-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
Illinois paid the price for embracing Fauci’s “science.” Here’s the retrospective.
I would agree, however, one would’ve expected voters to vote in their own self interest and not elect Johnson…. Sadly many of the execs who reside in Chicago seem more interested in virtue signaling than the do in the safety of themselves, their families, and their employees…. Rational is not the election of “3 year holiday from payments” BJ….
McGinnis needs to get out of Chicago more often – his analysis is pure pablum. Chicago is a Leftist progressive sinkhole, with zero national implications – that’s it.
Every pundit and anon has an opinion, but nearly all of them over-complicate things. The reason Johnson won is quite simple: Soft on Crime policies are wildly popular in high crime communities. Ward maps show that high crime (and very progressive) communities voted overwhelmingly and decisively for Johnson and lower crime communities voted overwhelmingly and decisively for Vallas. Who would have thunk that promising Get out of Jail Free Cards to high crime areas would be so successful!
