Comment: At Wirepoints, we did the calculation ourselves and confirmed that Gotion is eligible for about $7.5 in federal tax subsidies, in addition to the $536 million from the State of Illinois. Gotion has clear ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Chicago Teachers Union contract demands are totally divorced from reality – Wirepoints

Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

Gov. JB Pritzker calls it “ethics” reform.
It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
They probably are, legally. But as a tax payer in the once great state of Illinois , I find it morally objectable.
Many products found in Walmart come from China. Chinese products are everywhere. Many American agriculture products are sold to China. Trading with each other benefits us all. Your Apple phone was assembled in China. Lots and lots of things come and go from China. I like Chinese food.
LOL the chinese elites don’t even eat chinese food. They import their food from Japan and Australia.
International trade can be a fine thing, if health and safety get adequate attention. But using public money to subsidize a company, whether foreign or domestic, is never necessary. (We could, of course, have a long discussion about what is a “subsidy,” but in this case there’s no question.)
We shouldn’t be trading with communist countries, period.
The Commies are laughing hysterically at this deal What a bunch of buffoons in Illinois. The math on the subsidies is so obvious. The fact that these are the bad guys ripping us off is so obvious. Illinois is a clown show on the international stage.
