"[insert word or phrase] is a slur" really needs to be retired from common usage, or whoever says it needs to immediately be called to account for claiming something is a slur without providing evidence alongside their claim.
Bad things and bad people should be canceled, obviously, but this ill-positioned outrage that people fall back on is not helping humanity, and in that regard, cancel culture has been rather a failure.
sharing with my Chicago area family (those who are willing to listen that is...some still support today's Republicans, regardless of the damage they have done) Thank you Qasim, for the receipts!
"Corporate". and Corporations have certainly become terms of opprobrium in recent decades and certainly they deserve it. The notion that corporations are psychopathic, introduced quite some time ago (cf Edward 1st Baron Thurlow as quoted by RNDM31) is becoming more common as predatory capitalism digs its teeth into the body politic ever more deeply. Corporations, conveniently, believe they are entitled to human status in the matter of free speech, which amazingly includes making tax deductible donations to political parties. Corporations indignantly believe those donations should be anonymous except when they want to take credit for them.
Capitalism originated as a way of sharing risk. Corporations have engineered Capitalism as a way of escaping risk.
How horrible! My Dad was a Youngstown OH newspaper editor for 40 years and would be appalled at the Tribune. So thankful you shone the light on this travesty!
"Corporations have neither bodies to be punished, nor souls to be condemned, they therefore do as they like."

I’m all for criminal penalties for the board, upper management, and major owners of corporations found guilty of destroying people’s lives and making the environment toxic. Fines mean nothing. Until the people whose decisions and actions are made personally responsible, there will be no real changes. The typical CEO excuse, claiming ignorance, is nonsense. While corporations are NOT people, people make up the corporations.
Beautifully elucidated. Thank you for identifying & explaining the nuances.
The Tribune has been a right wing rag for decades
Thank you so much for this. I had no idea.
Thank you for the exposure !!!
Isn't Corporate a legal term?

Thanks very much for focusing on this topic. I don’t live in Illinois and wasn’t aware of Mayor Johnson’s accomplishments.

Shame on the Tribune. Racist claptrap!

Make America’s tax structure fair again to counteract robber barons and monopolies.
I hope everyone in Chicago can read this and understand that keeping mayor Johnson is the best decision for all of Chicago.💙❤️💜
I hope so too and completely agree.

Exactly, if corporations are people then when do we sentence its corrupt CEO to prison?
The Tribune is a disgrace as a media outlet. Brandon Johnson has been a terrible mayor. Both of these things can be true.
Thank you for highlighting this. It needed to be said, and you said it good!
