Makes sense. Isn't this sort of the standard playbook though? Wealth accumulation seeks wealth retention.

This was a nice, surprise win earlier this week on my commute in. Very excited to see it done.

Re: A New Way to Rank America’s Best Cities for Bicycling

I recognize this is taking a different approach to grading, but does Chicago deserve to rank 79th?

- 1.7% of commuters ride to work (city population 2.7M)
- 200+ miles of cycling infrastructure, including 18 mile lakefront trail
- 13K bike racks
- Shared bike system (Divvy) with 3.8M trips in 2017
- 2020 plan to connect neighborhoods, cross-town and regional network (https://www.cityofchicago.o...

Re: Voice Assistants Six+ Years In

Jeff Judge — Sun, 08 Apr 2018 11:19:26 -0000

We have an Echo in the kitchen and a Sonos One in each of the rooms that our children share. We also have an Echo Dot in our master bathroom. The whole family loves using Alexa to play music, ask questions, and control things. It always surprises me that our children prefer to ask a question via voice (“What’s the score of the Bulls game?”), vs grabbing one of our phones and using Google. I think this will continue to play out as voice assistants grow in capability and availability on the go and at work. My kids feel like a great litmus here.

We do the same with my father-in-laws credentials. I can’t see this model lasting beyond the next 5-10, it runs so counter to consumer expectations.

Great perspective from a year on the rode. Really enjoyed listing to this, thanks for posting!

Long-game optimist here - it'll be nice when it's done. The first phase looks great.

Aww, that was definitely Dan. Thanks for sharing that story, and I miss him a lot too. I think about him a lot as I raise my kids as I think he had a good sense for right and wrong.

Re: Donald Trump call for 'feds' in Chicago confounds city leaders, police experts

Jeff Judge — Thu, 26 Jan 2017 14:07:28 -0000

2.7M people live in the city of Chicago. We don't all live in the neighborhoods where these shootings happen. I live in a neighborhood of 39K people - 1 homicide has occurred in the past year.

Run wherever you want with your narrative though.

Chicago is not a war zone. These shootings are primarily gang related and geographically limited.

I like the simplicity in messaging here. Nice work.

Re: John Cullerton stumbles, and Bruce Rauner pounces

Jeff Judge — Sat, 03 Dec 2016 16:55:02 -0000

Ridiculous assertion. I have three kids in CPS and every teacher they have had have been hard working, incredibly bright people. Your beef should be with the dysfunctional relationship between CTU and CPS officials, who failed to work together effectively to prevent the pension debt over the past 10 years.

Re: Fox News Cheers Trump Saving 1,000 Carrier Jobs; Denounced Obama For Saving 1.5 Million Auto Industry Jobs

Jeff Judge — Thu, 01 Dec 2016 16:27:05 -0000

I don't have enough information to know if it was a good move or not. If the details come out, let's circle back to discuss. I'm assuming the state of Indiana knows what it's doing and offered the right incentives to make it happen.

Let's not be coy though and call Obama a socialist for putting a financial package together to save autoworker jobs, while hailing Trump for doing the same thing.

Jeff Judge — Thu, 01 Dec 2016 12:45:11 -0000

Come on, that's cherry-picking Obama's words. Easy to throw back hundreds of audio and video clips of unification. Recent example: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Regardless, my point is that the author has made a fair, logical argument contrasting the work done to save the Carrier jobs vs the work done to save the auto industry. I think he made a valid point.

> We won, you lost. Get over it!

That's ridiculous. We're one country. Step out of your shell and consider the author's viewpoint. Seems like an accurate assessment to me.
