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.
Pritzker and the Democratic Party of Illinois has a problem. For businesses to come to Illinois it need reasonable taxes, and educated workforce, a safe environment and a good standard of living.
But to stay in power, the Democratic Party needs an uneducated voting bloc, a corrupt power base and lots of money to give to unions so they keep them in power.
We all know the decision they made.
Hmm.. high taxes on businesses, mandatory hires of the less qualified, rampant crime for employees, high cost of living through myriad taxes on said employees.. nope, I just can’t imagine why businesses aren’t flocking to IL. Beats me.
Why isn’t it, Democrats and unions greedy group of politicians and individuals.
The Public Sector has put a huge weight on the back of all businesses and workers that makes it impossible to compete in the open market.
Notable that the Tribune editorial and commentary side is far more balanced than its news side, and the editorials are vastly improved in recent months. A bit of evidence is the Wirepoints cite herein. The news side essentially boycotts us, no matter how newsworthy much of our research is.
