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.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

There is absolutely no room in any successful business for the sort of “people” that these wokeist liberal inclusion efforts so foolishly seek to include.
This strategy worked so well for Disney and Bud Light. What could possibly go wrong?
Why there aren’t shareholder revolts at these criminally mismanaged companies I will never know.
Go back to making great equipment and stay away from the Disney model, it does not work.
Stupid move Deere. Deere used to be one of the premier companies in the US and as common as Cherrios, hot dogs and base ball. With this…come on. Why? You are late to the show, the time has passed for you to make this mistake…let this DEI crap die from lack of interest and move on. Also – your head quarters is in Moline IL. Not exactly Washington DC or NY or San Fran…while there are liberals there…not many. Stay away from this crap and build farm and construction equipment please..
The headquarters are still in Illinois, can’t cure stupid I guess.
Wokeness, DEI, and Affirmative Action destroy everything. Ahhh, the goal of democrats!
I bet if they put on a drag show for kids as young as three in Mexico they would have a riot on their hands.
Perhaps they also wouldn’t have the Mexican government twisting their arm to have such events “ or else!”. Joe and his crew ( Pritzger, Mayor Playa, Kwame ) get a lot of mileage out of “ or else!”.
My preferred pronoun is Comrade.
Get moose and squirrel!
