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.

Zero standards results in zero discipline.
Zero discipline results in substandard students.
Substandard students result in unemployable adults.
Unemployable adults are the life’s blood of the American Communist Party (formerly the DNC).
State needs to leave private schools alone! Don’t like their standards, go to public schools! So what’s the problem with that? Oh you want a good education? Then cut your hair, God won’t hold it against you!
But I suggest all Jews read and see if Jesus is the Christ and fulfilled the OT scriptures that described His virgin birth, His means of death (crucified) and what Jesus told his disciples what would happen before it did. It’s obvious that nobody believed or even understood such things as He told his disciples. But afterwards they remembered them.
jesus’s teachings and life emphasize unconditional love, compassion, and welcoming “strangers” (immigrants/refugees) as if welcoming jesus himself. biblical scripture often commands that foreigners be treated as citizens, protected from oppression, and loved as neighbors- viewing them as individuals deserving dignity rather than security threats.
Wirepoints fans in general clearly are not of that persuasion as you must be a newbie here to think otherwise.
