Cook County releases plan to improve digital access in marginalized communities – Chicago Sun-Times

A map compiled by Cook County shows areas on the south and west sides of Chicago have lower rates of internet access, while in northern and western suburbs, rates are higher. “I often say we have one map in Cook County because when you pull up a map comparing almost any outcome, whether it’s educational attainment, economic status, life expectancy, you invariably see the same picture,” Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said. “Your ZIP code should not determine how well you fare.”

““Your ZIP code should not determine how well you fare.””

This is socialism. Making everyone the same. It morphs into communism after she promises to ‘punish’ the rich people for hoarding more than their fair share.

The “powers that be” in Cook County and Chicago have been and continue to be POCs: mayor, county president, state’s attorney, chief judge, most of the city council, school superintendent, police superintendent, etc.

What have THEY done for POC communities?

Instead resources are going for the southern border invaders, instead of homeless citizens, many of whom served our country.

Chicago needs a major realignment.

America first!
