Do people still have to go work? fukk that
When I was a kid they tried to make you go to school and work in that shyt, but most of the times your parents had enough sense to tell you to stay home.
I gave Chicago up a few years ago. I just couldn't take the cold anymore and then I realized that I didn't have to take that shyt anymore, so I moved back South. It is less money in the South, but the trade off is that the temperatures are much more moderate.
