A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Preckwinkle ‘s solution will be to hire 6 more family members as advisors making $150K a year. There, fixed it.
I have an idea. Let’s bring back the soda tax! let’s increase the county’s share of the real estate tax too. Yes, and let’s put it towards pension and hospital expansion for people who pay little to no taxes at all. That’s cook county. They know you’re stuck so they’ll keep taxing you!
AOC Occasionally Cortex says none of us should go back to work! A fundamental change to society. Maybe Preckwinkle should jump right onto this great progressive idea! Nobody work, sit at home, don’t spend any money except on your SNAP card. Maybe that will help raise more money for the county? I just realized that the last time I filled up my car with gas was on March 2nd and it’s still 3/4 full! Haven’t paid much gas tax, am I doing ok AOC?
