If you want an extra $1000.00 a month, get a PO Box in Cook County. Illinois.

Just make sure you don’t check the box that says “white” under race.

I would avoid the trains up there.

Too many are using their guaranteed income to buy gasoline and matches.

Makes total sense given that the Cook County Employees pension fund is 62% funded (according to Grok). Clearly they've got money to burn.

The national bailout of Chicago and NYC when the next democrat wins the presidency will be so comforting.

Got to pay the pension funds as well. 150k for city admistrators that worked a useless job fkr 20 years and will get the pension for 40.

An extra $1000 will help in being able to buy more gas and matches without dipping into their SNAP and Welfare cash .

Had a coworker that was no longer living in Illinois, but was still using his medical insurance more than 5 years after he quit his job as a teacher. These are the highly educated people that look down at folks like me.

A gimmick to attract support and voters. Like all the other gimmicks tried by the leftist socialist it will fail, leaving behind some angry destitute people.

Cook County homeowners are getting their tax bills in the mail—and they’re seeing a 16% rise in the city alone, while communities like North Lawndale are up 98%, Englewood is up 82%, and West Garfield Park is up a staggering 133%.


And they wanted, advocated for, and enthusiastically voted for every single percent. They should be so happy they got what they wanted.

I would say that that constitutes mail fraud, but since they are reimagining crime over there, I'd feel pretty safe trying it.

LOL

Even the Dem treasurer is saying they need to cut down on spending.

This will fail spectacularly. It will either show this young generation, who yearn for socialism, that it doesn’t work. Or, they will double down and say that it wasn’t “real socialism.”

This is a great example of the tragedy of pure democracy. The majority will continue to vote to steal the money of the minority, even when there’s none left, schools and infrastructure are crumbling, and lawlessness overcomes communities.

Human nature corrupts democracy as much as it corrupts Marxism. Likely why the framers considered the Constitutional Republic a “more perfect” government. Not perfect… none are. Just more perfect.

Looked into it. Have to make less than 38k. Found a lot for sale for 3k, prop taxes were $700/yr, improbably another $700/yr in lawn care. If you want to help out a 18 year old kid buy them the lot and let them collect 12k yearly.

Some clarifications.

It is $500, not $1000
It is not permanent, it is only funded through next year
Cook county does not have a budget shortfall for 2026. They reduced spending and forecast a balanced budget
You cannot get it just by setting up a PO box
