I live in Chicago but work in NYC and I’m curious because I see these crazy buildings every time I fly in there.

I can see it economically in terms of less billionaires in Chicago relative to NY able to pay for windows on all sides homes.

But also wonder if the engineering required to withstand winds for those types of buildings holds up in Chicago.

I travel to NYC from Chicago on business a lot but this time the plane was redirected and flew up the Hudson and I had a great view of the skyline and was struck by these overly skinny and tall buildings.

Why?

Yep it’s a vent. My wife is stressed out at work worried she’s going to lose her job. My son has a sports gambling problem and has moved back home and I keep paying off his debts. My daughter just graduated from college and can’t find a job and is at home. My sister just told me she has cancer. My mother in law is dying but not fast enough not to be a huge burden on my wife taking care of her. And she didn’t save money so I’m supporting her.

Does that magic moment ever come together when it’s just me that’s fucked and I can decompartmentalize and the rest of the world is cool so I can focus on myself?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
