Summary and audio linked here.
Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Biden and Democrats CONTINUE to politicize the pandemic!!! Why didn’t NBC ask Pritzker what the hell is going on!?
Pritzger needed 10 doses because he so darn obese
So, million dollar question what the hell is the IDPH doing with the doses that have not been administered yet, understanding is there due to expire.
“President-elect Joe Biden blasted President Donald Trump’s administration for their rollout of the vaccine, calling it a “travesty” that must be reversed quickly.”
—Really, Joe, what is Trump supposed to do? Inject the vaccine himself into patients? This is the most disingenuous criticism ever. Lori and JB have tens of thousands of doses. In their hands. It’s their own incompetence that is to blame. Blaming an outgoing president with 21 days left is absurd.
My money says JB and Lightweight screw this up trying to concentrate distribution in low income areas, where people don’t want the vaccine. The vaccines will expire before they are used. Get them into the assisted living facilities and then into general distribution. The guidance around who should get the vaccine has also been lacking.
