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.
Maybe Pritzker should read “The Art of the Deal”.
It’s odd Stellantis said they would idle the plant for at least 6 months rather than just closing it permanently. That means the plant will be closed next year during UAW and Stellantis negotiations for a new contract. It’s been opined that Stellantis could used this to extract concessions from the UAW which could be more valuable than the cost of keeping the plant open.
Yes, something funny may be going on here. Odd that Stellantis would pop this on Prtizker that way. Maybe trying to shake him down for more goodies.
Taxpayers ripped off by government again. Such a surprise.
Illinois is such a business-friendly state, why would anyone want to have a business anywhere else?
