real leaders spend a lot more time building than they do making threats.
We have no idea what KG is doing or talking to behind the scenes, we can only read headlines and react. We do know for a fact that he's been in contact with Pritzker about this issue, and I would guess it has taken place numerous times.

This was almost certainly the case with Elon Musk. It's more than evident that both of these people probably spent years going back and forth with municipal leaders, and eventually realized that they were getting nowhere. Threatening to move one's headquarters is usually a last resort. But sure, if calling them brats makes you feel better, then knock yourself out. But I think you'd just like to assume the worst about these people, for reasons that only you would know.
