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 gravy train rolls on. Illinois political animals gotta keep buying votes since their policies directly hurt all Illinoisans. No need to buy off suburban AWFLs, their TDS will keep them in line. The confiscated taxpayer funds all go to the friends and pals of Illinois political animals.
This is vote buying by a state that is flat broke and Illinois political animals aren’t even trying to do it in the shadows any more. The Useless Chicago Media dutifully ignores it for the DNC distraction du jour.
