Chicago e Lokela ho Itokolla ho Baetsi ba Libetsa

Ka 1968, Chicago e ne e le setsi sa mantlha sa ho hanyetsa ha US Ntoeng ea Vietnam. Bacha ba likete-kete ba ile ba ipelaetsa ka ntoa Kopanong ea Mokha oa Democratic Party e bohareng ba toropo ea Chicago ’me ba ile ba tšoaroa ka sehlōhō ke Molebeli oa Sechaba o tletseng bora, sesole le sepolesa—tseo boholo ba tsona li ileng tsa phatlalatsoa lefatšeng lohle thelevisheneng.

Lefa lena la khanyetso ea ntoa, bo-imperiya le mapolesa a khethollo ea morabe Chicago le ntse le tsoela pele ho fihlela kajeno. Mehlala e mengata e hlakisa ntlha ena. Ka mohlala, bahlophisi ba sebetsa ho felisa motse $ 27 milione konteraka ka ShotSpotter, theknoloji e fosahetseng e ntlafalitsoeng bakeng sa ho sebelisoa libakeng tsa ntoa ho lemoha ho thunya ha lithunya ho bileng le karolo e kholo polao ea Lefapha la Sepolesa la Chicago ea Adam Toledo ea lilemo li 13 selemong se fetileng. Bahlophisi ba lehae le bona ba tsepamisitse maikutlo ho feliseng lenaneo la "1033" la sesole la Pentagon, le ntseng le tsoela pele. $ Limilione tse 4.7 thepa ea mahala ea sesole (joalo ka likoloi tsa lihlomo tsa MRAP tse manganga morafong, M16s, M17s, le bayonets) ho mekhatlo ea molao ea Illinois. Libekeng tse sa tsoa feta, batho ba bangata ba Chicago ba kene literateng ho ipelaetsa ka ntoa ea Ukraine. Mekhatlo ena e matla ea lehae e bonts'a boitlamo ba batho ba Chicago ba ho ema bonngoeng le sechaba se tobaneng le pefo ea sesole, lapeng le kantle ho naha.

Seo batho ba bangata ba Chicago ba sa se tsebeng, leha ho le joalo, ke hore lidolara tsa rona tsa lekhetho tsa lehae li bapala karolo e kholo ea lichelete ho ts'ehetsa sesole.

Toropo ea Chicago e na le lidolara tse limilione tse makholo tse tseteletsoeng ho baetsi ba libetsa le ba etsang phaello ea ntoa ka lichelete tsa penshene tsa toropo. Ka mohlala, letlole le le leng feela, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund (CTPF), le na le bonyane liranta tse limilione tse 260 tse tsetelitsoeng lik'hamphaning tsa libetsa ho kenyeletsa le baetsi ba libetsa tse hlano ba baholo ka ho fetisisa: Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics le Lockheed Martin. Matsete ana a hlohlelletsa lintoa tse sa feleng kantle ho naha le sesole sa mapolesa mona hae, e leng se hanyetsanang le seo e lokelang ho ba karolo ea mantlha ea toropo ea ho sireletsa bophelo bo botle le boiketlo ba baahi ba eona.           

Taba ke hore, ho tsetela lihlomong ha ho na kelello le moruong. Lithuto bontša hore matsete a tlhokomelo ea bophelo bo botle, thuto, le matla a hloekileng a theha mesebetsi e mengata ea malapeng - 'me maemong a mangata, mesebetsi e lefang hantle - ho feta chelete ea sesole. Sebakeng sa ho tsetela ho tse ling tsa mekhatlo e meholohali ea sesole lefatšeng, toropo e lokela ho etelletsa pele a sechaba se ama matsete leano le kenyang chelete mererong ea lehae e fanang ka melemo ea sechaba le/kapa ea tikoloho ho batho ba Chicago. Matsete a sechaba e boetse e na le kamano e tlase le lihlopha tsa thepa ea setso, e thibelang ho putlama ha mebaraka le likotsi tsa tsamaiso moruong. Ho feta moo, ba fana ka melemo ea lichelete joalo ka mefuta-futa ea li-portfolio, e tšehetsang phokotso ea likotsi. Ha e le hantle, 2020 e ne e le selemo sa rekoto bakeng sa matsete a nang le boikarabelo sechabeng le tikolohong, ka lichelete tsa ESG (Environmental Social Governance) tse sebetsang hantle ho feta lichelete tse tloaelehileng tsa tekano. Litsebi tse ngata li lebeletse khōlo e tsoelang pele.

Kaha chelete ea lekhetho la metse e tsoa ho sechaba, lichelete tsena li lokela ho tseteloa ka tsela e arabelang litakatsong tsa baahi ba Toropo. Ha toropo e tsetela thepa ea eona, toropo e lokela ho etsa liqeto ka boomo mabapi le mokhoa oa ho tsetela chelete, likhetho tse tsamaisoang ke boleng ba ts'ebetso, matlafatso ea sechaba, tekano ea merabe, ts'ebetso ea boemo ba leholimo, ho theha moruo o tsosolositsoeng oa matla, le tse ling.

Leha ho le joalo, ho lokela ho boleloa hore toropo e se e entse mehato e menyane ntlheng ena. Ka mohlala, Chicago haufinyane tjena e bile motse oa pele lefatšeng ho saena Melaong ea Machaba a Kopaneng ea Boikarabelo ba Matsete ka 2018. 'Me haufinyane tjena, Ramatlotlo oa Chicago City Melissa Conyears-Ervin. e entse hore e tle pele ho tsetela lidolara tsa Toropo ho lifeme tsa matsete tse fihlelang mefuta e fapaneng, tekano, le mekhoa ea ho kenyeletsa. Tsena ke mehato ea bohlokoa e lebisang ho leano la matsete le ananelang batho le polanete, ho phaella phaellong ea lichelete. Ho amoha lichelete tsa penshene tsa Toropo lihlomong ke mohato o latelang.

Haele hantle, qeto ea haufinyane ea Lekhotla la Toropo e hlahisitsoeng ke Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, mme e tšehelitsoe ke palo e ntseng e eketseha ea batho ba tsofetseng., e ikemiselitse ho etsa joalo. Qeto R2021-1305 e etsa boipiletso ba hore ho hlahlojoe bocha thepa ea Toropo, thekiso ea matsete a teng ho baetsi ba libetsa, le ho amoheloa ha leano la matsete le nang le boikarabelo sechabeng le emelang se hlileng se leng bohlokoa ho sechaba sa habo rona. Hape e ne e tla thibela matsete a kamoso lik'hamphaning tsa libetsa.

Ke nako e fetileng ea hore Chicago e emise ho fehla libetsa, ntoa le pefo ka lidolara tsa rona tsa lekhetho. Ka ho ntšetsa pele mosebetsi oa Toropo ena oa khahlano le sesole, batho ba Chicago ba ka sebelisa mantsoe a rona ho kopa hore ho felisoe pefo ea sesole matseteng a rona, literateng tsa rona le lefats'eng.
