The best reason for businesses to locate in the Chicago area is the workforce – Daily Herald*

Professor Bob Bruno identifies many reasons business look to locate elsewhere -- including cheaper labor, lower taxes, cheaper land, tax credits -- but that reasoning is shortsighted, he said.

The most important component is going to be the quality of the labor because all of the value is going to be driven in the production process, and I think that gets overlooked."

The good component of the Illinois work force is planning to move or moving on to other states or just hanging on till they get their retirement.. Many of the ones that are left are the woke lunatics you wouldn’t want to hire.

It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

Chicago needs more champions of literacy like Willie Wilson – Wirepoints

It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
