-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Following an Enterprise Risk Assessment and evaluations conducted by local fire departments and workplace protection in each hub and corporate headquarters, fire risks were identified in the parking garages that cannot be mitigated at this time.”

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.

This is hopefully the near future. Hydrogen Fuel Cells which can easily by changed just like a propane tank. I would not bet against Toyota. Not one word about HFC’s in Illinois just EV’s and batteries.

Impressive – Toyota seems to be quite a forward-thinking company! If hydrogen-fueled cars gain momentum, watch the EV fanatics try intensely to put the kibosh on it. After all, there are already many billions of dollars invested in EVs. Electric utility companies wouldn’t like this change of momentum from EVs, either.
Toyota’s latest hybrids, too, are extraordinary cars and reasonably priced. Same for Honda. I honestly wonder how anybody will compete with them in that segment.

Weather Channel warning about salt water (an electrolyte and conductor) and EV’s don’t mix. EV’s aren’t just an impractical novelty for the well-to-do, but are freaking dangerous!!! Looking for insurance companies to dramatically increase rates on EV’s, or not insure them at all. The idiocy of Leftists Democrats is beyond the pale.
State Farm thinks electric vehicle chargers are a fire risk. Can anyone see what’s coming next? We see that you have an electric vehicle, you need a rider for that or we won’t cover any loss caused by the charger.
Poor Pete Buttigieg and Pritzker will cry like babies over this. Those swell electric cars are part of their master plan.
If any entity is ever experiencing revenue problems, all they need to do is follow the insurance company’s lead in such situations. If they can’t squeeze Lincoln off of a penny, no one can.
Curious? What kind of EV does the governors caravan use? Rivian-Fisker-Chevy Bolt-Scooter. I was taught to lead by example.
