"'I think we don’t take this seriously as a city,' (Arne) Duncan told us. 'Our communities are literal war zones. We haven’t devoted the resources, we haven’t been honest enough. We haven’t declared a war on this, a war on the war. ... This has to be built into the DNA of what we do.'"
Duncan was CPS superintendent, so why didn’t he decry and fix social problems of POC youth then? Nope, Duncan is already campaigning for mayor, trumpeting the usual PC blandishments. Recent Census data indicates 52% black males 18-29 yrs are neither in school or working – that’s the problem here.

When will a democrat finally admit that violence follows job loss. Maybe making IL competitive again would go a long way to fixing jobless, hopeless eighborhoods. But then they’d have to get their lips off China’s backside and that ain’t happening.

Dear Tribune and Arne too! People don’t get all lathered up over this because they don’t care! Jesse, Al and all others of their ilk only come out if there are cameras or blackmail opportunities! Otherwise it’s just more endless ghetto drama! Cold? Yea it is! Lori? She’s too busy and needs her rest time. School shootings? Hmmmm…..call the cops; nobody suspected anything! Heard noise, felt pain.
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.
