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.
At your own risk.
FRAUD ALERT: Chicago Says Record Number Of Tourists Visited The City Last Year — REALLY? — Were They Counting Illegals As Tourists
Yup, stats apparently include new migrants bused to Chicago from Texas, because there’s certainly less foot-traffic at Chicago O’Hare International Terminal.
By the way, International Terminal is an embarrassment. Dirty, haphazard, duct-tape everywhere, certainly not “best foot forward” welcome for international visitors.
80% of 2019? Nonsense, I don’t believe this for a second. Who are the 50,000,000 tourists that allegedly visited Chicago? Are the visiting Schaumburg or Orland Park? Am I called a tourist when I leave Cook County to go to DuPage County to visit Oak Brook Mall?
Getting to 80% of pre-Covid number is no success, IMO.
