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.
I can’t think of a scenario where a business would consider moving to Illinois. What does Illinois have to offer anymore? It has deservedly gained a reputation as being unfriendly to business. Employees would resist the move to Illinois once they see the taxes and they would be scared if the company was moving to Chicago. Illinois has deteriorated so much that other states probably no longer consider Illinois as serious competition. Illinois is dying and yet many individuals reading this comment still won’t leave. Whatever. It’s their choice. It’s their funeral.
It’s the roads, we need to fix the roads. Remember that, they used to say no companies would move here because our roads were in poor shape. Good thing they passed the safe roads amendment. Once they fix the roads we’ll get all sorts of companies moving here.
The new roads will make it easier to leave.
Good bye Illinois! Keep voting democrat Illinois fools
