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.
Chicago won’t even close schools with a current enrollment drooping to less than 25% of their capacity. That’s fiscal responsibility, CTU/DNC style!

The baby bust has huge implications for colleges in the near future. Too many desks, too few students!
