Everybody needs a side hustle these days, and mine is Ukraine, where I am now.
-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Audio and summary 
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
Fire all the do-nothing diversity drones and state schools will have plenty of cash
That’s just a drop in the bucket. You’ll need to fire all the faculty and staff in the humanities and liberal arts, half the science faculty, and nearly every administrator from the deans all the way down to the secretary. Nearly all of them are hard core Democrats. Then bulldoze the university and salt the earth. That’s how you fix the education system.
As JackBelly and I discussed in an earlier thread, Illinois universities are collapsing. And it’s not just because of money. It’s a Doom Loop.
I have a suggestion for Illinois universities to lower their costs and our tuition bills. Cut all the useless DEI (“diversity”) administrators you have added in recent years. You can also eliminate all the affirmative action positions you have in place, which has been found to be an illegal scheme which runs against our constitution. That should help.
It’s the ghost of Christmas Future. High taxes and the public gets nothing to show for it…
