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.

Many people were unaware that the genetic mutilation complex was even doing business at Lurie. Nice to know something that is supposed to be so beneficial to gender confused children was being kept a secret.
My understanding – and I cannot vouch for this – is that Lurie behind the scenes actually stopped ‘gender affirming surgeries’ a while back because the newest medical evidence doesn’t support the surgeries, and, because sex changes surgeries are just too controversial for a hospital that relies heavily on donations from rich people who don’t want their donations used for Dr. Mengele’s ideological descendants. This recent pause is an excuse to blame Trump for stopping the surgeries instead of saying the truth, that these surgeries are highly controversial and donors are not comfortable with them.
It is about time.
