Chicago is most corrupt big city, Illinois third most corrupt state in country, study finds By Travis Fedschun | Fox News Chicago may be known as the "Second City," but it remains Number 1 in the ranking of most corrupt big cities in the nation, according to a new report. The report, titled "Corruption in Chicago and Illinois," released Monday from the University of Illinois at Chicago notes that while there's been a decline in recent years of federal convictions for public corruption, the Windy City still leads other localities. "Additionally, Illinois remains the third most corrupt state when compared on a per capita basis to other large states and the District of Columbia," the report's authors note. The group used the most recent figures from the Department of Justice's Public Integrity Section, which found that there were a total of 25 public corruption convictions during 2017 in the Northern District of Illinois, which includes all of Chicago and the northern third of Illinois. That was down from 30 in 2016 and down an average of 33.6 per year over the last 10 years. https://www.foxnews.com/us/chicago-is-most-corrupt-big-city-illinois-third-most-corrupt-state-in-country-study-finds

....what's your prognosis on this one Hap............ Gilead announces long-awaited price for Covid-19 drug remdesivir By Matthew Herper @matthewherper June 29, 2020 Since remdesivir became the first medicine shown to have an impact on Covid-19, doctors, politicians, and Wall Street investors have engaged in a tense guessing game: What would its maker, Gilead Sciences, charge for the drug? Now there is an answer. For all governments in the developed world, including the U.S. government’s Indian Health Services and the Department of Veterans Affairs, Gilead will charge $2,340 for a five-day course. U.S. insurers, in addition to Medicare and Medicaid, will pay 33% more, or $3,120. Countries in the developing world will get the drug at greatly reduced prices through generic manufacturers to which Gilead has licensed production. https://www.statnews.com/2020/06/29/gilead-announces-remdesivir-price-covid-19/

ZERO Covid-19 cases through Friday......bragging?....for what?....sharing what compliance can potentially yield?.....you betcha.....there is a segment of society that is bravado, macho, anti-mask/distancing, as well as businesses who ignore the same in chase of the almighty dollar voided since March......and that is the administration's fault?......why the hell have state level governments then?....

...probably why they have been largely ignored to date, allowing them to build up muster...great strategy.......let's wait LONGER........

California Democrats pass resolution calling for John Wayne Airport to be renamed The resolution calls for the reversal of the 1979 decision to rename it after Duke. By Adam Shaw | Fox News California Democrats in Orange County are demanding that the county’s John Wayne Airport be renamed and all likenesses of Wayne be removed from the airport, over “racist and bigoted statements” made by the American icon decades ago. “The Democratic Party of Orange County condemns John Wayne’s racist and bigoted statements, and calls for John Waynes’ name and likeness to be removed from the Orange County airport, and calls on the OC Board of Supervisors to restore its original name: Orange County Airport,” the resolution, passed Friday, says. The resolution, first reported by the Los Angeles Times, calls on the Orange County Board of Supervisors to reverse the 1979 decision to rename it after Duke, and cites remarks he made in a 1971 interview with Playboy. “I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people,” he said in that interview nearly 50 years ago. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/california-democrats-resolution-john-wayne-airport-renamed

....guess I better throw out my Crest and Clorox......... L'Oreal to remove the word 'whitening' from its products The decision comes as beauty brands receive backlash for their skin-lightening products amidst ongoing protests for racial equality. By Vandana Rambaran | Fox News Industry-leading French cosmetics company L'Oreal announced they will be removing words like "whitening" and "lightening" from their products after a number of beauty brands received backlash for their skin-lightening products amidst ongoing protests for racial equality. "The L'Oreal Group has decided to remove the words white/whitening, fair/fairness, light/lightening from all its skin evening products," the company said in a statement. The move signals a shift by beauty giants to stand up against racial stereotypes. L'Oreal's skin brightening creams are amongst the most popular on the market and are targeted towards Asian, African and Caribbean buyers who face a cultural stigma where lighter skin is perceived as more desirable. L'Oreal's promise for change comes a day after consumer products leader Unilever announced they'd be changing the name of their "Fair & Lovely" cream that is popular in Asia for skin lightening The product reportedly generated $500 million in revenue in India last year, according to Yahoo News, but the brand says they are working to acknowledge how their terminology and branding perpetuates racist stereotypes. https://www.foxnews.com/world/loreal-remove-word-whitening-products
