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.
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.

Equity over equality is all the rage.
Equity is disparate resources and opportunities with the goal of achieving equal outcomes.
Equality is equal opportunities.
MLK Jr.’s I Have a Dream speech referenced equality not equity.
”This sweltering summer of the Negro’s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality.”
Equal opportunity does not guarantee equal results. Jefferson said that the Constitution gives you the right to pursue happiness but you’ve got to catch it yourself. These slime want prosperity and happiness to be given to them.
Equity has nothing to do with equality and everything to do with redistribution of wealth. White men need not apply for a Wuhan Virus vaccine. “Get to the back of the line and hopefully die before you get your shot.”
Totally true and totally by design by lying Lori and dirty haired Arwady. To stop white people from the vaccine is all by design.
She’s actually cleaned up her hair. I bet she read your comment. Too funny though.
