Daywatch: Legislators consider action after State Farm rate hike

Good morning, Chicago. Gov. JB Pritzker wasted no time in calling on state legislators to do something about rising insurance rates after State Farm announced it was hiking homeowners insurance by 27.2% beginning this month, citing rising costs due to extreme weather events and pricier repairs. 'Enact a legislative solution during the veto session that prevents insurance companies from taking advantage of consumers through severe and unnecessary rate hikes, such as those proposed by State Farm,' Pritzker said in a social media post. The governor's angry words were met with a quick rebuttal from the Bloomington, Illinois-based insurer and state business interests, but other officials were just as quick to join in the politically popular call to hold down costs. 'I do agree with the governor that what State Farm did is wrong and they need to fix it,' House Speaker Emanuel 'Chris' Welch, a Democrat from Hillside, told the Tribune. 'If they don't, as a leader in this state, as a leader of one of our chambers, we're going to take a look at it because we have to protect our consumers.' Right now in Illinois, there's no effective mechanism to prevent companies like State Farm from imposing rates for home and auto insurance that are deemed to be excessive, according to those familiar with Illinois insurance law. Lawmakers are considering ways to address increased homeowners insurance costs including legislation championed by the Pritzker administration that would require a rate review process, compelling insurance companies to open their books so that state officials can assess whether the rate increases are too burdensome. Read the full story from the Tribune's Jeremy Gorner and Lizzie Kane. Here are the top stories you need to know to start your day, including: how a plan to upzone Broadway is dividing Edgewater, why the Bulls signed the shortest player in the NBA to a two-way contract and the history (and mystery) of ice cream sundaes. Today's eNewspaper edition | Subscribe to more newsletters | Asking Eric | Horoscopes | Puzzles & Games | Today in History Thirteen-year-old Xally Morales stared blankly at a letter she received from the Department of Homeland Security last month. She could not read the dozens of lines in English addressed to her. 'They say I have to leave the country immediately,' the young teen whispered in Spanish, barely meeting anyone's eyes at a Chicago law firm on a recent Friday afternoon. Swastikas were spray-painted on several buildings in Little Village over the weekend, and one building was tagged a second time with a pro-immigration enforcement statement, community members said. In the empty sky above a grocery store parking lot, Ald. Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth can see the future. There are more trees, more people walking. Gone is the gray asphalt that sits before her on Edgewater's 6000 block of North Broadway. She imagines a tall building rising in its place, bustling with commercial space at the bottom. As the deadline approaches for Congress to renew the U.S. Farm Bill, agricultural experts and farmers are calling on legislators to prioritize protecting topsoil in the Midwest and throughout the country, especially as the federal government is withdrawing from conservation initiatives. Natasha McClendon had $20 in her bank account and a bag of chicken in her fridge. It wasn't going to be enough to feed her three daughters, her husband and herself, which meant it was time to take her monthly visit to the St. Sabina parish food pantry. In the last several months, the McClendons have watched their government food assistance shrink. In December, Natasha McClendon took to shopping once a month at her church's food pantry to keep her family fed, supplementing what she could afford from Food4Less and Jewel-Osco. But there are still days she worries her kids are hungry. With a mix of curiosity and a little apprehension, the man stepped inside Our Lady of Mount Carmel in East Lakeview to celebrate Mass on a recent Sunday. It was the first time David Charles of Des Plaines had entered a church in roughly 20 years. The Bulls might have entered the NBA Summer League focused on rookie Noa Essengue and second-year forward Matas Buzelis, but Yuki Kawamura quickly stole the show. He averaged 10.2 points, 6.2 assists and 2.2 steals over five games of action in Las Vegas. Coach Ben Johnson and general manager Ryan Poles have spent the last six months rebuilding the Chicago Bears offense to Johnson's specifications. They overhauled the line and brought in several new weapons for second-year quarterback Caleb Williams. Now it's time to see what this looks like on the field. The origin story behind the ice cream sundae comes swirled with mystery, history, as well as chocolate and even a cherry on top. This summer in Chicago, three of the city's most prominent art spaces are presenting major exhibitions with LGBTQ themes. The MCA's 'City in a Garden: Queer Art and Activism in Chicago,' is a messy, exuberant gathering of painting, sculpture, photography, film and ephemera stretching from the 1980s to the present day, writes Lori Waxman.

21 Subtle Signs Someone Is Secretly Rich, But Hiding It

A few weeks ago, I was scrolling when I came across a post from user Againmrbrown on the popular Ask Reddit page asking, "What's a subtle sign someone is rich but hiding it?" and naturally, my curiosity was piqued. I thought the answers were fun enough to share, so here are some of the best: "'Are you rich?' 'Well, we are comfortable.'" "Dressed like Adam Sandler." "The lack of fucks given." "I used to teach English abroad. In one class we were doing our introductions, telling everyone our names and what we do. One guy introduced himself, and the whole class drew breath after he said his last name. Turns out he owned one of the biggest construction companies in the country. Guy carried a shabby briefcase and drove a beat-up RAV4. You couldn't tell he was loaded at all. My kind of guy." "I used to work with a guy who turned up late on his very first day. It was 1:30 in the afternoon when he arrived and said, 'To be fair, I'm the first person in my family to have a job in 500 years.'" "They can complain about costs, but it never stops them from doing necessary work or updating things. If you pay attention, you can notice who actually is stopped by barriers to purchasing things or buying services." "I used to work for Mercedes and Audi. The people who buy $150k cars outright are the ones who come in wearing almost-scruffy clothes. The people who come in wearing suits or chinos and sunglasses and Rolexes? They're not buying anything expensive." "The richest person I have ever met drove a 1999 Mercury and dressed like he delivers pizzas. He owns large apartment buildings around the country and works higher up at a large bank for his day job. Bought a $2 million house in cash and let it sit for two years while he did another $2 million of renovations, but looking at him, he's just a regular guy, no fancy clothes or 'I'm better than you' attitude. His favorite restaurant is Chili's, if that tells you anything." "They always prefer to spend money rather than time. I was waiting in line for a music festival with a friend. A festival we already had tickets to. He realized that the 'preferred' line was empty. So he straight up bought everyone in our crew preferred tickets, just so we could jump the line. That was, like, the only advantage. We literally all ended up with two tickets, because he didn't want to wait 20 minutes." "Wearing nameless clothes, no flashy brands or vending machine-style jewellery. You'll never hear them talking about money; if you do, they'll never remark about how much they have or earn, and if they're a stranger, they will probably lie about their job to keep you from suspecting them of having money." "Nice teeth and nice shoes. They also don't talk about money." "No debt. They buy stuff as they need it, without having to wait until payday or save up. Having money provides a degree of spontaneity that us non-rich can't grasp." "I've cooked for a lot of rich people. There's a big difference between people who grew up rich (were born into money) versus the people who made something for themselves." "Both are generally not going to be overly flashy if they're actually rich. People who are born into money usually don't realize that most of the world is struggling, so they'll talk about their multiple homes, travel, and other expensive experiences as if it's normal conversation, and like you should be able to relate. Most likely, they grew up sheltered and detached from reality. I've noticed these people are pretty socially awkward and don't have a lot of genuine friends in their lives, so they'll be REALLY tight with their immediate family. They'll have some flashy things, but it'll be silly expenses — a dumb sculpture, spending ridiculous amounts of money on their dog, a drug addiction, etc." "The people who earn their money are usually aware of the difference between them and most of the world. They can even still hold onto frugal tendencies. So it'll be more subtle clues: jewelry (on a woman, look at their ring), name brand or designer clothes, bags, sunglasses, how their hair, teeth, and skin look perfect, what kind of car they drive…" "When their 'old' clothes still look better than your brand new ones." "No cellphone case." "Their children are living in an expensive apartment, traveling a lot, have expensive hobbies, maybe even a severe coke habit. First generation rich are usually humble and not flashy, but that's very rare with subsequent generations." "They've got a certain ease in their attitude, never worrying about money or showing off, making decisions right then and there and not worrying about how to pay." "Having an extremely curated aesthetic and going away on trips with family more than once a year." "What's a big tell? How much someone spends on their hobbies." "They keep a Modigliani in the bathroom. (This happened to me: my partner, who was an art history major, commented after we left a very modest apartment that there was a Modigliani in the bathroom.)" And finally: "You can never really tell. There are fancy people who are rich and there are people who try to be fancy but are living in debt. There are people who look like crap who are filthy rich, and there are people who look like crap who are poor. Some rich people are humble, and others are assholes; you can never really tell unless you have access to their bank accounts." Tell me all your thoughts in the comments below. Or, if you have your own anecdote to add, feel free to leave that too! I love hearing what you have to say.

NYC Mayor Adams vows to use AI, blockchain tech to boost services if re-elected

Welcome to Gotham 2.0. Mayor Eric Adams said he plans to rely much more on artificial intelligence to assist New Yorkers if he's re-elected to a second term. 'We're gonna run a smarter city,' he told The Post Thursday during an interview at Gracie Mansion. Advertisement 'I'm talking about having an opportunity now to use everything from artificial intelligence to blockchain, new technology that's out there that could make our city smarter, so that our working class people can get the proper delivery of services.' One example being explored is using blockchain technology to speed up the process for providing copies of birth and death certificates to the public, the Mayor's Office said. Another is using AI to quickly translate English to other languages when needed, such as helping authorities better assist victims when they use voice-controlled drones during search-and-rescue missions and other emergencies.
