearly $640 million on migrants. With the 2026 spending plan's December 31 deadline rapidly approaching, Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson has been at odds with the sanctuary city's moderate and conservative council members. Chicago is facing a roughly $1.15 billion projected shortfall for the upcoming year. In response to the staggering deficit, Johnson proposed a $16.6 billion budget to close the shortfall. But a significant aspect of his plan - a proposed $21 monthly tax per employee for companies with 100 or more workers - was struck down by the Finance Committee last month over concerns that it would drive corporations out of the city.

Years ago after a Comdex Chicago visit I got a call to join a push to unionize tech workers.

I asked the guy “what’s the union gonna do for me”? Better wages! How so, people pay me what ever I ask, and I still have to much work. I’ve gone up from 80 to 100 just this year and 125 an hour is coming in Feb to reduce the customers so I don’t get new customers. So how can you help that besides get me to pay union dues so you can steal more of my money and so fuck all. “You don’t understand” Yeah I do, I clearly understand you fucking dago fucks want to do nothing and steal my money. Fuck off, I’m in Texas. Click. Never called back.
