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.
So not even 2%. They locked down as hard or harder than almost every other state, played along with with fake pandemic script better than anyone, destroyed our small businesses, drove big businesses and people away and all we got was .0175%?
That’s why the theory that JB locked down the state for federal funding is beyond ridiculous. I wasn’t happy with the lockdowns and believe those alone should have pushed the voters to toss JB out of office. However, his decisions were not motivated by federal money.
COVID was a religion to the left. No amount of evidence was going to deter them.
