Audio and summary 
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.
no worries…nothing to see, JB can simply replace all those lost Yaskawa jobs and others with completely un-regulated $1 bill in NGO gigs on the taxpayers dime…..economics is so easys-peasy in Illinois.
Businesses and people leaving the state yet our our idiot leaders spend billions on illegals . This is idiocy
It is Illinois Policies that have been going on for decades. The has high taxes because the cost of the public sector services is far higher than it should be. It is the kiss of death in the long run.
That’s going to leave a mark!
