-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --

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.

The elderly, disabled, immune compromised and cancer and heart patients can’t get vaccines but the ghetto churches, Mexican community centers, lazy socialist CTU teachers, celebrity chefs friends of Lori like rick Bayless, incompetent politicians and city workers, and phony reverend community activists.
“The whole world can’t think that everybody has a computer and an email to do this stuff,”
Uh, yeah we can. It’s really not that difficult. Even the local McDonalds offers free wi-fi these days. How else would they expect it to be done? Just show up, wait in line and get vaccinated? Hahahhaahhaa you can’t expect that in Illinois, why, that’s ‘inequitable’!
I read an article a few days ago that in a Western state teachers were volunteering to help older less computer savvy citizens find vaccine appointments. I thought this was a great way to repair the horrendous damage their image has suffered. And as if on cue, CTU goons began shoving their way to the head of local vaccine lines.
Lori and dirty haired Arwady promised that the CTU commies would not get preference, then they did. That’s why there is a shortage of vaccines. Why are the people allowing them to be in office. Why does the fake media allow them to lie? The scum times and fibune don’t report but take dictation from Loris press office.
