David Greising of BGA: Some want the economy flung open. Wake up. COVID-19’s no hoax. – Chicago Tribune

"A few extremists are in denial, claiming the disease is a hoax and such. Of more interest, and consequence, is the growing number of people who are willing to put their worries about jobs and the economy above their concerns about public health. This group is willing to gamble lives on the bet that they’ve got their priorities straight.
"The upshot is a barely civil war of ideas. It features disputes over constitutional powers and division between the Chicago metropolitan area and the rest of the state. Some call into question the pandemic data, others critique the judgment of leaders on all sides... In Pritzker, when it comes to COVID-19, we have an elected official who has learned the data, developed good judgment and set his plan. With his strong business background, he understands the economic trade-offs, too.

Wow. Pritzker has a “strong business background”?!? What absurd and patently false garbage. JB has never held a real job in his entire life. He has never had any position of management or has had to make hard business decisions. All that JB has ever done is spend his daddy’s money and purchase a Governorship from Mike Madigan. Period.

This article is Greising’s application for Reichsminister of Propaganda. He’s clearly qualified!

Clearly David Gresing of BGA has never run a business. Nor does understand the concept of risk and the ability of individual Americans to make good decisions on their own with mommy nanny state telling them what to do. The Constitution was founded on the basis of citizens acting on their own and making decision s on their own without the heavy hand of an elite leadership.

Seeking individual freedom is very far from extremism.

Disgusting and shameful.

I have to agree with Greising about extremists. Some nutcases think COVID has a 100% fatality rate and that the economy must be 100% shut down on the unchecked orders of a Dictator for Life until there is a 0% chance of dying from COVID or from any other cause.

A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
