Boeing, Citadel, Caterpillar and now the Bears have left Chicago

But the politicians gave illegal immigrants 2.5 billion

Democrats fuck everything up.

[Jeanne Ives @JeanneIves]

Absolutely sick. The adults hosting and participating are the problem.

[The Uman @TheUman23]

These are two of the biggest scumbags in Illinois politics. They don't give a shit about Illinois taxpayers. They view them as an ATM to line their own pockets. They raise taxes exponentially every year. Claiming they care about them now is peak hypocrisy. Jagoff pricks.

[PhillyGodfather ® Sports Bettor @phillygodfather]

@North2North I never in my wildest dreams ever envisioned the Bears leaving Chicago. The Democrats destroy everything and it's only a matter of time in Cities like Philly and so on.

[PhillyGodfather ® Sports Bettor @phillygodfather]

You're free to be a moron and vote Democrats into office who rather spend 2.5 billion on illegal immigrants

[Valliant Renegade @ValliantRenegad]

It’s pretty funny watching Chicago melt down over this when these very same lefty voters are the ones to blame for it. Elections and policy have consequences. They can move the team down the road a few miles and save a fortune in taxes and regulatory headaches.

Chicago lost the Bears this week. A team that's been in the city since 1921.

They didn't lose them to a bigger market or a better deal. The Bears decided they'd rather be a tenant in Indiana than deal with Illinois for one more year.

Think about how badly you have to run a place for that to be the smart move.

They lost them for two reasons.

The people running Illinois would rather villainize a builder than keep one. And they're bad at their jobs.

In 2021 the Bears spent $197M on the old Arlington Park racetrack.

Before they could break ground, Cook County valued the empty lot at $192M (Bears said $60M). They were salivating at the chance to extort a building that didn't even exist yet.

That fight dragged on for years.

The Bears were ready to put $2B into the stadium. All they wanted was a promise the county wouldn't reassess them into oblivion, plus $855M for infrastructure everyone uses. Roads, transit, utilities. A $3B project, two thirds of it private money pouring into Illinois.

Springfield had since 2021 to get this done. They dragged it to the final night of session, passed it through the Senate at 3:39AM, and the House went home without voting.

So now it's all gone.

The funniest part? This started because Cook County tried to grab the tax early. They knew a built stadium would pay $53M a year. Now they get under $4M on a vacant lot. No jobs, no buildout, no new anything.

Congrats on fighting for scraps and losing the whole prize.

Pritzker: they're "an $8.5B valued business" that doesn't need propping up.

But be smart for a second. Almost every NFL city throws in public money for a stadium. Not charity. The return is real. Tourism, hotels, restaurants, jobs, game days, property tax on a huge development. The math works.

Indiana did the math. While Illinois sat on it for years, Indiana passed a bill in months, put up $1B, and took the team.

And the Bears took a worse deal to get there. In Illinois they were going to own their stadium. In Indiana they rent it from the state. A team that wanted to build its own home gave up ownership just to escape Chicago.

Nobody won but Indiana. The Bears lost their stadium. Illinois lost the team, the $2B, and $53M a year in taxes.

Pritzker after they left: "I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team."

There it is. "Billionaire-owned."

That's how Democrats talk about any business right before they run it out of town. Call them a billionaire, act like you're saving working families, take a victory lap while the tax base drives across the state line.

Meanwhile they're running the whole state into the ground. And you already know how this ends. You're living in it.

Pensions are $143B in the hole, worst in the country and not close. You pay $6,285 a year in property taxes, double the $2,969 national average, for a city that's $1.15B in the red. The mayor called its finances "the point of no return."

When you run things this badly, you sell what's left.

They leased the parking meters for 75 years to Morgan Stanley and a sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi. Took $1.15B and burned through it in two years. The investors already made it all back, with 58 years left to collect.

Sold the Skyway. Sold the downtown garages. Every asset that made money, gone for one check.

But a fixed property tax rate for a team that's been here 106 years? That's "propping up billionaires."

Companies are leaving. Boeing for Virginia. Caterpillar for Texas. Citadel for Miami. In 2023 alone Illinois lost 56,000 people and $6B in income to other states. The ones who left earned a third more than the ones who moved in.

Indiana didn't outbid anyone. AAA credit, 16 years straight. A $676M surplus. Fourth-lowest debt per person in the country. They just weren't a disaster.

Illinois could have collected $53M a year. It chose zero. Ignore all the bad management but make sure to stick it to those evil, pesky billionaires.

Notice how no major football clubs are leaving red states or cities for crappy crime ridden shithole blue cities. Wonder why that is? 🤔

[Dan Dakich @dandakich]

Did anyone think fatass silver spoon billionaire Pritzker or lazy incompetent Chi Mayor would ever figure this out?
Red state common sense wins again.

[@Chicago1Ray 🇺🇸 @Chicago1Ray]

Pritzker gives illegals ($2.5B) in free housing, medicaid and EBT cards, but they can't give the Bears

-Infrastructure
-Tax incentives- with certainty

Gov Braun (R) got the Bears bc he put Indiana first, Pritzker put Illegals first

Keep voting Democrat, you f'n dirtbags

[ThienemanSZN @ThienemanSZN]

$400 Million on the Obama library but can’t spend anything on infrastructure for the Bears great job politicians 👍

🚨PRIDE MONTH🚨

The Texas Rangers are the ONLY MLB team not acknowledging “Pride Month.”

The Rangers are again not hosting an LGBT night event.

Instead, on June 18, they will be hosting a Faith and Family Night.

According to their website, the event will feature “personal testimonies from Rangers players Wyatt Langford, Josh Jung, Cody Bradford, Jacob Latz, Jalen Beeks, and others, sharing how faith impacts their lives both on and off the field.”

Can someone please explain to me why Democrats are mad about this

[KPT91 @KPT_91]

Biden 2020 lol

[Samantha Brown @samthelion79]

So let me get this straight. There was a ballot drop of 24,000 ballots and not ONE was a vote for Spencer Pratt? People, if you still think elections aren't rigged, you truly are a special kind of retarded.
