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.
My concern is with how hostile Pritzker and Biden are towards small businesses.
Just wait, we still haven’t seen the full effects of the minimum wage increases. I’ve noticed a lot of restaurants have increased their prices, some as much as 33%. Could be from covid but what will prices be like once that minimum wage hits $15. How many businesses will be able to pass on these price hikes, while there’s no shortage of dumb woke people are there enough to support these high prices.
High prices don’t matter when someone else is paying.
Thanks Captain Obvious!
Right is this a surprise?
