Tyson was not a Chicago based company, they bought out Hillshire and are consolidating HQ's. With remote work there is a good possibility the jobs will stay here anyway. More red meat from the anti-Chicago press

Good for anybody that leaves Chicago. The most corrupt and most crime in the United States!

Protect Illinois from another Pritzker term. Do not vote for Pritzker! Pass it on!

😢

Crime is rising and big business is leaving. Soon to lose the Bears.

When public safety is the reason why Fortune 500 companies leave your city and your mayor still refuses to acknowledge the issue… the tax implications will result in more massive property tax hikes, which will trickle down to rent hikes. We’re all doomed

Democratic leadership has ruined the city. It’s obvious. ROFL. JussieSmollett

Why? Because chicagosmayor allowed thugs to take over the town.

I would let these Failing companies, who are a burden to the tax base, move to other states who will give them the farm with no return on investments. Just look at Texas!

Nice work GovPritzker

SMH. I remember listening to the radio and hearing them announce Boeing was coming to Chicago back in the day.

I move from the chicago city to I buy a beautiful farm in the country 🤣🤣hope the Tyson take the workers to

So they also left Downers Grove and South Dakota, but only Chicago is Chicago's fault right?

Another Pritzker win!

Smart move... Get out while you still can.
