Politicians who glibly cite the true wishes of “the American people” as the motive for their actions are also simultaneously congratulating themselves for their insight. I think of four Illinois politicians nearest, though far from dearest, to me: Tammy Duckworth, Dick Durbin, Jan Schakowsky and J.B. Pritzker. A smarmy plea for unity rings especially false at a time when the country is so deeply divided.
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.
This guy knows what he’s talking about.
