Seventeen years ago, Chicago privatized its parking meters and sold them off to a private company that is now selling the meters to another private company. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has the opportunity to buy back the meters, but he said the cost is too high.

When the city sold the lease for the meters, parking cost $3 per hour – the current cost is $7 per hour to park downtown.

Former Mayor Richard Daley convinced the City Council to swiftly sell a 75-year lease of city’s parking meters in 2008 for $1.15 billion to help plug a city budget deficit.

There are four causes of disease. There are over 70,000 ICD diagnostic codes. The gap between these numbers is where the money is.

A child eats processed food saturated with glyphosate, artificial colours, and preservatives for years. His body, doing exactly what it evolved to do, initiates a detoxification response. Mucus production increases to flush irritants. Inflammation rises to repair damaged tissue. A fever may develop to accelerate metabolic clearing. His mother, frightened by the symptoms, takes him to the doctor. The doctor examines him, perhaps runs tests, and delivers a diagnosis: respiratory infection, or allergic rhinitis, or asthma—depending on which symptoms present most prominently and which billing code applies. The diagnosis triggers a prescription. The prescription—an antibiotic, an antihistamine, a steroid, or all three—suppresses the symptoms. The child feels better, which is to say: his body’s repair mechanisms have been chemically interrupted…
