As the pipeline builds... Monday, 03 August 2020 17:21:49 CDT David-Braverman Chicago, General, Personal, Politics, Weather, Work (0) I'm waiting for a build to finish so I can sign off work for the day, so I've queued up a few things to read later: The Atlantic's cover this month will be "How the Pandemic Defeated America" by Ed Yong. In a filing today, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr suggested his office is investigating the president for all kinds of bank fraud. Pass the popcorn. Charles Blow accuses the president of forecasting his own election fraud. Recreational weed sales in Illinois topped a record $61m last month, a 28% jump over June. Chicago-based GCM Grosvenor, a company I've worked with twice in my career, is going public. CityLab looks at an effort on the South Side of Chicago to "reinvent the corner store." Illinois had one of the hottest Julys on record. Looks like the build is done, and all the tests passed. (I love green pipelines.)
