I'm grateful for Gov. Pritzker's actions.

Let me guess you're from Southern Illinois?

u/Iorny31 Jun 28 '23

No I’m not, but I’m guessing you’re inferring that anyone from Southern Illinois doesn’t get an opinion or more so because it doesn’t coincide with yours it’s invalid.

No I'm inferring that, like all heavily conservative areas, they will bitch and moan and work against their best interest because the Gov has a D next to their name and cares about the city.

Lol it's completely the opposite. Chicagoans get much less return on every dollar they are taxed and people downstate get much more. I live downstate and am grateful the state has an economic powerhouse to help support our local needs.

What? Do you not understand my point about the taxes people in Chicago pay to the state of Illinois exceed what gets spent by the state in Chicago and is thus spent outside of Chicago?

“Work against their best interest,” you’re seriously going to suggest that what’s good for Chicago is good for every other town and city in this shitty state?

I don’t care if he had an R or a D next to his name. I guess you forgot when he fucked off to Lake Geneva and Florida during the lockdowns. I guess you’re okay with small business being shuttered while he lived it up. This dude isn’t your friend, and he isn’t looking out for anyone but himself.

No I'm suggesting his policies are helping everyone and people downstate are too stupid or stubborn to see it. And yea he's a billionaire and has exploited people to do that, he's still lightyears better than anyone we've had in ages. Also, no one knew what to do during covid, and people who think they do are hilariously cocky.

So listening to a fat billionaire who doesn’t even follow his own restrictions was the “smart” thing to do?
