-- 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. Audio here.
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.

Keep your eye out for further manipulations to keep serving the fear and death narrative — just heard report of hospital equipment actually being withheld, shortages, etc. As in, unseen in the whistleblower’s 20-yr. healthcare history. I don’t put it past these covid cultists to actually cause deaths in this fashion.
Wow!
With all these “Covid Deaths” in Illinois, I must be the only one, in the entire “State of Intoxication” that does not know anyone that has died from it…
Pritzker is heading out of town for the holiday violating Lightfoot’s travel ban. Nothing like the king doing what the commoner’s can’t.

Sure shut down the entire state when almost 50% of all Covid deaths stem from nursing homes. Not sure if nursing home residents who were transferred from nursing homes to hospitals and died there were counted as deaths in hospitals or deaths in nursing homes. If nursing home patients died in hospitals then nursing home deaths would be a greater percentage of all deaths. Does anyone know?
It’s the latter. Hospitals were made to “clear” beds to make “room” (a psy-op in itself), thus sending older patients needing acute care to nursing homes which could not provide it. Thus more nursing home deaths. I expect more, if slightly different, maneuvers like this in coming months. We are in evil times.
Pritzker STILL NOT protecting the most vulnerable!!!
Oh I forgot, its all ‘Orange Mans’ fault!
HE is just taking his cues from Cuomo.
Soon Fat A** will be out with his own book about his service to Illinois while he was in Florida or Wisconsin.
So internist Ezike just admitted that’s it’s not bars and restaurants but sadly nursing homes and long term care facilities. Priztker and Ezike have both known all along about are seniors and the most vulnerable. Both need to be put on the carpet for there negligence.
Absolutely. They have known for months that there would likely be another wave in the fall- and that nursing homes are most vulnerable. Instead of protecting the vulnerable, they waste funds on things like “contact tracing” that will never work.

Our are zero layoff/ just got a giant pay raise/ idph asfcme hero employees even on the job? Or still supposedly doing a bang-up job working remotely?—from articale, “The experience fueled debate over the IDPH’s oversight of a mostly for-profit industry, during which the Tribune found it cut back inspections, at times breaking state law, as the virus raced through facilities. IDPH forced out two top administrators and announced it had hired a consulting firm to conduct a “top to bottom review” of its oversight practices. That was four months ago. The Tribune filed a public records request Sept. 4 to obtain any reports… Read more »
