Same here, especially if it’s got metal in it.
Any thing that could be sold as scrap metal gets picked up in under an hour.
If there’s one thing the people of Chicago hate, it’s the Packers.
If there are two things all the people of Chicago hate, it’s pretense.
We have The Bean here in Chicago, and the artist hates that we don’t call it “Cloud Gate.”
But, like, look at this thing. It’s a bean.
He moved out of the family home to go to grad school across the country.
When I went to go visit him (at the behest of my mom), he was incredibly careful about who I met and where we would go. During that trip I also overheard some bits of conversation while he was on the phone with… probably the mother of my secret half brother.
When he finished his degree, he didn’t come home and never really gave a coherent explanation as to why. He’s always been a bastard though, so I didn’t much care to inquire as long as he stayed gone.
Eventually I got a little older and got my first job. Suddenly he always needed money from me. I didn’t know it then, but I was paying part of his child support payments.
As to how I found out, I ended up going to grad school at the same institution where the mother of my half brother was employed, and so he confessed to things before I found out by running into this person.
I started to suspect my Dad might have a secret second family when I was in high school.
Maybe 10 years later, I learned that suspicion was correct.
What I mean is that most of these people are self interested fools who are nowhere near as knowledgeable as they believe themselves to be.
Most in that category are also not very good at their jobs, which leads to administrative bloat, torturously ineffective bureaucracy, and teaching positions going to whoever is best at politicking rather than the person who is better at teaching.
I don’t care at all about economic usefulness.
