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.
Illinois is not business friendly. This will be the death of the private sector.
Only government lackey jobs will be any good.
Never open up a private sector business in a state that does not want you.
The push for $25/hour by SEIU and other union activists should cure this shortly – the businesses will just shut down. That is the SEIU that Illinois residents just voted to further empower by changing our state constitution. I don’t feel sorry for anyone naive enough to start a business in Illinois, as to do so would mean they blew off the all important due diligence work.
