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.
To me it sounds like a Diversity Inclusion and Equity disaster when DIE is put in front of qualified, experienced, and capable.
It’s certainly become a lot more woke in the last few years, including a rainbow banner hung in the high-rise atrium. Toward the end of my 30 year career from which I retired due to Brandon’s and DOE’s clot-shot mandate, I was having Woke activities added to my training requirements in addition to things that actually affect my work, like, oh, radiation safety and lock-out-tag-out.
Another big problem was/is the ever expanding creep of bureaucratic BS imposed by DOE such that people spend more time on busywork than on getting things done.
EVERYTHING the Brandon Regime does is political and is intended to further their goals of punishing their enemies and rewarding their allies. They never do anything for the benefit of America. It’s only for power and power alone.
I’d guess the real reason – not put in the article – for the negative coverage is that Brandon wants to give the contract to some BIPOC/gay/female allies, and take it away from whatever contractor has it now, likely awarded during the Trump or Obama administration.
