I think any real thinking people have escaped Illinois and there are probably none left that would even consider “burning the state down”.

You think wrongly. Most of us here will simply ignore Governor Creosote. So will most of the County Sheriffs and a substantial number of local police departments.

Chicago isn’t the entire State. And a whole lot of people are going to tell Governor Lardass to GFH.

There are “for sale” signs everywhere and it is evidently a statewide thing.

I haven’t gotten to escape because we can’t afford it. It sucks. This state eats up our incomes through huge taxes, which leads to high rent. Property taxes are absolutely fvcked here.

I don’t want to live here. I’ve been trying to get my husband to save a little extra money for years, but he didn’t take my advice. Now his hours have been cut back, so saving is a literal impossibility at this point.

The only other thing we could do is borrow money from family, but we’re all spread extremely thin. All of us want to leave, but that’s not going to happen now that the real estate market has dropped.

Or, perhaps that’s the _only_ ones left.

Most of the people left there would burn the state own because Popeyes ran out of the new chicken sandwich.

The rest of them, the one's who fled, they are busy in places like where I live, turning it into Chicago.
