Following “recent controversial state laws and policies,” the city of Chicago is using a full-page ad in this Sunday’s edition of the Dallas Morning News to invite Texans and Texas-based companies to come north.
"Dear Texas," reads the ad from World Business Chicago, "There were always more than 100 reasons why Chicago is a great place for business... Now we'd like to highlight a few more. In Chicago, we believe in every person's right to vote, protecting reproductive rights, and science to fight COVID-19. If you want to build or expand your company or are looking to build your career, come to Chicago.”
Chicago has multiple trimester options … lead over here … lead over there … no need to rush into a decision the neighborhood can help you out later

The officials behind this attempt have been spending too much time visiting the Ganja dispensary. They are hallucinating!

We have friends in Texas that moved from the Chicagoland area who said Texas is hot but they would never move back.

Come to Illinois where murder is legal at any age. Crains? If you’re a gun person, Chicago is great! Big game? The best, you can hunt down and shoot people! All risk free! Crains?

Our business environment,, taxes and weather sucks but we allow late term abortions for 16 year olds!
And they put the ad in a newspaper! A newspaper! Who in their right mind thought this would be a good idea?
Double post, but I saw an article on the Trib home page about this again. Think about how gruesome and tone deaf this is. It’s a full page ad that says “can’t murder your unborn child in Texax, come to Illinois!” Gruesome really, disgusting. What sick person would actually move to Illinois because of this?

The naivete that the employees of these Texas companies want to move north to Chicago. You might be able to get them to Charlotte. But Chicago?! lol
Good luck with this. As a former Texas resident who stays in contact with people there, I can attest that Chicago is everything they don’t want to become. They would be happy to see anybody leave who thinks IL is a place to go. Yes, there are plenty there angry about the state’s new abortion law, but it’s likely to be struck down eventually.
No it won’t ! The law is perfectly reasonable and it does not stop a woman from getting an abortion! If you have unprotected sex and you know what time it is in your cycle, you get yourself checked out and if need be you can have your abortion. Once a heart beat is detected then all things change!
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
