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.

The ‘heights’ of the town where i live in Suburban Chicago is called so because it’s where the glacier stopped expanding one year and made the landscape a tad bit taller, because it pushed up rocks and dirt, than everywhere else in the surrounding areas.

Yeah but wait till we crank up emissions after we buy Greenland. Gonna have lush Trump golf courses, beach resorts, water parks everywhere.
There is zero evidence of a climate change calamity. They can point to zero actual events. The lamestream media is used as an echo chamber to spread a coordinated climate alarm hoax. Shame on all involved. Thank you.
They never saw pension failure coming, why should they see the weather in 10 years?
