COVID-19 Part V

We could have been protected from the virus sooner if Trump would have said something. Things might have been different in Chicago. The whole CDC Board would have called the mayor and governor to meet and make sure all of the big businesses would not have to lay off their employees. The workers in our schools and our restaurants and cleaners would have been safe.


Youth should have consequences if they do not follow the law. They should be punished by taking care of senior citizens, taking them to get vaccines and going shopping with them. This would help prevent any more business owners from going under.


One risk to the city is our budget issues. There is something wrong with the governor’s budget plan. I think the number one most dangerous part is the 7 million dollar cut to the Cook County Department of Corrections.We need more services, not less. Education is the best way to go because if the mayors in the city and the suburbs allow staff to open the schools it will take the pressure off the parents. 


There is good news though. A hospital in Naperville just received a shipment of the vaccines which will first go to assisted living residents and nursing homes. For now, parents better sit their teens down and tell them not to let their guard down until the Illinois Health Department has the vaccine for everybody in the state. The vaccine will be all over the USA, starting with the East Coast. We need to wait until everything is cleared by medical professionals -- we’re counting on them!

Take the Red Light Cameras Off the Chicago Streets and Put Up Police Cameras Instead

The red light speeding cameras that are on the city streets and suburban roads are not needed as much as security ones. The tax money should be available for police cameras to prevent and make sure we are safe. Because there is so much crime around here, those cameras will help. Good behavior on the road is important. Cameras should be used in investigations that are even more important than speeding. Footage can help make sure that whoever did the crime can be caught so there are no false arrests. It is better to help taxpayers save money by putting police cameras on the highways, the interstate, the tri-state, and all other interstate ramps. Police cameras should also be put in grocery store and mall parking lots and underground parking lots. They should also be put in universities to help prevent any predators or any other deviants. There should be state police cameras at gas stations and other places on the sides of the highways. Redlight cameras are not as effective as police came

Preventing Gun Violence

There are better ways to solve disputes than using a weapon. It is a sad shame that the police and our court system are not able to solve things. The easiest way to stop violence is to ask everyone to make an appointment with a mental health professional. The mayor or governor should meet with President Biden to get a solution on how to handle the gun problem and get money for mental health providers. This is starting to not make any sense. There is not enough leadership. After so many cases of gun violence, including in the suburbs, the police, mayor, and others are still not taking things seriously. Sometimes gun violence cases are just because the owners are very careless and do not lock up a loaded gun to keep it out of a child’s reach. The gun might even belong to parents who are in law enforcement. We need to keep firearms out of the reach of the mentally ill who should not be able to use them. Gunowners should wake up and get heavy duty lockboxes and never keep their guns in the

President Biden did a great job in compromising with Russia in order to bring Brittney Griner home. It was great to see her back with her family. Hopefully we can have more positive news stories like this in the future.
