"Wealthy" Chicago Households On Hook For $2 Million In Debt Each Under 'Progressive Solution' To Pension Crisis

One-fifth of Chicagoans live in poverty and nearly half of all Chicago households make less than $50,000 a year. It wouldn’t just be wrong to try and squeeze those Chicagoans further, but pointless. They don’t have the money.

So if that won’t work, why not just put all the burden on Chicago’s “rich?” After all, Illinois lawmakers are pushing progressive tax schemes as the panacea for Illinois’ problems.

If households earning $200,000 or more are the target, they’ll be on the hook for more than $2 million each in government retirement debts. That’s an outrageous burden, too.

Comment: These are the sort of things that happen before things go BOOM.

Report: Slavery reparations proposals could cost US more than $17 trillion

Reporter Kristin Myers pulled the numbers from various academic and economic studies — tallying up the costs of unpaid wages to slaves, the impact of Jim Crow laws on African Americans, "and current discrimination that black people face in the labor market, health care system, or education and criminal justice systems."

After adjusting the amounts into today's dollars, Myers came up with the eye-popping reparations price tag, noting that "it's unclear how a sum as potentially as large as $17.1 trillion would be financed." She pointed to research conducted by Duke University public policy professor William Darity and UMass Amherst professor Dania Francis, which suggested the funds could be raised "through additional taxes, or by issuing bonds."

Comment: We have entered a Grand Solar Minimum. In the Maunder Minimum wheat prices in Britain rose 400%. The magnetosphere of the sun is reduced during a GSM.
The earth's magnetosphere is reduced in tandem with the sun. The reduced magnetism allows the Jet Stream to wander bringing hail and rain in some areas and droughts to other areas. This has driven food price increases due to crop losses.

‘We Need to Ban Fracking’: New Analysis of 1,500 Scientific Studies Details Threat to Health and Climate

A comprehensive analysis of nearly 1,500 scientific studies, government reports, and media stories on the consequences of fracking released Wednesday found that the evidence overwhelmingly shows the drilling method poses a profound threat to public health and the climate.

The sixth edition of the Compendium of Scientific, Medical, and Media Findings Demonstrating Risks and Harms of Fracking (the Compendium), published by Physicians for Social Responsibility and Concerned Health Professionals of New York, found that “90.3 percent of all original research studies published from 2016-2018 on the health impacts of fracking found a positive association with harm or potential harm.”

The analysis (pdf) also found that:

69 percent of original research studies on water quality found potential for, or actual evidence of, fracking-associated water contamination;

87 percent of original research studies on air quality found significant air pollutant emissions; and
