Mayor Lori Lightfoot used her speech to tell the Biblical story of Lazarus, the dead man brought back to life by Jesus and his rock-solid faith, and likened his story to what has happened on Chicago’s West and South sides, which have suffered for decades from grinding poverty, disinvestment and violent crime. “We can breathe new life into the people and places that have been left for dead. These are not just words. We proved that over and over again these last four years.”
It is amazing how some of these fools can lie to themselves– and really believe their own BS. She seems to truly believe what she is saying. I don’t think any rational person can point to one material aspect of life in the City that improved while she was mayor. Not one. Yet she will stand there and brag.

Lori, the South and West sides are no better off and the North side has become worse.
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.
