Arranged by the Coalition to End Money Bond. Outside the James R. Thompson Center in downtown Chicago.
Quoting from their press release: Every year the state of Illinois incarcerates more than a quarter of a million people who are awaiting trial. The current system treats people who cannot afford money bonds as if they are guilty until proven innocent. Just a few days in jail can cause someone to lose their housing, job, government benefits, and even custody of their children.
Cook County has made great progress towards ending money bond and pretrial incarceration. Approximately 2,000 people remain locked up in Cook County Jail simply because they cannot afford to pay a money bond. It's time to end wealth based pretrial incarceration and dramatically reduce the number of people jailed in Illinois.
This is not just an issue in Illinois. It is a common practice in many other areas of the country as well.

I think its interesting how its purely cyclical and has nothing to do with political power (Reagan v. Clinton). Previous recessions were followed by strong job growth. But with so many jobs lost in this recession, economists are not sure that robust gains are coming this time.
Earlier that day, I had to do something I never get used to participate in yet another round of downsizing at work. For the third time in the same company, I found myself either letting people go, being let go, or sitting in the gut-wrenching limbo in between.
three times...
This time, I wasn’t part of the cut but it didn’t make it any easier.
Instead, I lay there, heavy with guilt. Watching immigrant colleagues, hardworking and kind, lose their jobs in a harsh economical situation in a northen country that doesn't favor them in the labour market.
I’ve been there... Many times.
Capitalism doesn’t care.
This image of the light fixture is what I stared at while trying to fall asleep, and failing while my mind ran loops of memories.
memories of old of past terminations throughout my career, and other colleagues whom i haven't seen again since their termination, where they had to go back to their country of origin due to visa issues.
It’s was just a ceiling light But that night, it became the silent witness of the storm.
a Storm in their lives and in my mind, and it kept company throughout the night till the morning when i had to go back to work, to continue witness the rest terminations.
with no signle minute of rest, or eyelid shut.
this ceiling light was the only thing watching me spiral through another sleepless night.

Here are exactly the kinds of scenarios I like to seek out during my walks around town. My consistent preference that backlit plastics be stricken from signpoles individuates me from many ordinary citydwellers.
While they're all fretting about vacant properties and jobloss, I'll be cheerfully admiring the beam's vertical blue purity, out amid the winsome scraggliness of the leftover floral landscaping.

CTV news journalist, Nicole Lampa has reported on many plant closures and layoffs in the K-W region recently.
The simple inability to pay bond often has severe negative consequences on the very things that help someone charged with a crime succeed: employment, stable housing, and strong family and community connections. Pre-trial detention can cause loss of housing and/or jobs, separation of families, and lost custody of children. It also results in higher rates of conviction, as people are forced to plead guilty in order to go home rather than fight their charges. With the stakes so high, CCBF hopes to alleviate the harm for as many people as possible by assisting them in paying their bonds, allowing them to remain free while fighting their cases.

Found this bestseller so absorbing that I read it all in 3 or 4 days. This excerpt summarizes the author's main concern, but throughout the book he describes many surprising examples of where AI automation is already taking over. For example, more brief news articles than we realize (because publishers hide that) have been written entirely by artificial intelligence, which one expert predicted will replace 90 percent of the remaining journalists.
"Years ago we had a Canadian government campaign that said, buy Canadian products. What happened to that? If we just cry about the loss of jobs and continue to buy what’s cheap.
We need to buy what keeps our neighbour working, that way we keep working too."

since losing my job a couple months ago, I have started working part time at a local deli. It's nice here...and smells good....while I try to figure out what's next.
