I wonder how many Texas businesses will dash to Chicago after seeing this:

Dang it, so much for proofreading. “Taxes” in the title should be “Texas”.

Thoroughly corrupt place. I’d advise staying far, far away.

Come for the business, stay for the shootings?

Yeah. Funny how they didn’t mention anything about the midnight shooting parties.

If anyone in Texas would even think of this, they should go to Chicago.

We need to keep dividing the country. And no, I’m not being sarcastic.

I saw that also. Odd that the DMN would publish the ad without a copyright or byline.

But it is the smell of money to them.

And the first business that I hope moves to Chicago is the Dallas Morning sNews. With the new editor they speak and act more like anEast Coast liberal that anyone else this side of O’Rourke.

Here's a PDF of the ad.

This reminds me of a classic punk song by Fear (which they played during the greatest live performance ever on SNL) called New York's Alright If You Like Saxaphones

New York's alright, New York's alright
New York's alright if you like saxophones

New York's alright if you wanna get pushed in front of the subway
New York's alright if you like tebirculosis
New York's alright if you like art and jazz
New York's alright if you're a homosexual

New york's alright, New York's alright
New York's alright if you like saxophones

New York's alright if you like drunks in your doorway
New York's alright if you wanna freeze to death
New York's alright if you wanna get mugged or murdered
New York's alright if you like saxophones

New York's alright, New York's alright
New York's alright if you like saxophones

Oh brother. Any phrase that starts “We believe...” is bound to be pure Leftist drivel, and this so-called ad is a perfect example.

“Come to Chicago for the high taxes. Stay for the drive-by shootings.”

And the “mostly peaceful protests” that may loot and burn your business.

corrupt politicians
murder rate
crime generally
crappy weather
taxes
inordinate power of unions
vote fraud
lack of defensive rights
anti-business regulations
lockdowns

... yeah, I’m moving to Chicago tomorrow!

I’m taking several businesses to Florida from Colorado. Colorado sucks, too, just like Illinois!

Every person’s right to vote. Even the dead! And if you choose not to vote, they will vote for you!

Protecting reproductive rights. Don’t want that baby growing in your stomach? No need to rush with that terrible heartbeat. Just kill it right up to the moment of birth!

Science to fight COVID-19. Don’t worry about what science says! We’ll tell you what to do! Now turn in your guns and get into the cattle cars that will take you to Covid safety camps.
