"...I would love nothing more than to return to Chicago at some point, at least on a part-time basis each year. But I don’t see it happening in my lifetime without radical change that addresses the three reasons we left, linked by a commonality of city, county and state government waste, malfeasance and apathy."
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.
The problem with Chicago are the people that live here.
They are NOT the same people who built this place, worked it’s factories and created new businesses and industries, that much is certain.
Spot on Marko. Future generations will wonder how they did it and where did they all disappear to?
I get the same feeling when I look at the pyramids.
Now contrast this articles analysis with the long list of lightweights running for Mayor. Nope. Chicago is unfixable. Leave before it’s to late.
