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.
The Bears stadium ‘Hunger Games’ are alive and well. Chicago keeps talking about the need to fund Johnson’s and the CTU’s programs, while wanting to talk TIF’s with the Bears and White Sox now. I will not hold my breathe on anything. Could be another 10 years is my guess.
It’s getting to the point where a lot of working people don’t really care whether these overpaid crybabies play their overpriced game or not. Frankly, I’m tired of professional sports athletes spouting off about injustice while getting paid millions to play kids games, get in fights at strip bars, the occasional drug bust/ felonious assault / fatal car crash and promoting a “ me, me, me “ attitude.
In the currently depressed state of mediocre or worse Chicago pro sports teams, I find it easier not to watch most games either on TV or in person. I save time and money, and will live a longer and better life if I don’t get killed or mugged.
