Chicago Cyclists Are Buying Out Tamale Carts To Keep Vendors Home And Safe From ICE

Next week: the street price of tamales has shot up as enterprising cyclists have cornered the market and are selling tamales with no competition.

(That's just a sarcastic, cynical take. But seriously, good of these Chicagoans to help support their neighbors and keep them safe.)

Cycling x Solidarity’s rides benefit vendors of all types, including those who sell tamales, elotes and tortas throughout Pilsen, Hermosa and Little Village.

I'm okay with tamales, they're good but I wouldn't really want more than a couple. However, buying out a torta vendor would be dangerous for me, I don't think I'd trust myself around a basket full of torta.
