I am literally surrounded by business owners and former business owners who have packed up and moved out of MA, CONN, NJ, NY & IL. This is no longer funny, it is very real. I also know of 2 billionaires who re-domiciled out of IL in the last few months. One of them sat down to lunch with JB and told him he cant make up the revenue and never will and urged him to change course because IL is going to be the first state to test the constitutionality of state bankruptcy. Its that bad. Laugh at FLorida but it's growing and accelerating that growth while IL is shrinking. In fact the year I was born, IL was larger than both TX and FL. Now TX is 3 times the size of IL and FL is 2x while IL is literally the same population. Thats 50 years of stagnation.

One man's trash is another man's Florida.
Seriously, though, I'd consider moving to Florida myself if I smoked, jet-skied and was named Tammy. There's no better place to be if you enjoy hearing people complain about walking. Plus you get to shoot whomever you want as long as you say they were threatening you!
