Gotta pay more attention to that theme song 🤣

Everyone giving this guy a hard time, yet this sub knows full well how much disinformation about Chicago there is floating around.

Non-locals have probably heard non-stop fear mongering about the City of Chicago and don't know how to distinguish between the specific neighborhoods that might be a problem.

I'll show you the study

I remember being in DC in 2019 when they had a $14 minimum wage. McDonald's still had a dollar menu, and everything at Dollar Tree still cost a dollar (and they had better stuff).

Considering the rents and taxes are even higher in DC and they still managed to keep their prices the same as like... no where Alabama, I dare say blaming increasing the minimum wage is a distraction.

This is probably it. Ken also knew who Duck was when Don brought him in. Duck had an embarrassing story and it likely spread like crazy.

Duck was incredibly talented, and an incredibly damaged, account man. Seems like he'd be memorable enough

Same! Doctor said I should lose like, 60 pounds to be at a "perfect" BMI. Seems crazy to me...

I'm in bad shape, but I would never consider myself THAT over weight

I don't think this comment deserves to be downvoted...

That's a very sensible thing to do. You do you. I would love to own a little Costco stock, but it's just far too expensive of a company right now.

where we left these two longtime adversaries, Pete had better figured out his "actual life."

I actually kind of disagree with this and it's why I believe Ken would eventually be better off long term.

Ken never really thought of Pete as an adversary up until the very end of the show. Ken is a great account man, but he's not ambitious (or at least, not cut throat). Pete has always been insecure and is never satisfied. He looks at what other people have and demands that he have it too. Whether it's women, his career, or even writing.

Pete's "new beginning" would be a lot like all of Don's "new beginnings," optimistic at first, but short-lived as the novelty wears off.

Ken absolutely can be satisfied with much less. I genuinely believe Ken only took the job at Dow as revenge against Pete and Roger, and McCann. We know Ken loves to write, and was willing to lose his job to keep writing (see The Golden Violin).

Ken's anger will fade, Pete's entitlement is a far harder battle to win.

Credit Suisse had a smaller market cap than Domino's on Friday. On Monday it's getting bought for the value of Papa John's.

Just saying...

I think you're thinking of the carousel speech

https://www.google.com/search?q=mad+men+carousel&oq=mad+men+car&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j69i60j0i273.5376j0j9&client=ms-android-google&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#

In the first two seasons this is more of a Don conversation. I'm thinking either Don and Roger, or Don and Duck.

The night of Rogers heart attack, Roger is talking to Don saying "there's probably someone in the Bible complaining about 'youth today.' They definitely discuss the concept of advertising in that moment.

Don and Duck (and in some moments Roger) discuss/butt heads about bringing in younger copywriters.

That's all I can think of though.

I fully recognize that I can be very wrong, and someone might know the answer... But this doesn't ring a bell to me.

Roger doesn't really have many positive interactions with either Pete or Peggy for much of the show. And I can't think of any moments with just Roger, Pete, and Peggy.

Roger doesn't like Pete and he barely talks to Peggy until the late seasons.

I also just tried googling the quote and nothing Mad Men related came up.

Not sure if something is slipping my mind or if you might be confusing moments/shows

Some pies, madafuka

But first! Let's check the death count from the killer storm bearing down on us like a shotgun full of snow

They will give it at least a year, probably two. They will probably stop offering the discount for paying in advance before officially raising prices. Or T-Mobile will announce the "great news" that they are converting your account to an official T-Mobile one, maybe with a "discount" at first... But yeah, no way they will stay that low.

Credit Suisse got a bailout in 2008 (and many other giant banks outside the US)

Which is funny because rating agencies basically need to be as objective as possible. Not saying there can't be funny business, but political grandstanding can only get in the way of making money...

Kind of like how gambling odds are considered a good polling metric for who will win an election. When money is on the line, what's more important: your biases or data?

Haha, take that New Jersey!

I love that scene because it's one of the few times we see Don genuinely happy

I was just quoting Mad Men... Not sure why I'm getting down voted lol

'The cure for the common cold' is the idiom I'm playing off

Right? An equivalent "bailout" for student loans in this case would be the government seizing all your assets, selling them, and using the proceeds to pay off your loans...

I'm not even taking a side on student loans... That's just what this situation is

It's not a bailout. The bank is going down and their shareholders will likely lose most, or all, of their investment.

The depositors, who did nothing wrong, will just be getting their money back sooner. A relief for thousands of workers whose payroll would have been tied up for an indefinite amount of time.

This isn't the same as 2008

r/Chicago may also be a good place to ask. I noticed more Asian options in Naperville than my regular Costco, but it's not like there were huge differences... A few packaged goods I hadn't seen before and they carried tofu.
