Caterpillar Latest Co To Sleek From Chicago

CNN reports mega-construction equipment maker Caterpillar is moving from Chicago to Dallas & it’s the latest financial EARTHQUAKE to hit coastal & norther blue cities bent on high taxes, crime & progressive agendas …

“We believe it’s in the best strategic interest of the company to make this move (from suburban Deerfield, ill. to Irving, Tx), which supports Caterpillar’s strategy for profitable growth as we help our customers build a better, more sustainable world,” said CEO Jim Umpleby in a written statement. Translated, the woke pols are killing profits & our employees’ pocket books while we pay lip service to the environmentalists who won’t get off our back for this, that & the other woe they come up with. It’s no coincidence the WSJ recently published an op ed lambasting Illinois’ oppressive tax structure, e.g., its local real estate tax bills Caterpillar execs had to pay in its ritzy suburb was among the highest in the nation. The loss of that massive revenue from Caterpillar & its 230 employees must be staggering to a state & city already flirting with insolvency as crime soars unchecked.

As the WSJ also noted, Chicago & Illinois are not alone in companies leaving long-time headquarters for greener pastures down South. “Companies including Tesla, Oracle, Hewlett have cited cheaper real estate and access to bigger or more flexible workforces as reasons to pack up and move their corporate headquarters in the last two years.” Boeing also said in May it would move its global headquarters to Arlington, Va from Chicago, “bringing its leadership closer to federal officials & an engineering talent pool.” Wait a second. Weren’t THOSE the reasons Boeing left Seattle for Chicago just a few years ago? Somewokeone in Toddling' Town being played for a fool?
