With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

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.
Equity will only be achieved in Chiraq when everyone in the city is equally miserable and broke. That’s the true equity of this poorly thought out plan.
We in chaaj na! Makes you think!
Inequity rooted in the past is, practically speaking, impossible to fix. That’s one of the reasons behind the concept of statutes of limitations. Imagine correcting the injustices done to Native Americans through “contract rights” granted in treaties. Some places in Europe are trying to re-align land titles or compensate for property seizures by Nazis or Communists. The British Museum is returning pilfered treasures and stolen Van Goghs sometimes find their ways to the descendants of former owners. But large-scale adjustment of historical predation simply cannot be done with any sort of “justice.” Rather, it is a form of bribery cum… Read more »
Hatred and division by design. It’s what communists do.
You would be hard pressed to find a bigger pile of BS than this so called plan. Dozens of objectives with no specific policies to achieve them. Someone actually got paid to assemble this garbage. Let me boil it down for you. The “gimme free stuff” crowd would like to inform you that they will never be satisfied, but they have no idea how to take the rest of your money, just yet.

Exactly correct. A word salad of baseless-n-biased assumptions used as reasons to continue to make bad things worse by spending additional money and time doing more of the same expensive-n-silly stuff that’s already not working.
There is some deeply disturbing revisionist history and anti-white hatred hidden in the word salad. Only a reader with familiarity with intersectionalist marxist philosophy would be able to parse the true meaning couched in academic CRT jargon. This report is as racist and conspiratorial as it gets. The world ‘white’ appears by my count 66 times, nearly all in the context of how white people created or benefit from oppression. Just imagine if you replaced the word ‘white’ with the J word instead, the nonsense is this report is right up there with the Protocols of the Elders of Z… Read more »
Right on, Debtsor. Chicago’s plan is a document of hatred, division and racism.
They are clearly operating directly from the Nazi playbook. Not Marxists, but National Socialists.
It’s over for Illinois
