Our moronic senator, Little Dickie Durbin, is pushing for this for every state. They passed this same ‘Amazon law’ in Illinois where we have lost the most jobs of any state in the nation.

Good luck to the rest of you.

Did you see the post today or yesterday that charted the start of the
job loss in IL?

The peak of employment immediately flat-lined after that massive
[state] tax increase, then started declining very shortly (I'm
guessing a handful of weeks) afterward.

Man, I really feel badly for people in Illinois.

Auto industry, music industry.........general economy - down.

I call for monthly medications I need and almost all are out of state.

Reps. are very cheerful and talkative and I always ask what part of the country they live and how do they it, etc. Just chit chat while my order is processed

One lady in Illinois just sighs and hopes things get better. They are hopeful but she clearly is depressed about job conditions in Illinois and her family is considering taking up roots and moving out of state. I think she is a native of Illinois, too. They don't want to move but it might come to that whether they want to or not. It angers me that political bullies can have such a wide effect over people's lives. What other states and industries will be next? Best wishes, citizens of Illinois.

I have to believe the red state Governors like Kasich are wise to this. Here in Ohio there has been not a whisper of such stupidity.
