A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Terrible policies lead to terrible outcomes. Illinois is anti business, and the Happy Warrior has to pay bigly for any significant business to select Illinois for expansion. Not to mention, he has an affinity for “green” startups that don’t last long, much less grow. He now faces a new President that he chooses to antagonize, which will do him no favors. It isn’t going to be pretty going forward.
Happy Warrior, like any Dem worth his salt, doesn’t pay for anything and instead sticks those that can’t slide out the side door, in his case the taxpayers, with the bill.
