I keep thinking of the Gadsden Purchase - as Illinois sinks deeper and deeper into bankruptcy, I keep hoping maybe the Cheeseheads will offer the Machine a few bucks to move the state line south a bit - then with a little bit of luck, I might end up on the north side of it.
Hmm...well if they bypass C(r)ook County (or at least most of it) I suspect they’d find a welcome reception!
Alternately, just mobilize the Red Arrow and charge south....
