"And Pritzker is not exactly Barack Obama, charisma-wise, either. But he knows where to find the right chords on the old pipe organ." Chicago Teachers Union contract demands are totally divorced from reality – Wirepoints

Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

Gov. JB Pritzker calls it “ethics” reform.
It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
Esquire is amplifying the “problem is in the messaging” theme. Or Hopium 2.0. Either way, progressives keep showing they have no grasp of reality.
Are people supposed to pay for content like this? what is the point? Who is even the target market for fluff pieces that bootlick billionaires?
Remember when Esquire was a magazine for men.

There are two comments:
“Thanks for recognizing our governor. He may not be Barack Obama, but he has governed quite well. I will be proud to vote for him again. And Illinois was pretty well in the dumps after Blago and Rauner finished with us. Plus, he knows where Goreville is! One of the prettiest places on earth!”
“i live in ill he is the best gov we have ever had do not take him away from us”
That remind me why I moved out of Silly-nois.
Spot on comment. I ended my Esquire subscription three or four years ago. They changed editors and the new editor was a timid, castrated, self loathing, apologist for being born male. It used to be a great magazine . For men. Now its a waste of paper pulp catering to the castrati of the millennial generation. Just like that generation: Good riddance. The world will little notice your existence and will be a better place when you are gone.
