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.
This article conveniently ignores the safety issues that started when open rioting was all over downtown and police were targeted with violence. The City did nothing! The big 5 of Pritzker, Preckwinkle, Foxx, Lightfoot and Evans declared war on law-abiding citizens. People watched in fear as violent takeover looting was common place, and the Mag Mile became the Mug Mile. Covid gave everyone a chance to avoid downtown, and guess what, nobody missed it! The Loop is never coming back, killed forever by the extreme leftists. Good riddance.
Chicago is about two steps from becoming the new Detroit and no amount of cheerleading and coercion can change that. Only with new, non- Marxist/ progressive/ socialist leadership does it stand a chance.
