Good article Jeff.

You were a trader.

There’s no hiding, no BS, no confusion, either you made money, and were right, or lost money and were wrong. ( I am over simplifying, sometimes a good trade loses money, and sometimes dumb trades make money, but that’s a different topic)

A trader who makes money is successful, it’s cut and dry.

That’s not how it works in politics.

They never have to review their efforts, audit their finances, adjust their methods, they just double down, triple down, throw more money at the problem, and the media provides cover.

Illinois schools are a disaster- they claim they need more money.

Illinois tourism is down, so they spend more on ads, etc. etc.

Capitalism works because you make a profit, or you go out of business. Socialism and big government fail because there is no clear standard for determining success. It becomes a quagmire of lies, distortions and nebulous claims that the oppressed were helped, the underprivileged were well served.

Until we have a media that is fair, objective and unbiased, we will see megalomaniacs like pritzker and sleaze bags like Joe Biden elected-

You are so right about Pritzker. He pulls a scam to avoid paying a huge portion of his own property taxes, but raises taxes on others. Crickets from the media and the Dems/‘progressives’/socialists.

He should be referred to as Toilet Boy, or maybe California Toilet Boy.

By the way, I love it when he tries to play the tough guy!
