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.

This is the Great Replacement Theory live and in action. Noticed the article fails to mention tens of thousands of military age Chinese males and the ones spotted earlier in the week crossing the border with rifles.https://twitter.com/ChuckCallesto/status/1738367491829649644
Chicago? You mean the “city that works” cant handle a measly ten thousand illegals, while Texas and Arizona basically have been handling 245 million for three years? And thats not counting the “got aways”. Wow, these northern wokesters like to talk the talk don’t they.

In the meantime this is what California is doing. There is no end to this madness.
