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.

Gotta keep the plandemic going has our dear Freddie and his cronies.
My retail store where I work dropped its mask mandate for unvaccinated staff yesterday. I wonder why, maybe it is unlawful and discrimination at its worst?
Watch the schools and colleges next. You cannot mandate a EUA experimental vaccine, then discriminate against those that do not take the shot.
USSC final stop.
All I hear is talk of racial disparity in health care but the permanent victim class is totally and completely under vaccinated. The blacks and Latinos refused to socially distance all through the covid lockdowns continuing to have house parties, riots, looting , protests, smoking and drinking in every park and now they refuse to be vaccinated putting us all at risk. It’s totally shameful.
But systemic racism or something they don’t trust the vaccine but for different reasons than Trump supporters, it isn’t there fault, just need more outreach, not everyone is aware of coronavirus or something in underserved neighborhoods. There is always some excuse.
