-- 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. Audio here.
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.

So, the “educators” don’t understand the data that suggests the VAST majority of masks didn’t do a thing? They don’t understand acquired or natural immunity? They don’t understand the immeasurably negative impact this has had on their STUDENTS?
How on earth do they think they are worthy of any respect?
Doesn’t an unfair labor practice complaint imply that some labor is actually being done ?
The red shirt comrades haven’t worked in two years.
Always remember the MARXIST Battle CRY IT`S FOR THE CHILDREN
Hey CTU, You over played your hand. No respect for chicago teachers
Some nutty reading.

“Our union will immediately be filing an unfair labor practice (ULP) charge against the district in response, and requesting that CPS bargain over this decision — a decision that impacts nearly 400,000 students, educators and school staffers in Chicago.”
But CTU, it impacts 400,000 students in a positive way! Wow CTU seems to think they “represent” everyone in the system including the students. The students are free boys and girls not under CTU.
They say that children under 5 are particularly vulnerable, I though they had minimal risk. It seems to me the grand plan is to extend covid restrictions as long as possible with the ultimate goal of 100% remote learning. I say let them go 100% remote, at that point it shouldn’t be too hard to replace them.
The “danger” will magically diminish when CTU says so….. after all they represent THE science
Which science are they following? Medical science or Political science? Most of us know the answer to that.
