As an Illinois resident, it boggles my mind that Pritzker goes on and on about affordability issues. Yet, on July 1, the gas tax will automatically increase to 49¢ per gallon.

Is your mind boggled because you don't understand the history of it? That it was signed into law in 2019 (long before Trump got Iran to close Hormuz) with automatic tax increases to keep up with inflation?

Searching “Pritzker” was a lot quicker than it took you to write this post. There’s a lesson in there, you might want to look something up before you assign blame based on your believies.

The Illinois gas tax was $.19 per gallon in 1990. That's $.5 per gallon in 2026, adjusted for inflation. Blaming current prices on Pritzker, who took office in 2019, is pretty sus.

Especially since OP even admits the increase is due to a law signed in 2018

All of the States are filling up their budget holes with the windfall income from high gas prices. Not one is seriously moving to reduce their take.

Pritzker was on the board of AIPAC. He’s the other side of the same coin!

Like 90 percent of Congress is funded by AIPAC!!!! And those who oppose receive predatory challenges!

i had my canadian pr last year but didn’t do the landing since covid hit. the deadline passed of course and the immigration office reached out to check if i’m still interested and if so i should re-do a medical. assuming my medical goes through and my pr is processed and accepted again, does anyone know if landing is still a thing? my original plan was to do a landing and move after 2 years. is this still possible or does canada basically want you to move in a year or so after pr is granted?

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
