Chicago is not dominated by a single industry like these others, but

- it鈥檚 an actual city (unlike LA)
- with world-class food (unlike DC)
- representing the 7th largest GDP by city (bigger than SF)
- and doesn鈥檛 cost $2m to live in a shoebox (unlike NYC)

These other cities are great, though.

There are only four tier-1 cities in the 馃嚭馃嚫:

New York (finance)
DC (government)
San Francisco (tech)
LA (media & entertainment)

No other cities are power centers for aspirational talent. Sorry.

Broad-based tariffs are bad economics and politics. Always has been.

Kansas last elected a Dem to the US Senate in 1932. What was important about 1932?

Republicans passed the Smoot-Hawley tariff in 1930, and in '32 voters had the 1st chance to respond to its effects. Dems gained 97 House, 12 Senate seats, 11 governorships & the presidency.
