Audio and summary 
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
And there are a “whole bunch of people on the South and West sides of Chicago” that voted for Kim Foxx and Brandon Johnson that instituted policies that have had a lot to do with Chicago crime today. Elections have consequences and the question is whether or not this “whole bunch of people” have learned anything from it all?
Apparently, the people of the South and west sides are too stupid to make the connection between how they have voted for decades and the fact that their lives and neighborhoods have gotten worse in that time. Must have all been “educated” by CPS.
They live with the crime they vote for; I live with the taxes THEY vote for.
Until little Kimmy understands that there are too few criminals of color in jail (not too many) crime will continue.
Higher crime is the price you must pay so the lives of criminals are not disrupted by incarceration.
What I would love to see is less crime resulting in less incarceration.
