I’m at the point where I am glad Johnson won and I hope he gets every agenda item passed into law. Chicagoans deserve it.

Where might they move to? Delaware? Texas? Virgina?
The new mayor may not realize what a can of worms he’s opening up.

If they were smart, out of Illinois to a much more pleasant business friendly state.

Think of your employees, Mr. Terry. Do you really want them dodging bullet and knives coming and going to work every day?

Ridiculous that the commodity exchanges are in NY and CHI.

When we read of these wealth inequalities between states-
both of these exchanges are responsible for tons of wealth over a long time while the commodities largely come out of red states.

Whenever the left allows one of their own to be pushed from office, LOOK OUT!

The replacement will ALWAYS be worse.

They just need some servers in any state they decide to move to. It is not like the old days where people had to be in the same building yelling BUY! or SELL!
I wonder how many of the traders actually live in Chicago?

My guess is that sunny, politically congenial Florida tops the list. Ft. Lauderdale is especially attractive as one of the world's best venues for yachting.

Trades are electronic and the racks of servers can be housed in a warehouse in any secured non-descript warehouse. They no longer need the Chicago site.

The Exchange building could be re-purposed for homeless or illegal immigrants. Vote blue.
