Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Sun-Times tells black Americans to move to the back of the bus for illegal foreigners who want to sit up front. Rosa Parks who?
Rosa Parks herself was a bit of a psyops/agitprop moment. I was taught in school that this nice lady just wanted to sit at the front of the bus one day and BAM! segregation ended. But the reality is that she herself was an activist and her activist group had planned this civil disobedience for quite some time, it was totally preplanned, with funding and support ready to go, with groups organizing marches the next day, etc.
You are correct. More propaganda.
Looks like the people didn’t vote for this after all and the politicians are getting the criticism that they deserve.
What happened to all the over confident out of state Wirepoints folks with outlandish claims?
Criticism doesn’t matter. Votes do. If the politicians pay for this at the ballot box then you can be smug. And I’ll join you in rejoicing.
Keep yah hands off a my stack….
Wow. The white liberals and the woke preaching to the Black community while the black community sees themselves being replaced by the Democrat party with a different favored minority. Democrats care more about foreigners than about their fellow Americans. Disgusting.
They are replacing blacks because they are too quick to shoot each other. The migrants aren’t nearly as violent. The Democrat power structures really don’t care who lives in the neighborhood, because the the votes still remain the same. The great replacement is the replacement of blacks, not whites, that’s the irony of all of this.
