According to reports, Illinois alone lost 33,703 citizens to outward migration last year. In 2016, the state lost another 37,508 people. A report by the Chicago Tribune also noted that Chicago has been a net loser of its citizens for the last three years running. And the surrounding county was also a net loser of its population.
Indeed, Chicago is unique in the U.S. for being the only major city that has consistently lost citizens over the last five years. The Tribune’s editorial board even published an editorial saying that it no longer makes any sense to live in Illinois.
Because so many citizens are leaving, Illinois dropped from fifth-largest state to number six in 2017, the Tribune reported last year.
Hit Walmart about 10:15; it was already a mess. School let out on Wednesday, so lots of women were accompanied by their wee linoleum rats. As such, I had to reduce my “buggy” (what some folks ’round here call shopping carts) speed significantly and be very careful to avoid any KiddieKarnage.
That, in addition to the waddlebutts and KorpulenceKarts, made me want to see if they had any hatchets in the Garden Dept.
Happy Ghey Orca Friday, Wheelizens! 👿
I got nothin’ else…’cept a boatload of roofing-related paperwork to do.
And a procurement run which includes WaddleMart, which should be extra-busy today due to Memorial Day. (But not as bad as tomorrow’s gonna be…)
BBL.
Good morning, GN! Hello, Fatwa!
I’ve been watching the orca video for five minutes now and I still can’t find the cat.
What do you think they are running from?
That makes sense.
My birth city is losing population; sad!
