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.

“Having small genitals is not a sufficient reason to own a gun,”
Sean Casten
You must have missed the study from several weeks ago. An anti-gun group commissioned a study to determine, if in fact, small genitals lead to increased gun ownership. The study found the exact opposite results. The men with the smallest genitals actually owned the fewest guns, if any at all, while there was a correlation between larger genitals and owning more guns. This is something we pretty much all knew but it takes a scientific study to figure it out! https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/15579883241255830 “…Our analyses show that men who are less dissatisfied with the size of their penises are more likely to… Read more »
Who checked the size of their privates for this study? So those men that buy the “Painless” gun from Predator have next to nothing down under! Now people will start to laugh when they see a man walk out of a gun shop with a long barrel rifle and know he has a short barrel beneath his belt. Must give this study a small lol.
If you read the study, the metric is a man’s satisfaction with his penis size. Which likely has a pretty good correlation with size. Because no short man is satisfied with his size and the big ones are.
this is absolutely hilarious, thank you LOL
Sean Casten is a worthless progressive liberal. If you want to know what a threat to democracy looks like, take a hard look at Sean’s smug arrogant puss. A person who sees nothing wrong with installing an incapacitated man as president and looks the other way for three and a half years while millions suffer the consequences is a poor excuse for a human being. That’s Sean Casten.
You’ve summed up the Democratic Party.
Casten sacrificed his own daughter to the cult of the clot shot. His own daughter died at 17! of a “sudden cardiac arrhythmia” which is virtually unheard of, unless of course, you took a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, then you are at an exponentially higher risk of cardiac arrhythmia than the general population. Look up the studies, they’re not hard to find (but slightly difficult to read without a background in reading medical studies). Of course, every study say ‘pro forma’ that cardiac arrhythmia is ‘rare’ and doesn’t outweigh the risks of multiple clot shots. It’s sad, I’m not trying to… Read more »
When the clot shot didn’t work they opened the border and never made the illegals get a vaccine while mandating Americans get the shot…………they want to keep power no matter what………very important to vote RED up and down the ticket. Nothing will improve with the BLUE in power.
