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

Audio and summary 
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.
No “puzzle”. People have commuting options, including no commute “work-from-home”. Many people are resisting their employers’ instructions to return to downtown offices. Dirty trains, dirty stations, coupled with little policing of anti-social behavior routinely encountered by riders, and genuine risk of becoming crime-victim, whether petty theft, harrassment, and/or injury by battery – why would white-collar folks return to using CTA trains for their commuting needs?
Aside from an abundance of criminals on the nighttime CTA, the daytime CTA is also populated with an abundance of homeless and psychotic people. Those people routinely rant and defecate on the trains. My every day experience was not drama free.

Sure we could arrest the violent psychotics wandering the subways randomly assaulting people. But what if, instead if doing that, we radically transformed and restructured every aspect of society? Doesnt that sound just a bit easier?

“But the vast majority of customers who ride CTA every day experience a ride that is relatively drama free.”
But for those few who are mugged, raped, maimed or killed on the CTA every day, well, life has risks, doesn’t it?
