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.

The people pushing the climate change narrative have extremely large carbon footprints. When I see them all pedaling their bicycle to the next climate conference I’ll start listening.
And the worst part os that what are those bikes made of? Not nothing, that’s for sure. Maybe try recycling, hippies! Get a life.
Climate does affect crime. Muggers, car jackers and people that generally run around assaulting others find the pickings slim in inclement weather. Break ins and home invasions fell sharply during the plandemic when everyone was stuck inside obeying one Draconian edict after another. Crooks don’t like working during rain or snow any more so than people with legitimate jobs.
The religion of Climate and the Climate Clerics will not be denied. Reality be damned.
“Some island country is underwater” they keep whining. Those people should have thought of that before they moved there. No sympathy from me.
No island country is under water (physically). Hello, Maldives, we’re looking at you.
The climate Religion is driving people insane, and that’s when the real-world atrocities start.
Exactly!
