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.

The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Part 2 of: The Sky Is Falling!
Remember when JB said he wanted 20,000 ventilators? We just got back to the 200 range and now everyone wants to freakout. This whole thing has played out like a bad movie. The media is just awful.
More fake fearmongering from the Democrat propaganda machine. Pritzker fakes the numbers. Lightfoot fakes the numbers.
I do not believe any numbers that Lighthead or Pritzker put forth. The numbers have been so jumbled and played with since the beginning there is no one place that has the truth.
The cases do not refelct an ective case either.
Brace for the seasonal flu.
Expect the lamestream media’s fear mongering to reach even higher heights than when covid kicked off. First, it’s never defined as distinct from general flu/respiratory illness that always increases as we get colder, second, UNLESS they are giving you comparative DATA from 2019, it is NOT worth squat.
