New year, new Proco “Joe” Moreno? Not so much. The former alderman was charged with DUI after doing a nice job of sideswiping 8 cars in the Gold Coast. It’s just the latest in a long line of crazy Moreno stories. New outmigration numbers are out and it’s not nice news for Illinois. Eric and Joe talk with Illinois Policy Institute chief economist Orphe Divounguy about why people are fleeing the state for nicer pastures. President Trump may have signed the new COVID relief bill already, but he’s still making a last ditch effort to make the stimulus payments even nicer by raising them to $2,000. What would major historical events have been like if Twitter had existed. Yeah, we would have been able to get searing hot takes on the bombing of Pearl Harbor, which would be terrible, but at least we’d get some nice memes out of it, we guess? And finally, a man ends up in the hospital after drinking chocolate milk from McDonalds and experiencing a burning sensation in his chest. What did you expect, a nice time? It’s McDonalds.
