Illinois Governor Pritzker Secures $1 Billion Quantum Tech Win Before Convention – Bloomberg

Illinois is trying to position itself as a center for new technologies from electric vehicles and batteries to quantum computing. The Democratic National Convention taking place in Chicago from Aug. 19-22 will allow Pritzker to showcase his political achievements, including bringing the convention to the third-largest US city.

Forced puchasing from government agencies is the only thing keeping this alive. Unfortunately these electric vehicles also don’t work for the people that need them either and these no infrastructure or money to build it. Parking lots full of dead cars like China.

Ah yes, left leaning Bloomberg tips their cap to Governor Blowhard. How’s that EV demand trending? Not too good me thinks, as the auto manufacturers have pivoted hard on that silliness. Toyota has pretty much walked away from it entirely, focusing instead on developing more efficient internal combustion engines. As for showcasing Chicago, well, that comes with a little risk. I’m doubtful there will be real trouble, but the combination of thousands of illegal immigrants and a horde of Palestinian protesters warrants watching. If we happen to have a hot streak all bets are off.
