That may be a union negotiated private insurance payout. I’m need someone with more knowledge chime in.

If they would present the news fairly and accurately, I would be a daily subscriber. But since they lie, I hope they go bankrupt.

“Also, why should the business survivors like ACE, HD, Walmart and Costco waste money on ads, when people/customers are lined up to get into every store all day.”

in point of fact, they’re not wasting money on ads ...

like almost like everyone else who does not subscribe to any local news rags, an insert packet of ad flyers that would normally be included with a newspaper is mailed to us every wednesday ... the regional newspaper printing plant prints, collates and mails those packets, and that’s a big source of revenue for them, but the ad packets are now almost non-existent in size, so that’s big loss of revenue for the local regional newspapers ...

I have dry eyes. When it gets down to hard economic reality, the news and media business is not as necessary as food and hard goods so when the economy tanks they get hit hard. The idiots actually think they can float above and be unaffected by the economic catastrophic that they were cheerleaders for?

They can always learn to code and then watch a federally subsidized slave H-1B foreigner get hired before them anyway.

“I though Mayor Lighthead fans would freely give their dollars to support the rag.”

Her real name is ‘Groot’ my friend.

”When the fish wraps decide to PO daily and insult daily about 40=50% of their possible customer eventually that will catch up with.”

When I couldn’t find toilet paper a few weeks ago I momentarily thought about buying the leftist Arizona Daily Republic to wipe my behind with but I hate them so much I refused to support them even for that.

I am delighted to see so many left wing union bolsheviks get their just rewards. Not all of the Chicago Tribune employees are liberal democrats, maybe 0.00001% are true God fearing, American patriots, but most of them pay dues to unions that support the extermination of babies in the womb, militant homosexual degeneracy, and the destruction of Christianity.

For these vomitous George Soros pukes (https://www.dictionary.com/browse/vomitous), I wish them eternal suffering and misery.

Hopefully, it is just the beginning of satanic torture headed their way.

“Did news stop happening?”

No, but it has been so corrupted as to become a near-worthless commodity.

I agree - but only members of the CPD active or retire can use Groot - they own it.

There are many other unprintable names for the unqualified, incompetent, carpet bagger, Soros paid for Mayor.

This has been going since GW won his first term in the urban areas of the big cities.

Wed and Friday are the big mail days for us re the ad bombs in our area.

Far better than TP, spend about $100.00 to install a bidet on each of your toilets and cut your TP use by about 90%. I know; I did.

This is main topic because of the flooding last night. And none of these issues were covered in the Tribune. Because of the furloughs. Which included: Sears Tower had power outages, Lower Wacker Drive is being flooded to a point that the CFD has to use boats to rescue stranded people.

Day of rain leaves Chicago River surging, roads flooding
