-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
After the first five months of this year outpaced 2020 in both shootings and murders, Matthew Saniie, Foxx’s chief data officer, said, “I don’t know if we’re at a point where we’ve established a new pattern of violence that we should expect in our city.”

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.

Everybody needs a side hustle these days, and mine is Ukraine, where I am now.
More evidence that KFOX has absolutely no idea of what the increasing number of murders means. Just keep letting the criminals go and keep failing to even show up for court sessions. Sooner or later you will “get it” when some one near and dear to you becomes a victim of a misconception.
So exactly how bad must it get for the obvious to be admitted!? You can’t fix a problem if you won’t accept it first.
The dereliction of Lightfoot and Foxx when it comes to public safety has no limit it seems. Pritzker just ignores the clown show – unfit to lead!
every prisoner Kim releases should be released at her home
If reliable data shows murder rates declining, it would be thanks to the wonders of modern medical science and hard work of doctors. Each gunshot victim racks up how much in unpaid bills at Stroger Hospital? “Help, I’ve been shot!”…”No worries, the crime rate is going down.” There used to be safe areas and times, now it’s a shooting zone in every neighborhood, 24/7 the city is paralyzed by the fear of criminal gangs.
The states attorney loves the criminals. End of story.
I’ve often wondered where dim bulbs were manufactured. Now we know!
Is this guy nuts! Really!- No wonder crime is so high in cook county with morons like this!
2,360 people shot in Chicago to date, 408 of those shot dead, and a total of 433 homicides to date. States Attorney’s Office denies increasing violent crime numbers. As was said in the Wizard of Oz, “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”. None of the lies and false information released y the failure Foxx matters one bit because when running for election she has a (D) in back of her name.
Spewing BS is nothing but a big FU! A misconception that you’ve been ventilated.
Read John Kass’ excellent column. They spew BS, we know it’s BS, they know that we know. But they also know they will get away with it, all the while claiming that they deal in facts and reality. It’s like they are daring us to try to stop them. Are there enough of us to do it?
Given the misery and sorrow endured by so many victims and their families, this guy comes off as incredibly insensitive.
I suppose one either “gets” Kass’ delivery or they don’t. I’m convinced his heart is in the right place, sarcasm can obscure that.
