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.
Man, it’s getting harder and harder for the Dems to take their cut from the government trough. But no worries, they been shaking people down for over a 100 years, so there’s always another dollar to steal.
Why, with Ed Burke no longer able to steal, the other corrupt-o-crats can step in and take Ed’s cut.
Think how dumb JB Pritzker is. He went into politics AFTER becoming rich, totally missing the point of going into Illinois politics. I can just see the Springfield crowd shaking their heads.
Lots of pension money goes to Sunny Florida. Florida says “Thank you” for all the economic activity it brings to the state.
Pensions, pensions, pensions is the root of all evil. This hangover will last generations to come.

Snuck one past us. Sorry. He’s out.
