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.
I really resent that the media has been reporting potential civil disobedience as a ‘threat’. This isn’t about sitting at the back of the bus or separate water fountains – it’s about greedy teachers who want to make over $100,000 a year, plus benefits, and have an easier job with smaller class sizes and more support staff to make a stronger union, so that in four years they can return the the bargaining table more power than ever. The threat of civil disobedience is insulting, these people are out of their minds.
