-- 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.

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.

Why doesn’t City Hall mandate “personal hygiene” standards instead? Covid is easily spread by poor hygiene practices, from contaminated hand to nose.
DELTA… DELTA …DELTA…!!!
It’s dangerous people…! Very dangerous…!
So dangerous we need to institute a mask mandate *immediately*…!!!
Just kidding, not *immediately*, but in 3 days…
But it’s still very dangerous, believe us…!
How does that make any sense…???
Yea, I like that! It’s a territorial imperative of extreme urgency. We can hear the new threat revving up. Lori is hoping someone in the Middle East lights off a nuke to keep her out of the world headlines.
Quit visiting Chicago from suburbs! Easy choice No reason to go to Chicago
No. It’s time for our citizens to say no to these edicts. No to the stupidity that is evidenced on a daily basis by the mutton-chops in city and state governement.
Obama, at his little fest, didn’t see a need for his guests to wear masks – NO, we shall not comply.
SHEEP, time to wake up and demand/fight to re-establish our liberties. This is not the bubonic plague – not the Spanish flu… Pull your head out of the sand and choose freedom.
Pathetic.
What a crock of $HIT!!!!
People stop complying and take back your life and freedoms. This is all BS. We should be done with all of this (like 12 plus months ago).
Delta shmelta.
I will not be wearing a mask. Businesses will not toss you out of their store. If they wont take your money at checkout then leave the money on the counter and walk out with the goods. The Indian variant is less lethal than the common flu. This is a farce.
the delta propaganda lie isn’t working. i won’t go near shitcago it is yours for the taking blackrock as you planned. come near me with a needle and you’ll get a bullet in exchange!
Covid is the least of your problems in Chicago. The carjackers and gangbangers are far more dangerous and widespread.
Hahaah I don’t go to Chicago and I don’t wear masks anymore either!!!
I don’t think the compliance will be high. Will see what happens. I’m done supporting any businesses who try to enforce it.
