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.

These Qatari operations sound like the much larger Chinese Confucius Institutes that operated as PRC press offices/ secret police on campuses (until the US largely shut them a few years ago). Note that the CCP just sends all the more adult agents / students to our universities now. Universities will do anything for more money to build dorms with walk-in closets to attract paying students from the dwindling next generation.
The lefties are pro Muslim and anti semitic. The lefties invaded and now control universities. If any other racial/ or religious group was targeted, the left would be up in arms. But the lefties are supporting Muslim hate.
Just shows what MONEY will buy.
George Bernard Shaw allegedly attended a dinner party where he asked a woman if she would sleep with him for a very large sum of money. She said yes. He then asked if she would do it for a much smaller sum. She replied angrily, “What do you take me for?” To which Shaw supposedly responded, “Madam, we’ve already established what you are. Now we are just haggling about the price.”
For the right price I will even say something nice about them and PPF. I can be bought. It is being sold out by the public sector that I do not like.
Lefties love their speech codes!
The great part about this revelation is that you can be 100% percent assured that no one at Northwestern pushed back on this Qatari policy one bit. These whores would do anything for money.
If I had a kid who wanted to go the Northwestern, I would instead send him to HVAC school where he could actually learn a valuable skill. The only thing you learn at Northwestern is how to live in a bubble of make believe.
