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.

Not worth my freedom, my health, and quite possibly my life. Never will be.
Are we supposed to forget that they are boot licking facists? F*ck’m. Never stepping foot in there again. It’s a war people, never forget who is doing this and who helped them by perpetuating it.

Thanks for saving my time Marko
War indeed, ever since the chosen one was installed in November 2020 by fraud (and we all know it happened).
Larger and more important things darn right, like fighting back on all fronts against our corrupted state and country. Gloves are off for me. Challenge and fight anything Government.
We have a tough battle ahead of us.
