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 president, mayor, and governor need to unite to save lives in Chicago.” Yes, that’s a great recommendation, given how well those three have worked together so far. The world also needs to live in peace.
Regular Chicago citizens, aldermen, and now the head of a violence prevention group are all in favor of the National Guard coming in. Two people aren’t. And the funny thing is now Johnson is all for the continued harming of black and brown people, despite his numerous claims otherwise.
Unfortunately, Trump wants results. Johnson and Pritzger want money to enact more social services programs that don’t work and have a healthy amount of grift. The twain will never meet.
