DevCorp North: Worried Stupid

DevCorp North just can't help itself. Stupid is as stupid does, after all. They often make great efforts to prove their stupidity, and the recent threat of a CTA workers' strike demonstrates this neatly. DevCorp cried wolf, and has yet to correct themselves. The CTA unions were talking about a possible one-day walkout next Monday, December 17. However, it was publicly known last evening that this would not happen. The union called off their action and the major local media reported it immediately. It was on last night's web versions of the Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune. It was on last night's 10:00 TV newscasts. Nevertheless, some nervous nellie at DevCorp North put this on their website today: CTA walk-out affects SSA crew service In the event of a CTA walk-out (currently scheduled to affect CTA service on Monday, December 17), the Howard Street and Clark/Morse/Glenwood Special Service Areas will not have crew service. Please watch the news or check our website for updates. December 15, 2007 (source) Note the date of their posting. DevCorp North, a private nonprofit firm that pretends to create All Things Good in Rogers Park, so in touch, can't even pay close attention to a major news story that would have directly affected thousands of Rogers Park residents. Their posting warns us that - gasp! - the Special Service Areas "will not have crew service." Well, big deal. The underpaid Workfare prison-release crews won't be able to sweep up cigarette butts or discarded snack wrappers. Whoa, bolt the doors, folks, the DevCorp crews won't be out to keep things running smoothly! DevCorp wraps up their brief posting by advising us to "watch the news" for updates. Uhm, excuse me, DevCorp, why aren't YOU watching the news? RELATED: * CTA Walk-out Affects SSA Crew Service
