ChatGPT, how does Illinois compare to other states with governors in prison? Here’s how Illinois compares to other states in terms of governors who have gone to prison — Illinois is #1. 🥇 Illinois: 4 governors in prison No other state has as many former governors incarcerated. 🥈 States tied for second place (each with 2 governors who went to prison) •Louisiana •Tennessee •Maryland •Arkansas •North Dakota •West Virginia •Arizona Most other states have zero or one governor who has ever been imprisoned. Why Illinois stands out Illinois’ political machine history (Chicago + Springfield) produced: •Patronage systems •Pay-to-play corruption •Long periods of single-party control •Weak early ethics laws This created an environment where corruption was easier and enforcement later became aggressive. If you’d like, I can rank all states, or explain what each of those states’ governors went to prison for.
This is the correct way to understand #Bitcoin... "Some fundamental currencies... are physics-based. So energy is the real currency; this is why I said Bitcoin is based on energy. You can't legislate energy; you just pass a law and suddenly have a lot of energy. It's very difficult to generate energy or especially harness energy in any useful way to do useful work. So I think that probably we won't have money and will just have energy, power generation as the de facto currency." ~ Elon Musk
