Unlike the silly claims Pritzker likes to make regularly, that are completely unsupported by any reputable data, the unemployment numbers are reliable, consistently computed and widely accepted. I thought JB liked to follow the science. I guess that’s only true if he agrees with the science. What a buffoon.

Ignore that man behind the curtain. Believe what I tell you. The sad fact is that the vast majority of you will.
