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.
Sad thing is people believe articles like this
Round boy does not run anywhere.
If Pritzker does anything nationally it will be incredibly easy for his Democrat opponents to pick apart his failure as a Gov. If CA, IL, and NY were a country Pritzker may have a chance running for President-but that’s a fantasy. Bloomberg thought he could buy a presidency, and he’s a lot more capable than Pritzker. ANY Republican – like Trump or DeSantis, would clobber the crackpot Pritzker.
What bullshit from the uber biased Dave McKinney. Pritzker, this article says, “entered office with the state in near financial ruin because of Rauner’s two-year budget standoff with the Democratic-led legislature…” IL was a mess before Rauner came. Rauner handled the impasse horribly, but it had little long-term effect. And McKiney says Pritzker helped stabilize IL finances. He has done nothing on that. These are just Pritzker’s talking points –and they are lies.
You beat me to it, Mark! This guy is horrible. He either buys fatso’s talking points or is complicit in his lies. smh
Complicit is exactly the right word for him.
