-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Summary and audio linked here.
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. Audio here.
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.

Businesses: ask for my vaccination card and I’ll take my business elsewhere.
Put as plainly as I can, it’s none of your business.
Vaccine status does not impact contracting, spreading, recovering from, or dying of COVID. We hear that everyday on the main stream media, yet the push, push, push to put an unproven and possibly harmful concoction into our and our children’s bodies.
What are they thinking? Or are they thinking at all?
This whole situation defies logic. Any critical thinkers out there making recommendations or rules? Or only those who have drank the Fauci/Egosi/Arwady media-fueled Kool-Aid?
“Businesses: ask for my vaccination card and I’ll take my business elsewhere.” That’s exactly what they want. They want you to go somewhere else. You’re still living in the era where Jordan said “both republicans and democrats buy sneakers”. That mentality disappeared about a decade ago. Today many businesses are not interested in maximum profit: most want only to pander to their most loyal customers because their customers demand it. Customers are now stakeholders and they have a say in how the owner runs the business. And if the customers in some sheetlib suburb want to exclude the purebloods from… Read more »
Businesses aren’t going to kill their livelihood by monitoring their customer’s vaccination status. They’re tired of the lies and misinformation. It’s all over folks. Some people will get sick and die, just like every other year since man walked out of the cave. Time to move on.
Many businesses will because they are in areas where virtue signaling their vaccination status is paramount and 99%+ of their patrons are vaccinated. Other areas with low vaccination rates won’t even acknowledge the rule exists.
Fuc- Cook County- Group of dopes!!!
Everything possible is being done to push for a Covid crisis for the holidays. What’s next? Mass graves, bonfires? It’s the cold and flu season! Boosters for vaccines that don’t work! Huh? How’s that work? Get a good fabricated crisis going then spank everyone, merry Christmas!
“…Suburban Cook County Officials Urge.” But no Cook County official, nor official of any suburb is named in the article. Also, the article fails to note that the Omicron variant, tho more contagious, has much milder symptoms than the others and infects fully vaxxed folks.
“In Illinois, about 7.6 million people — or 59.78 percent of the state’s 12.7 million people — are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to state data.” This is Russian disinformation. First of all, the definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ is changing by the day. Secondly, there is no such thing as “fully vaccinated against COVID-19”. There are some covid shots out there, that do provide some level of protection, for some short period of time, for people in high risk cohorts. But it’s not ‘fully vaccinated’ by any prior definition of the term. • Across the state, 66,816 vaccine doses are… Read more »
