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.
Remember when “industry” related to producing something meaningful? Now that IL is promoting online gambling, what’s next? How low will this state sink to generate revenue from its residents?
Wonderful. IL now known for abortion, pot shops, sports betting, casinos, and now online betting. Also, jailed, indicted, corrupt politicians. My father would never recognize the state. His philosophy always was, set aside a certain amount for savings and never spend more than you earn. Home every night for dinner and checking our homework. Not the IL motto.
