CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Removing controversial monuments is ‘akin to erasing history,’ some residents tell committee conducting review. During recent meetings, members of the public have been most vocal about the potential removal of statues of Christopher Columbus, as well as monuments to the Italian fascist leader Italo Balbo and former U.S. presidents. – Tom Schuba (DIERSEN: The more the following demographics that the subject of a statute had, the more that Democrats want to tear that statute down: conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owner, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or if he had ancestors who had been in America for a long time.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20210407/mental-health-funding-proposal-too-close-to-call-in-milton-township
(FROM THE ARTICLE: County election authorities are still counting mail-in ballots that must be returned within two weeks of Election Day to be included in the final results. Referendum organizers this week plan to observe the process to get a sense of how many mail-in ballots are coming in from Milton Township and whether there’s enough to make up the gap. State election officials on Wednesday reported up to 5,785 outstanding mail-in ballots countywide. County election officials are not expected to post additional vote counts until Friday.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— United’s pledge to diversify its pilot ranks sparks social media backlash.

— Pritzker digs Chicago financial hole deeper by increasing city firefighter pensions – Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner
https://wirepoints.org/pritzker-digs-chicago-financial-hole-deeper-by-increasing-city-firefighter-pensions-wirepoints/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gov. J.B. Pritzker dug Chicago’s financial hole deeper this week, signing a bill that increases the pension benefits for Chicago firefighters. That follows his expansion of the Chicago Teachers Union’s collective bargaining powers last week, sure to result in larger budget deficits and more chaos for the city’s school system. The new pension law grants all Chicago firefighter retirees a 3 percent annual compounded increase (COLA) to their pensions. Prior to the law, retired firefighters born after 1/1/1966 received only a 1.5 percent simple increase every year. Now, those 2,200 additional firefighters will get the 3 percent COLA. You have to wonder if none of Pritzker’s advisers told him that the Chicago firefighter plan is just 18 percent funded, among the worst funded plans in the country. Or that it and the rest of the city’s plans are running out of assets – the firefighter plan’s assets are less than four year’s worth of payouts. Well-funded plans across the nation have assets worth at least 20 years of future payouts.)

— The Tyranny of the Majority – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano (DIERSEN: According to Democrats, those who are in the majority discriminate against those who are in the minority. In what ways are you in the minority? Only 157 in my precinct voted for Trump while 269 voted for Biden. Only 26,080 in Milton Township voted for Trump while 39,530 voted for Biden. Only 193,611 in DuPage County voted for Trump while 281,222 voted for Biden. Only 2,446,891 in Illinois voted for Trump while 3,471,915 voted for Biden. Those who voted for Biden are anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

That had a tremendous impact on my parents, me, and my brother. The defeated Missouri Synod Lutherans, including my parents, me, and my brother, went to Hope Lutheran Church in Park Forest ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hope-Lutheran-Church/142202365812738 ) to stay with the Missouri Synod.)

I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old. But by then, IRS and other employers viewed me as being much too old to have a successful career in accounting.)

REFINERY 29
— Is Early Retirement Actually Worth The Cost? – WHIZY KIM (DIERSEN: If you are not retired, when you do retire, what will you do with the rest of your life? If you are retired, what are you doing with the rest of your life? My Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. Since 2000, I have been putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out. Those newsletters a) have gone out each and every morning since 2004, b) have gone out each and evening too since 2015, c) have included links to almost 396,900 articles and information on many upcoming events, and d) have been and always will be free and contain no advertising.)
https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/2021/04/10409276/early-retirement-cost-experiences
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The retirement fantasy used to look like this: It’s your 65th birthday, and you can finally kick back. You’re basking in the glow of your sunset years, thrilled at the idea of never having to work again. Head empty, no thoughts, just Mai Tais on the beach. It’s the ultimate, idyllic reward for dedicating decades of your life to work — especially when you sometimes (or often) didn’t want to do so. In reality, retirement looks totally different than it once did — even as a fantasy. At the same time as an increasing number of Americans are retiring later than 65, many others are throwing as much money as they can toward the goal of retiring early — not just by their 50s, but in their 30s or 40s. The F.I.R.E. movement, which stands for “financial independence/retire early,” has gained a lot of disciples in recent years, but it also has its detractors. Some people love the idea in theory, but don’t think it’s feasible for them in practice. Others wonder what you do with the rest of your life if you retire in your 30s. But many of those who are on the F.I.R.E. path are quick to point out that early retirement isn’t necessarily about never working again. Instead, it’s about having more control over the work you choose to do. Ultimately, the question isn’t simply whether it’s realistic for the average person — it’s also about whether the costs of pursuing early retirement are worth it.)

— Affordable Housing Should Be a Priority – Jamelle Bouie (DIERSEN: Where did your down payment come from? I bought a new town home in University Park September 1972 when I was 24 years old. The down payment came from what I had earned a) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights full-time August 1970-March 1971 and part-time since March 1971 and b) working for IRS in Chicago and then in Harvey since June 1971. That money also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in October 1971 and to pay tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola starting in January 1972. I had graduated debt-free from NIU August 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. The money for tuition, books, and room and board came from what I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office November 1966-September 1969. I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974 and a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976. The down payments came from what I earned working for IRS. My wife and I bought a home in Wheaton in 1978. The down payment came from what she had earned working for the FBI and U.S. League of Savings Institutions (League). We had a new home built in Wheaton in 1984. The down payment came from the equity that we had in our home and from what I earned working for GAO and from what my wife earned working for the League.)

— Vaccine passports are latest flash point in COVID politics – MARK SCOLFORO (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes want vaccine passports to be required so that they can use that requirement to more rapidly and more viciously destroy those who are not vaccinated.)
https://apnews.com/article/travel-new-york-data-privacy-immunizations-coronavirus-pandemic-f1c7623849d5458bcda3aed67f4c3d90
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The argument over whether passports are a sensible response to the pandemic or governmental overreach echoes the bitter disputes over the past year about masks, shutdown orders and even the vaccines themselves. . .But lawmakers around the country are already taking a stand against the idea. GOP senators in Pennsylvania are drawing up legislation that would prohibit vaccine passports, also known as health certificates or travel passes, from being used to bar people from routine activities. “We have constitutional rights and health privacy laws for a reason,” said Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff, a Republican. “They should not cease to exist in a time of crisis. These passports may start with COVID-19, but where will they end?” Benninghoff said this week his concern was “using taxpayer money to generate a system that will now be, possibly, in the hands of mega-tech organizations who’ve already had problems with getting hacked and security issues.”)

Several House Democrats facing midterm campaigns in 2022 received a surprise in the form of $5,000 from New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The contributions were sent in an effort to help the House majority stay ahead of a tough upcoming election cycle without contributing directly to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee — which AOC has been publicly against. She created a political action committee (PAC) to raise money for progressive primary candidates herself after she criticized DCCC policies.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1) Money is a construct. It can be created from thin air. Annual deficits and aggregate national debt no longer matter much. . .2) Laws are not necessarily binding anymore. Joe Biden took an oath to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”. . .3) Racialism is now acceptable. We are defined first by our ethnicity or religion, and only secondarily — if at all — by an American commonality. . .4) The immigrant is mostly preferable to the citizen. . .5) Most Americans should be treated as we would treat little children. . .6) Hypocrisy is passe. Virtue-signaling is alive. . .7) Ignoring or perpetuating homelessness is preferable to ending it. . .8) McCarthyism is good. Destroying lives and careers for incorrect thoughts saves more lives and careers. Cancel culture and the Twitter Reign of Terror provide needed deterrence. . .9) Ignorance is preferable to knowledge. . .10) Wokeness is the new religion, growing faster and larger than Christianity. Its priesthood outnumbers the clergy and exercises far more power. Silicon Valley is the new Vatican, and Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google and Twitter are the new gospels.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger is at war with Trumpism, but GOP ‘tribes’ are heavily against him – ERIC ZORN (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. I am a member of the Republican Party’s platform tribe.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/columns/eric-zorn/ct-column-kinzinger-trump-republican-tribes-poll-fabrizio-zorn-20210402-ttjzojzj3rgivi7rxxc4upf4em-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The bad news for Kinzinger is that a recent national survey of more than 1,200 Republican voters found that only 15% fall into the “Never Trump” category. The survey, conducted by Fabrizio, Lee and Associates, a Republican polling firm, and released in March, sorted the GOP into five “tribes,” four of which are populated by Trump fans. The “Diehard Trumpers” tribe makes up 27% of the party, the survey found. Members of this group said they “believe Trump should still lead the party,” will definitely support him if he runs for president in 2024 and consider themselves more Trump supporters than Republicans. The “Infowars GOP” tribe — the crackpot caucus — makes up 10% of the party and its members believe “several conspiracy theories pushed by QAnon” as part of their near unanimous support of Trump. The “Trump Boosters” tribe makes up 28% of the party, according to the poll findings. These Republicans give the ex-president “very strong job approval ratings” and show a preference for Trump in a theoretical primary ballot. The “Post-Trump GOP” tribe, 20% of the party, has a “strong, positive opinion” of Trump, but members say they think it’s time for him to step back. Yet only 5% of that tribe expressed support for the theoretical 2024 candidacy of Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, the most Kinzingeresque of the potential Republican presidential hopefuls. Overall, 88% of respondents had a favorable opinion of Trump’s presidency and 57% said they’d definitely vote for him if he runs again. And while, yes, Anthony Fabrizio worked as a pollster for Trump in 2016 and 2020, FiveThirtyEight’s pollster rating gives his firm decent marks and says its results skew slightly Democratic. Further, the overall image emerging from the Fabrizio Lee poll of the GOP as a party in cultish thrall to Trump is born out by news story after news story of moderate Republican officeholders under threat or heading for the exits. Kinzinger hasn’t announced his political plans yet and did not return my request for comment. But if he runs for reelection in 2022 the “fight and battle” he envisions looks to be far tougher than just “difficult.”)

CONSERVATIVE HQ
— What’s Jesus coming back for? – George Rasley
https://www.conservativehq.org/post/what-s-jesus-coming-back-for
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Back in 2014, Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the Duck Dynasty clan and a committed Evangelical Christian preached an Easter sermon about sin at Whites Ferry Road Church in his hometown of West Monroe, LA. The substance of the sermon, based on a verse from Corinthians defining “sinners,” eventually got him pushed out of his TV show and generally deplatformed. “Neither the sexually immoral, nor the idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes, nor homosexual offenders, nor thieves, nor greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God,” preached Mr. Robertson. The New York Post reported that during the time Mr. Robertson was preaching the “Duck Dynasty” patriarch got tremendous rounds of applause and cheers. Does anyone reading this believe the cheers and applause were because the audience was free of sin, or that no one in attendance had checked any of the boxes on the list Paul gave us in his letter to the church at Corinth? If you do, we have a bridge in Brooklyn and a couple of New Age books to sell you, cheap.)

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2021/04/01/obama-the-oppressor-n2587252
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Progressive leftists across the country are demanding that schools named after people who don’t pass their purity tests get new monikers. But in Waukegan, Illinois, they’re having a difficult time finding a suitable alternative. Two committees comprised of students, staff, and those in the community were tasked with renaming the Thomas Jefferson Middle School and the Daniel Webster Middle School, the first because he was a slave owner and the latter because he supported slavery. During a school board meeting on Tuesday to discuss some of the finalists for the Thomas Jefferson Middle School, immigration activists expressed their disapproval over one of the finalists: former President Barack Obama. . .So now, despite being America’s first black president, Obama is considered an “oppressor,” not woke enough to have a school named after him.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Breaking Down and Breaking Up? – J. Robert Smith
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/04/breaking_down_and_breaking_up_.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Joe Biden woke up on third base and thinks he hit a triple. Someone has told the president that he was elected by the American people to fundamentally change our country. He thinks he has a mandate, and that all that stands between him and success is a few ornery Republicans in the Senate who refuse to get out of the way. Correction. Biden believes that the only thing standing between him and greatness are cranky senators who do not see the United States as systemically racist, who don’t believe in vastly expanding the welfare state, who think that individual creativity and achievement have built our great country and who are absolutely positive that Democrats are leading us down a very dangerous path.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay reassured the public during his visit on KSNT News Wednesday morning that the DUI case against Kansas Senate Majority Leader Gene Suellentrop will be handled just like other violation. “Absolutely, I think that’s what we have to do,” Kagay said. ” And that should be the expectations of the community we serve. Kansas Senate Majority Leader Gene Suellentrop was pulled over by the Topeka Police Department and the Kansas Highway Patrol after driving the wrong way on a Topeka highway. Callers to 911 initially reported seeing a white SUV driving west in the eastbound lanes of I-470 starting near Wanamaker Road and minutes later on I-70 around 12:45 a.m. It was the Kansas Highway Patrol that identified the driver of the SUV as Republican Kansas Senate Majority Leader Gene Suellentrop.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Biden’s Push for Electric Cars: $174 Billion, 10 Years and a Bit of Luck. The president is hoping to make electric vehicles more affordable to turn a niche product into one with mass appeal. – Niraj Chokshi
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/31/business/biden-electric-vehicles-infrastructure.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Biden is a muscle-car guy — one of his most prized possessions is a 1967 Corvette that he got from his father. But he’s trying to make this an electric vehicle world. The $2 trillion infrastructure plan that he unveiled on Wednesday is aimed at tackling climate change in part by spending up to $174 billion to encourage Americans to switch to cars and trucks that run on electricity, not gasoline or diesel. That is a large investment but it might not be enough to push most Americans toward E.V.s. Despite rapid growth in recent years, electric vehicles remain a niche product, making up just 2 percent of the new car market and 1 percent of all cars, sport-utility vehicles, vans and pickup trucks on the road. They have been slow to take off in large part because they can cost up to $10,000 more than similar conventional cars and trucks. Charging E.V.s is also more difficult and slower than simply refilling the tank at far more prevalent gas stations.)

— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: Loyola Academy in Wilmette asks students how they ‘wield’ white privilege in assignment – Jonathan Garber (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrat teachers crank out “good little Democrats” who are full of hatred against those who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.fox6now.com/news/chicago-area-prep-school-asks-students-how-they-wield-white-privilege-in-assignment
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Loyola Academy, which boasts high-profile alums such as comedian Bill Murray and actor Chris O’Donnell, has 2,094 students in grades 9 through 12 and costs $17,750 per year. About 80% of students are White, 6% Asian, 5% Black and 5% Hispanic. Loyola’s website says the school is committed to building a “welcoming, accepting school culture and climate in which all members feel a genuine sense of belonging.” However, another student, who asked to remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation, noted that ethics and sociology classes at the school are “very left-leaning” and that one exam being administered this week teaches kids there are 72 different genders. A second student speaking on the condition of anonymity told Fox News that it’s “shamed upon to be a conservative.” Some students, including Brennan, recently tried to start a chapter of Turning Point USA, an organization that advocates conservative narratives on school campuses, but were told by student activities group leaders Melissa Krein and Noah Hartman that they were not allowed to do so because the group is “anti-Semitic and racist.” The students were told, before a meeting to discuss the club had even begun, that there was a zero percent chance the chapter would be allowed on campus. A Zoom meeting held after the students were denied the ability to start a Turning Point chapter alerted parents to the “overlying problem” with what the kids were being taught, Brennan said. Since then, the students started a petition that has received over 170 signatures voicing support for a Turning Point chapter on Loyola’s campus. Loyola Academy needs conservative voices like Turning Point USA more than ever before, and it’s exactly why they are fighting to keep us out,” said Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA. Kirk is a frequent guest on Fox News and FOX Business. In the end, the students just want to go to a school where everyone’s voice can be heard. Loyola Academy is trying to make itself a more inclusive place, but “while doing so they have failed to include conservative voices,” Brennan said. The school has been “transformed into a social justice powerhouse,” said the first student speaking anonymously. “That’s not what school is. It’s supposed to educate, inform and give kids the opportunity to form their own opinions and critically think on their own.”)

https://patch.com/illinois/chicago/lyons-township-conservative-group-meets-without-district-backing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In order for the group to be an official club by district standards, several things must occur, Bialobok wrote. The person proposing the club or activity must answer all questions in the Proposal Questionnaire — such as, a description of the club, a description of the lessons, experiences or benefits of the club, and where, when and how often the club will meet, etc. The person proposing the club or activity must also submit the New Club/Activity Petition, which should include at least 25 signatures from current LTHS students who would agree to join the club or activity should it be approved. The Stipend Committee, which meets four times per year, must decide whether to recommend the proposal to the Board of Education’s Human Resource Committee, to return the proposal with suggestions, or to reject the proposal. According to Bialobok, the Stipend Committee meets four times a year and would need to approve a club for a one-year pilot program. For the club to achieve full club status (which includes a stipend for the sponsor), the Stipend Committee, the district’s central office, the board of education’s human resources committee, and full board must approve. Meanwhile, a petition posted on Change.org entitled, “Keep hateful organizations out of Lyons Township High School” recently appeared online. As of Tuesday, the petition only had 12 signatures after being started by a poster with a username of “Concerned student.” The petition takes exception to the organization’s approach to “friendly relations” with far-right organizations, which the organizer of the petition does not want to gain traction at the high school level, the person wrote.)

https://www.bostonherald.com/2021/03/31/editorial-web-site-boosts-trump-link-with-supporters/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: When they’re not excoriating him, Democrats have been doing their level best to pave over the accomplishments of former President Donald Trump. To hear them tell it, Dr. Anthony Fauci spearheaded the ramped-up vaccine operation, and President Joe Biden should be credited with its rollout. Dems take particular glee in Trump’s ban from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. If they think this has dimmed his fire, they are much mistaken. Trump and wife Melania launched a website, 45office.com, offering a way for supporters to reach out to the pair. “The official website of the 45th President of the United States will allow individuals to submit correspondence, scheduling requests, and press inquiries for President and Mrs. Trump,” they announced. “President and Mrs. Trump are continually strengthened by the enduring spirit of the American people, and they look forward to staying in touch.” The site will no doubt rouse the ire of Dems — and disdain of late night hosts — who rarely miss a chance to sneer at the former president, while ignoring the appeal he holds for 74 million Americans. As the left wing continues to gain power on Capitol Hill and progressive legislation passes with little regard for those with opposing views, you can bet Trump’s supporters will be reaching out and speaking up. A website may not have the immediacy of a Twitter blast, but it’s still a valuable platform if one were to, say, back conservative candidates for midterm elections. Trump still has juice, and supporters. And Democrats will ignore both of these at their political peril.)

This just-in-time delivery is costing us untold dollars for short-term savings. . . A UAW spokesman, when asked about the Stellantis shutdowns, directed a reporter to a previous statement, highlighting the off-shoring of semiconductor production over the previous 30 years to South Korea, Taiwan and China.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hinsdale officials have until April 15 to answer the complaints the U.S. Department of Justice and an agency providing housing for people recovering from addiction filed against the village, after a federal judge denied the village’s motions to dismiss the two lawsuits. Trinity Sober Living in July 2019 bought a house for up to 10 men to live and receive services as they recovered from alcoholism or drug addiction. Because the house, at 111 Grant St., was in a neighborhood zoned for single-family houses, the village claimed Trinity Sober Living violated its zoning code, which prohibits commercial uses in residential areas and limits the number of unrelated individuals who can live in a single-family home to three. In his March 18 opinion and order, U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman wrote he considers “the crux” of Trinity’s complaint to be Hinsdale failed to make reasonable accommodations to afford Trinity’s clients equal opportunity to enjoy the use of the house, per the Fair Housing Act. Trinity argued people recovering from addiction are protected by the American with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. Hinsdale’s zoning code allows licensed public or private agencies to operate group homes for up to six individuals in multifamily zoned area only with a special use permit.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Monday, Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) discussed her recent push for more Asian representation in the White House after President Joe Biden vowed to create the “most diverse cabinet” in American history. Duckworth, who recently contested the Biden administration’s white cabinet appointees in the name of more “diversity,” said she was told by the White House that since Vice President Kamala Harris represents the Asian-American community, there is not a need for “any other Asians in the cabinet.” She went on to say the issue was worked out with the administration, and she is “pleased” there is now someone to help Asian-Americans navigate their issues.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But whether American consumers and businesses will accept the idea of providing proof before entry is not so obvious, she said. Just as many Americans have resisted wearing masks during the pandemic, some will reject the idea of showing a certificate to get into a ballgame or nightclub. Requiring vaccination “is not something we have done before within this country outside of school systems and hospitals,” said Fairchild, adding it would be incredibly useful from a public health standpoint and could eventually be expanded to cover flu and measles shots – if public opinion would allow it.)

https://www.govexec.com/management/2021/03/new-blacks-government-president-reflects-her-career-during-womens-history-month/172952/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I have spent my entire government career at the U.S. Government Accountability Office, almost 33 years now. Having started as a GS-7 summer legal associate in 1988, I have been living out my childhood dream of becoming a lawyer, a dream that ultimately grew into becoming a lawyer who would help the government be accountable to, and representative of, the people that it serves. And, I am very proud that in February of 2019, I was appointed by the U.S. comptroller general to the Senior Executive Service making me the first African American female in the agency’s now 100-year history to be appointed to the position of managing associate general counsel. As such, within GAO’s Office of General Counsel, I have management and leadership responsibility for three of the office’s legal teams focused on budget and appropriations law and congressional oversight. In addition, after 25 years of membership, I am proudly serving as the 15th National President of Blacks in Government, a position I assumed on January 1, 2021. And, through my work at GAO supporting the Congress and the American people and my work in [Blacks in Government] supporting greater diversity, equity and inclusion, I am indeed living out my childhood dream.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ford isn’t the only local automobile manufacturer impacted by the chip shortage. General Motors Co. idled its Fairfax Assembly Plant on Feb. 8 and doesn’t expect to be able to bring it back online until mid-April. The plant employs 2,229 people and produces the Chevrolet Malibu and Cadillac XT4. General Motors (NYSE: GM) expects the shortage will cause it to lose between $1.5 billion and $2 billion in profits in 2021. The chips, which require dust-free, specialized facilities to produce, are in short supply due to a huge spike in demand for electronics during the Covid-19 pandemic. Demand isn’t expected to slow anytime soon and getting new plants online costs billions of dollars and takes years of construction.)
