The problem with Illinois is that they eventually move to Texas and Florida. Just like the borg.
We left and came to Oklahoma. One daughter and my sons are still in Illinois. They’d love to leave, but because of ex husband problems, my daughter can’t, and my daughter in law is in the pension plan, and in case it does stay solvent, (haw haw haw) she’s got another 20 some years to go. Her husband (my son) only has a 401k, which he is trying to manage well, but it’s rough right now. Besides, if they moved, it would have to be to a more northerly state, where dil’s parents live. My other son is stuck there taking care of his invalid father. They all hate it. My other daughter left years ago, and went to Texas. The good news -— they’re all conservatives. Thank You, Jesus!
Hey, some of us are still trying to flee because we got stuck with idiot neighbors. Y’know, the ones who voted for this crap, when we didn’t. My brother just moved to TX for a job, and he’s definitely not blue.
Now though, I’d really, REALLY like to leave.
