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.
The Skunk-Beard Socialist will declare all out war on business because that’s what communists do.
To say he should rethink his message implies he thought about it in the first place. This guy is an agitator activist devoid of thought.
Brandon’s master are the socialists that run the CTU!!
Good for Tubman for speaking out publicly. Where are all the other so-called “corporate leaders” in Chicago? And where are all the business and civic groups? Crickets.

Too late and Brandon Johnson won’t do it. He hate’s capitalism and capitalists.
Pre-emptive strike. Johnson has a well-documented history of blaming corporate America for everything. Why stick around and be scolded into submission?
Terry Duffy should draw a line in the sand right now. Force the state to pass legislation barring financial transaction taxes or the exchanges will move out of state. Force the state to commit as businesses value stability and the threat of such a tax now creates too much uncertainty.
