Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
50 cases and they shut down?
WOW how many are false positives?
And when you would find it alarming—100 cases, 500 cases, WHEN? By the time you’d find it alarming there’s a likelihood it would be beyond hope for the community at large. Isn’t it better to be on the conservative side when it comes to public health. How conservative is a matter for debate, of course.
Let the BS come to a head! I’m sick and tired of this BS already.
Let’s look at the example of Sweden and open up! If your afraid, please stay in your home! Time for all out and open Illinois! We are sick of this BS!
I think you should be able to say bullshit. Maybe I will change the software that screens those things.
Somehow you’re absolutely sure your point of view is right. That confidence amazes me. Are you a doctor? Do have other credentials the rest of us can consider for your exaggerated level of confidence? Why you distrust the various ones you’ve seen and heard in the media so concretely? If you are weak in answering literally any of these questions, then why should the public health be likely so heavily jeopardized by believing and maybe following you as a guru on this topic?
Lana, thanks for that good summary of where we’re at (confronting the various official effusions of coronavirus BS, such as at Bradley U.), and where we need to go from here (“. . . look at the example of Sweden and open up! If your afraid, please stay in your home!”) Couldn’t have said it better or shorter.
