AR-10s for sale at the Belle-Clair Fairgrounds & Expo Center Gun Show, after the state of Illinois passed its "assault weapons" ban into law, in Belleville, Illinois, U.S., January 14, 2023. The state's high court in a 4-3 vote rejected arguments by a group of plaintiffs led by a Republican state Representative Dan Caulkins, that the ban violated the Illinois Constitution by not applying the law equally to all citizens. The plaintiffs also argued the law violated the right to keep and bear arms under the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment. That Second Amendment argument is central to separate ongoing federal lawsuits also challenging Illinois' law.

NEW YORK, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs' (GS.N) global head of commodities research Jeff Currie, a prominent analyst who accurately predicted a surge in commodity prices in the 2000s, is retiring, according to a memo seen by Reuters. Julian Salisbury, chief investment officer of its asset and wealth management arm, is departing to join investment firm Sixth Street, according to an announcement last month. His forecast was borne out in what would become known as the commodities supercycle, during which crude oil surged to record highs in 2008. More recently, Currie revived his prediction for another supercycle fuelled by pandemic stimulus measures and rebounding economic activity. Currie joined Goldman in 1996 and was promoted to managing director in 2002, then partner in 2008.

☆ Here's why public transit keeps running out of money
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-25 | by ( Juhohn Lee | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Public transit is a vital force for the American economy. The American Public Transportation Association estimates that 87% of trips directly benefit the local economy, with $1 invested in public transit believed to generate $5 in economic returns. But the state of public transit in the U.S. is declining rapidly as transit across the nation faces a fiscal crisis. "If a transit system doesn't have enough money, we can limit the hour of services and the frequency of service," said Norton. Watch the video to learn more about public transit in the U.S. and why it is in decline despite its economic benefits.

☆ Support for using violence to 'coerce' members of Congress nearly doubled over the last 6 months — even more so among Democrats — according to a study
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-25 | by ( Sonam Sheth | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

A recent study found that public support for using violence to "coerce" members of Congress nearly doubled from January to June. Support among self-identified Democrats for political violence grew by about 250%, according to the study. The spike was most pronounced among self-identified Democrats: in January, 7% of Democrats supported using political violence against lawmakers, and that number climbed to 16% in June. By contrast, the support for political violence against Congress among self-identifying Republicans increased by 50%. Specifically, the survey found roughly 4% of Americans — an estimated 12 million people — supported using violence to return Trump to office in April.

"If you take away our health, you take away our wealth," Sanchez, a community planning manager at the Southeast Environmental Task Force, told Insider. The first-of-its-kind settlement with HUD could be a model for environmental justice advocates in other cities. If the city didn't agree to address environmental harms, it risked losing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal housing money. "Now all levels of city government have to listen to us and develop policies that are protective of public health." Sanchez said the case underscored the importance of updating city policies, because administrations come and go.

There were at least 19 Black scientists and technicians who worked on the Manhattan Project. In the labs, there were at least 19 Black scientists and technicians among the 400 or so scientists employed by the project. The project was unique for bringing together "colored and white, Christian and Jew" for a common cause, Arthur Compton, the Manhattan Project director in Chicago, said. The Manhattan Project did create opportunities for Black Americans' advancements, but many Black workers grappled with Jim Crow segregation.

Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood has a microgrid, which can operate independently if necessary. A microgrid, a smaller version of the city's electrical power grid, went live last year in the iconic South Side neighborhood of Bronzeville. It's this kind of energy reform, said William Davis, the executive director of the Bronzeville Community Development Partnership, that should "start in the hardest-hit areas." Solar panels on several neighborhood buildings are also contributing power to the microgrid, integrating the zero-carbon energy into Chicago's grid system. Together, the microgrid and energy initiatives represent progress in a community that might have otherwise been overlooked, Davis said.

When Taylor Swift's Eras tour rolls into Singapore next year, Rjay Ignacio said he'll be there — whether he has a ticket or not. "If I'm not able to get a ticket, I'm still going to Singapore," he said. He said he would only travel "for Taylor … I'm a big fan." Swifties, or Taylor Swift fans, spend an average of $1,330 on tickets, food and travel, according to the research company QuestionPro. To avoid facing an "astronomical price surge," Jakarta resident Wid said one of his friends booked a hotel in Singapore before Swift's tour tickets even went on sale.

☆ How radio can thrive in the era of AI by leaning into its humanity
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-28 | by ( Shawn Campbell | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

Shawn Campbell is the founder and general manager of Chicago's CHIRP Radio, 107.1FM. In fact, I believe the investment audio-focused companies are making in AI gives some radio stations the chance to show what makes them vital. Live radio, done well, builds a sense of connection that — to my mind — is unmatched by any other medium. Hosts on live, local radio stations reveal themselves over time to their audience, rewarding regular listening in a way that feels similar to building a friendship. I see the chance for radio stations like CHIRP to embrace their humanity and find listeners looking for a human connection.

☆ Chicago's ambitious plan to convert 5 million square feet of empty office space into affordable housing places a big bet on remote work

To revitalize the area, the city has approved three projects to turn vacant commercial space into affordable housing. While some residents are skeptical, the LaSalle Reimagined Initiative is just one of many creative solutions urban planners are raising to fill the space. Chicago's downtown office space posted a 22.4% vacancy rate in the first quarter of 2023, which poses the question: What does the city do with all that vacant commercial office space? The LaSalle Reimagined Initiative: A new housing developmentThree adaptive reuse proposals were selected for the LaSalle Reimagined Initiative, Chicago's ambitious plan to repurpose a portion of LaSalle Street's 5 million square feet of vacant commercial space into mixed-income housing. Marisa Novara, the commissioner of Chicago's Department of Housing, said that the LaSalle Reimagined Initiative hopes to create nearly 600 affordable-housing units.

☆ Chicago is spending over $17 million to add miles of new bike lanes — all in hopes of curbing segregation and boosting racial equity

Chicago's cycling community has exploded in recent years, and the city plans to add 150 more miles of lanes to accommodate this growth. The new, ambitious Chicago Cycling Strategy from the Chicago Department of Transportation, worth over $17 million, includes expanding Chicago's bike network by designing and implementing 150 miles of low-stress bikeways over the next several years. If you have friends that ride, ride together, if you have family members that are willing to ride, especially older ones, ride with them. Earlier in the pandemic, Chicago launched a program to give away 5,000 bikes to eligible Chicago residents by 2026. Green Corps participants have helped to assemble the bikes in the Bike Chicago program.
