Nothing will change the people who can will continue to leave, those that cannot will stay but the exodus will continue. The future will become one of states who have and states who have not. Miami is getting ready to take away the money from Wall Street, Chase is moving facilities to prepair . Watch as Ronald and McDonald’s soon follows suite.
