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.
Jackson Potter and the CTU pulling statistics out of thin air, and not realizing there is a lot of rural land in Illinois that is used to feed him and the rest of the world. Farms are necessary for survival, but don’t generate the same revenue corporations and big businesses in Cook County do.

The racist Marxists of the CTU want the whole pie, not just what they deserve.

It might be fun to see statistics on how much of department of prisons dollars go to house criminals from Chicago . State funded health care for Chicago etc, etc if that’s the game we want to play.
