On Chicago's gun violence, the president compared the nation's third largest city to Afghanistan. "Where many people would be shot over a weekend, and many killed in many cases, and it was terrible," he said. "It's gotten worse. It's not even believable. That's not living in a safe place. That's not even getting close to living in a safe place. .. It's like we're in a third word country."
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.
