-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
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.

When people like this write about herd immunity and ignore the numbers on natural immunity, is that deliberate or are they just uninformed?
If the jab works and is safe, you don’t need sticks.

Now compare this data with Japan, who accurately reports its COVID data. For example, people that die FROM COVID, and not WITH COVID as the US reported.
COVID deaths in Japan as of today = 15,068.
Number of COVID cases = 866k
Number recovered = 811k
No vaccinated = 29m (23.3% of pop).
491k adverse reports in the US. 11.4k deaths from the vaccine (those reported!).
If reported truthfully, US vaccine numbers would blow past the actual COVID numbers.
Crime of the Century.
“Chicago’s business leaders must declare they’re on the side of science. . .”
except the science of chromosomes. That stuff is BS.
My wife and I wont get the vaccine, period. We have no problem never seeing Europe, they hate us anyway. Just give us a road and an RV.
“Chicago’s business leaders must declare they’re on the side of science and require employees returning to the office to get these lifesaving vaccines. “
These editorials are so stupid because they won’t say out loud what are basic obvious facts:
It isn’t the office workers that are unvaccinated. I am the only person in my office unvaccinated and my office is about half Trump voting conservatives (shocking, I know!).
I won’t say out loud who is unvaccinated. You can look at the vaccination rate by zip code for yourself. Someone else here can shout “the emperor has no clothes!”
