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 Democrat’s Brownshirts. They can’t win an election without cheating. When they lose an election they riot. The Pravda media backs them and spews lies and propaganda.
All protests are bought and paid for by the left. None of this is organic.

Act Blue. There is a lot more. I’m just too lazy to hunt the links. https://m.economictimes.com/magazines/panache/elon-musk-names-philanthropist-george-soros-linkedins-reid-hoffman-among-culprits-behind-tesla-protests-is-there-a-plot-to-take-down-his-empire/articleshow/118806679.cms

Chicago has six protests this month? I had no idea, and I don’t care, because I never go there anymore LOL
There’s no refuge. We need to get these clowns out of office. I bought a smoothie today, West Loop, and the barista could barely speak English; the menu was a challenge for her and it was ready simple. The a-hole literally mixed my drink in front of me and added half tap water to it while I watched! It didn’t even register until she handed it to me.
