Hicks have been at this for years. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

And rural areas would have hands out for that terrible tax revenue they don't want to contribute to!

1. The rural downstate counties

would be in for a rude awakening to be sure.

2. Why don't they leave? . .

problem solved. Ummm, why not go to Indiana or Missouri or Wisconsin . . .

Hands off Michigan.

3. If it weren't for Chicago, the trash in downstate IL would have NOTHING. I went to ISU. Everything

south of Route 30 is the equivalent of Alabama. Aside from the school towns like Bloomington and Champaign, it's a bunch of inbreeders who despise Chicago so much that they root for the Cardinals over the Cubs. And they elect people like Bruce Rauner.

As far as I'm concerned, they can go ahead with their plans. Chicago will be better off.

4. Notice the snotty

comment "We know how to wash our hands". A disgusting little slam against "those dirty others" who are in urban areas.
Let 'em lose everything and suffer. I would jump for joy.

5. Oh, it's coming. Rural will be hit harder but slower

and they will need the resources of the big bad cities.
