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.
I don’t expect much of a change in Illinois due to the Janus decision. The government unions will seek extra-judicial remedies to claw back any lost revenues, including worker intimidation and assisting government employers to release non-compliant employees to make room for those eager to pay full dues.
The corrupt alliance between the Illinois Democratic Party and the government employee unions is too profitable and entrenched to be noticeably impacted by something as trivial as a SCOTUS decision.
There is no worker freedom in Illinois in any way shape or form. All working Illinois residents are forced to labor in the yoke of Government servitude to pay for the lavish salaries, healthcare, and pensions of their master overseers in the public sector. Their children are born into public debt slavery with the unconscionable, greedy public sector workers stealing food from their very mouths to feed their insatiable lust for unfair compensation.
The better headline would be: “Supreme Court protects Public Employees First Amendment Rights”
