-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Summary and audio linked here.
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.

Hell gets another piece of trash to burn.
This filthy piece of s**t cop-killer — and her cop killer husband — should have been sent to the electric chair 40 years ago. And at the same time they could have also fried their terrorist pals, Chicago’s very own William (“Billy The Bomber”) Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn too.
If you wonder how things got so bad in the large cities like Chicago and San Francisco, read the story. The fact that Foxx would be so bold as to offer sympathy to the family of a radical cop killer tells you this madness won’t stop until voters remove Soros supported candidates.
Yet, she is wildly popular in Chicago and suburbs, winning between 80 and 99% of the vote in lower class neighborhoods and 50-70% in rich wealthy neighborhoods. In general,, she lost the middle class neighborhoods in Cook County. Quite simply, there’s no way to vote her out, there aren’t enough normal middle class voters in Chicago to overcome her popularity.
It will require a WELL-FUNDED and TOUGH CAMPAIGN to get rid of ShitBird Foxx — previous campaigns had no money/pulled too many punches.
Maybe she can be replaced in the primaries. By another progressive. She won her primary vs. 2 more moderate Democrats. Maybe somebody further to the left than her.
“The dictatorship of the proletariat is the intermediate stage between a capitalist economy and a communist economy.” It’s happening in many places at once and I’m hard pressed to say there is a single source. One could try to blame it on funding from Soros and/or some conspiracy between Hollywood and Silicon Valley. The mainstream media was intent on undercutting Trump, but few proles subscribe to the NY Times. Likely someone injected a virus into the caviar, oysters and barbecue sauce.
Hahahah I only wish it was some virus we could cure. I believe that the best and simplest explanation for our path to communism comes because of racism, often systemic racism, against white men. Take every policy position the left has and note how white men are at fault for everything. The Tutsis blamed the hutus, the catholics blamed the protestants, and during WWII Germany blamed you know who. It is true that white men held much of the institutional power for most of this country’s history. But now, instead of competing in a merit based or capitalism system for… Read more »
The “future spoils” are simply being reallocated to a different select group. Somewhat less directly, perhaps. Consider the BLM Bigfoot houses in lalaland. Anticipate the flow of wealth taxes via Building Better schemes. Biden starts with B. What more can I say?
